| Abstract | |
Departing from the identities crystallized as "trans" by the most varied discourses in circulation, I intend to draw a cartography for the manifestations of dissident genres in the literature of Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil, covering the period that goes from 2001 to 2020. geographic arrangement of countries on a North-South axis, I focus on the historical insertion of dissident sexualities and genres in Portuguese literature, starting with Trans Iberic Love (2013), by Raquel Freire, as a possibility of thinking about transfuturism, aesthetics of a possible future for trans people. Then, I analyze the possibilities of trans gender deterritorialization, from the animal alterity in the body constructed as human, in the novel Marginais (2010), by Cape Verdean writer Evel Rocha. Finally, to think about a cartography of T corporalities in Brazilian literature, as well as the deterritorialization of the body as a possibility of transfuturism, I analyze Deixei ele lá e vim (2006), by Elvira Vigna. Along the way, I study the mentioned novels having as a guiding element the idea of Naturalist Realism, in which the naturalist aesthetics imposes itself on the contemporary novel of the three countries as a unique and ontological possibility, as well as the idea of Transfuturism, a way of breaking with the literary tradition of Naturalist Realism and the possibility of rereading the European avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. The proposed concepts depart from discussions of queer utopia, proposed by Lee Edelman (2004), José Esteban Muñoz (2009) and Jack Halberstam (2011), which seeks to break with the subaltern position to which travesti characters were mostly demarcated in the 20th century. In addition, I also work with authors who are concerned with imagining other futures, such as Mark Fisher (2020), Donna Haraway (2016a) and Anna Tsing (2022). (AU) | |
