A casa dos sonhos : escrita como espaço de elaboração e resistência à violência em relacionamentos sáficos

Abstract

In A Casa dos Sonhos: escrita como espaço de elaboração e resistência à violência em relacionamentos sáficos the premise is the investigation of violence in relationships among women, using Carmen Maria Machado’s work, In the dream house, as a guiding thread. This research, grounded in the methods of collection, constellation, and montage as proposed by Walter Benjamin, integrates literary, artistic, and media discourses, exploring the house as both a physical and a metaphorical space to analyze violence both externally and internally in relationships among lesbian, bisexual, and other identities of women who have relationships with women. Enriched by lesbian, decolonial thought and gender organization, the dissertation engages in a dialogue about the similarities and differences in narratives of domestic violence, intertwining personal accounts within a perspective situated between autoethnography and the narrativization of personal experiences of violence with a heterogeneous collection of literary and audiovisual narratives. The aim is to create more spaces for understanding violence in intimate relationships among women, broadening discussions on the subject and emphasizing writing as a space for resistance and elaboration.
