It departs from the hypothesis that each adaptation constitutes a critical gesture toward the canon, functioning as a space of translation and displacement in which the past is reread through new sensibilities and regimes of image. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from adaptation studies, semiotics and intermediality, post-structuralism, and cultural and postcolonial studies, the research proposes a reading articulated on three levels—cultural system, visual and stylistic aspects, and each film’s position within the cinematographic polysystem—taking as its corpus Hamlet (Franco Zeffirelli, 1990), Hamlet 2000 (Michael Almereyda, 2000), and Hamlet/Horatio (Paul Warner, 2020). In Zeffirelli’s film, the tragic body and sensorial dimension of the mise-en-scène reinscribe the sacred and the forbidden, evoking an imagery of flesh and guilt; in Almereyda’s version, technological modernity transforms the prince into a subject mediated by screens and digital devices, revealing a crisis of interiority and presence; in Warner, the relationship between Hamlet and Horatio is reconfigured as a performance of memory and a queer experience, opening the narrative to new forms of affect and identity. The analysis shows that cinema not only translates Shakespeare but also thinks with him, establishing its own modes of reflection on subjectivity, time, and image. The adaptations reveal that the permanence of the text depends on its capacity to be continuously reinterpreted and to embrace new voices, gazes, and corporealities. Drawing on concepts such as différance and the crystal-image, the thesis argues that the filmic versions displace the boundaries between representation and experience, presence and absence, making visible the constitutive instability of the Shakespearean text. Thus, cinematic Hamlet emerges as a field of thought and reinvention, where memory, body, and gaze intertwine in the production of meaning. In this way, we are led to understand that the survival of Hamlet in cinema is a process of continuous translation that reaffirms its critical, aesthetic, and philosophical potency, turning cinema into a space for the reinscription of the tragic and the reinvention of the Shakespearean legacy.

To this end, the study will draw on a classical theoretical foundation from literature, philosophy, and sociology, as well as elements that may contribute to the discussion of body and space. Furthermore, with regard to the content of the novel and its context of production, the theoretical foundation is rooted in cultural studies—particularly those related to the performance of the Black population in capitalist society, as addressed in Performances do Tempo Espiralar (2021), by Leda Maria Martins—and in the poetic and ontological construction of space in The Poetics of Space (2008), by Gaston Bachelard. Based on this framework, the study aims to explore the construction of Black representations and performances, their ontologies and phenomenologies, and their relationship with land/nature. Accordingly, regarding methodology, the analysis will be based on the subjective selection of excerpts from the book, supported by the theoretical framework developed throughout the Graduate Program in Literature and Culture. Therefore, this research will have an interpretive character and will take into account a socio-historical perspective for the study of this work within contemporary Brazilian literature.

This study examines the representations of slum, a common space in both literary books. We intend to understand how slum emerges as a space of affection or disaffection and belonging or not belonging for people who live there. There is a process of slum extinction in progress in Becos da Memória while there is as an insistent narrator’s desire to leave this space in Quarto de Despejo. We will try to understand how this occurs, its reasons, and its consequences for characters’ lives. In the case of Carolina de Jesus, we will extend our study to Casa de Alvenaria (1961-2021), because this book contains her history after she left slum. It was a deep and repeated desire confessed by the writer-narrator throughout her speech in Quarto de Despejo. We will also bring to light her experience in privileged spaces of the city, as the famous writer she would become with the publication of her first Diary. The concept of "escrevivência" conceived by Conceição Evaristo will help our reading, because it defends lived experience as a starting point for literature produced by black women, as it also reaches the collective experience of black people. Therefore, we will also observe how writing is used by these women as an instrument of resistance and confrontation everyday obstacles. Their texts denounce violence and negligence not only against themselves but also the black and poor populations that live in slums. Our discussion will dialogue with Humanist Geography studies, which, based on concepts such as space and place, topophilia, and topophobia, they propose an approach to people's relationships with lived space. Studies about favelas produced by subjects such as Architecture and Urban Planning and Sociology will be accessed and they will help our reflection about slum as a space still seen through the lens of prejudice and discrimination.

Although her first work, L’Amore Molesto, dates to 1992, it was with the publication of My Brilliant Friend, the first volume of the tetralogy of the same name, that the author rose to bestseller status. In academia, her works are also highly respected, judging by the prolific critical production about them. This dissertation analyzes the first book of the tetralogy and the critical reception of the Italian writer's work (Zarzar, 2019; Ricciardi, 2021; Secches, 2020), under the assumption that there is a continuous movement between the author's fictional production and her criticism, a process that undergoes great analytical intervention by the author herself. Given this premise, the publication of In the Margins (2023), which consists of lectures given by Ferrante in which the author comments on her writing process, and Frantumaglia (2003), a collection of letters, interviews, and comments by the author about her work, is of fundamental importance to this study. Although Elena Ferrante is a pseudonym and the author refuses to reveal her true identity, it is striking how her stance as a commentator on her own work serves as a mainstay for critical reception that favors terms such as Smarginatura and Frantumaglia, which the author herself considers fundamental to the creative process. Thus, this dissertation seeks to discuss what is metaphorically referred to here as ouroboros, investigating the cyclical movement of the relationship between fictional creation and Ferrante's critical intervention in her critical fortune.
