A poética interseccional de Lívia Natália

Abstract

The becoming-black-woman in the intersectional poetics of the poet Lívia Natália is the central theme of this thesis, whose corpus of analysis is the works Correntezas e outros estudos marinhos ( Currents and other marine studies ) (2015) and Águas Negras e outras águas (Black waters and other waters ) (2017). The bibliographical and qualitative approach made it possible to investigate how, from the perspective of intersectionality, the body, self-definition and self-recovery appear in the works analyzed. Specifically, the following concepts were articulated: intersectionality (Crenshaw, 2002; Collins, 2021 ), self-definition (Collins, 2019), self-recovery (hooks, 2019) and becoming-woman (Deleuze; Guattari, 2012), with a view to constructing the concept of intersectional poetics. As a result, the construction of intersectional poetics in the works of Lívia Natália was verified, as well as how the becoming-black-woman figures in this poetics. The thesis is structured in five sections, from which an analytical path was traced on the poetic diction under study. The analysis of the poems made it possible to delineate the intersectional poetics from the thematic axes: memory, affections, loneliness, ancestry, entangling the politics of the body and the political body. I see the poetic fabric inscribed with and from the black body as a mechanism of reexistence. Thus, the ways of writing experience reposition the analysis of the poetics produced by black women. In this sense, based on the readings carried out and the material produced, I conclude that by in(bodily)rating to the poetic material weavings of self-definition, self-determination and self-determination.
