This research project proposes an original position in the current debate on literary theory in Brazil. Underpinning this position is a characterization of the specificity of the literary object, whose main trait lies in its irreducibility to predicative logic: the literary artifact's being cannot be approached through an accumulation or listing of its attributes, for, on the contrary, it…
The aim of this research is to suggest a literary interpretation of the Bataillian informe, taking into account the fragmentation of the body and the body of the text in three key works: Madame Edwarda (1941), by Georges Bataille, Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein (1964), by Marguerite Duras, and A Obscena Senhora D (1982), by Hilda Hilst. From a close and parallel reading of the works chose…
This research investigates Alain Badiou's philosophical work, with three main goals: to improve dialogues between such work and literary studies; to investigate the idea of fictionality that is mobilized by his definition of philosophy as a type of fiction; and to formalize some instrumental contributions to literary theory. These three goals will also involve: determining a more accurate…
It is aimed, in this research, to analyze and interpret the construction of the malaise (nostalgia, melancholy and other affects irradiated by them) and the feeling of failure on three novels written by José Lins do Rego in which the protagonist is Carlos de Melo; the novels are Menino de engenho, Doidinho and Banguê and they were published, respectively, in 1933, 1934 and 1935.

"Playing", by Eduardo Coutinho (2007), is the material from which an object is envisaged: the relationship between work and its reader/spectator. Considering the characteristics of that relationship, such as its dubiety in acting between the fictional/non-fictional registers or between inciting individual and collective memories, hypotheses are raised: (a) the aesthetic conformation of th…
The research project at hand has as its object the concept of Aestheticism that arises in the nineteenth century; it focuses both on the idea of the autonomy of art, such as it was conceived by the l'art pour l'art movement, and on the idea of the aestheticization of everyday life that is contemporary to it, visible in different spheres such as in architecture and in the decorative arts. …
In June 2013, massive demonstrations as not seen for years have taken over the streets of Brazil.

This project envisions an investigation that aims to analyze a sample of photojournalistic coverage that extends from 2013 to the present day, widely disseminated…

To make up for the lack of Brazilian studies on the literary in cinema from the perspective of Critical Theory, an internship abroad is proposed to fully develop the in-country research project on the film Jogo de Cena (Coutinho, 2007). The internship aims to meet three specific objectives: a) to seek the unity of the film between play and semblance (ADORNO, 2018) and between art and comm…
This proposal for an internship abroad deals with a paradigm shift in the novel genre whose manifestations can be observed in the figurative weakening of the entrepreneurial protagonist. It aims to demonstrate how the intention of conquering the world, often thematized in Realism, is replaced by the regression of desire; which becomes recurrent in its second half. To this end, the researc…
This project proposes to describe a set of modernist techniques developed by James Joyce in his Ulysses. The intention is to identify one technique per episode and explain it as autonomously as possible. One main objetive is to offer a contribution to the current literary debate in Brazil, which seems to be marked by two falsely contradictory positions: one the hand a literature based on …
