In trânsito: reflexões acerca de identidades de gênero nas obras "Acenos e afagos", de João Gilberto Noll e "Onde andará Dulce Veiga?: um romance B"

Abstract

The present work aims to propose a reflection on issues of gender and identities, from the central characters in the works Acenos e afagos, by João Gilberto Noll and Onde Andará Dulce Veiga?: um romance B, by Caio Fernando Abreu, identifying, through the trajectory of both, possible relations of these "literary bodies" with "real bodies". Joining literature to anthropology and analyzing these characters under the bias of gender theories, I try to identify them as either queer or trans characters, showing the friction with the "real" and the mobilizing capacity of subjectivities of their presences.
