O homoerotismo e a relação de espaço na busca identitária do narrador- personagem na obra Onde Andará Dulce Veiga?

Abstract

In this dissertation, we are supposed to analyze the book Where will be Dulce Veiga? (1990), by Caio Fernando Abreu, based on the assumption that there is in this book a relationship between urban space and homoeroticism, as well as the narrator-character's search for his/her identity. According to this point of view, the analysis of the triad homoeroticism, identity and urban space contributes to the construction of the character(s). Meanwhile, we seek to understand the entire homoerotic social process and its reflections on Abreu's literature, since homoerotic literature can be a way to understand the other and/or oneself. Methodologically, our research is bibliographical, so we have used Queer Theory as the main theoretical framework to support our reflections. Therefore, we draw on the contributions of Judith Butler (2003, 2008, 2013), Michel Foucault (1982, 1985), Guacira Lopes Louro (2004, 2016), João Silvério Trevisan (2000), Paula Dip (2009), among other authors and/or critics who deal with these issues which constitute our object of study.
