Orientador: Susanna Busato / Banca: Diana Martha Junkes Toneto / Banca: Antonio Donizeti Pires / Resumo: O objetivo da pesquisa é propor uma leitura de Poemas malditos, gozosos e devotos (1984), de Hilda Hilst, a partir do tema e do paradigma do sacrifício. Segundo Hubert e Mauss (2005), o sacrifício é uma dádiva, um presente, que o homem religioso oferece a seres superiores aos quais lhe convém se ligar. Em todo o sacrifício, um objeto (a vítima) passa do domínio comum ao domínio sagrado. Bataille (1987) estabeleceu uma similitude entre o ato erótico e o sacrificial. O ato amoroso, segundo ele, não desintegra menos o ser que o sacrificante ao imolar sua vítima. O domínio do erotismo torna-se o domínio da violência, da violação. A parte feminina, enquanto vítima, se dissolve e a parte masculina toma o lugar do sacrificador, e ambos se perdem, durante a consumação do ato erótico, numa continuidade estabelecida por um ato que se fundamenta na destruição. Nesse sentido, uma vez que a obra de Hilda Hilst, desde seu surgimento, perscruta o Sagrado (COELHO, 1993), a relação entre erotismo e sacrifício é uma via privilegiada de leitura para essa poesia. Considerando-se o modo de representação do discurso poético hilstiano, que encena o jogo entre eu e tu, a leitura do conjunto evidencia a anulação do sujeito poético, configurando-se como vítima, e a figuração do Outro como grande sacrificador. O tema do sacrifício conteria em si uma possibilidade de elucidação do sentido estético dessa poesia, como a admissão mais radical de sua lógica contraditória, na qual a retórica místico-religiosa convive com o sensualismo mais desbravado. Nesse contexto, os paradoxos sobejam, fazendo comunicar o mais alto e o mais baixo, seja tematicamente, seja linguisticamente / Abstract: The objective of this reflection is to scrutinize one of the topics dear to Hilda Hilst's poetic: the representation of the Sacred, in order to establish a knowledge about the construction of the lyrical subjectivity in such poetry. According to Hubert and Mauss (2005), the sacrifice is a gift that religious man offers to the gods. In every sacrifice, an object becomes sacred. Bataille (1987) has established a similarity between the act erotic and the sacrificial. The loving act, according to him, not least disintegrates the being that sacrificer to slay his victim. The field of eroticism becomes the field of violence and violation. The female part, as victim, is dissolved and the male part takes the place of the sacrificer. Since Hilda Hilst's poetic scrutinizes the Sacred (COELHO, 1993), the relationship between eroticism and sacrifice is a privileged way of reading for this poetry. The theme of sacrifice would contain within itself a possibility of elucidation of aesthetic sense that poetry, such as the admission more radical in its contradictory logic, in which the rhetoric mystical-religious coexists with the sensuality more uncovered. In this context, the paradoxes were stationed, and communicate the 'highest' and the 'lowest', thematically and linguistically / Mestre

This thesis comprises two works: a novel ‘Libertine’ and a monograph ‘A writer’s reflection’. ‘Libertine’contemplates the eroticising and brutalising of being, and sex as currency, as need and as sacrament. It is set in a city where war is the norm, nightmare the standard, and ancient deities are called upon to witness the new order of killing technologies. The story is narrated by a woman chosen to be the consort of the General, a despostic war leader who believes that he has been chosen by the goddess Kali. She journeys deep into a horror which exists not only around her, but also within her. ‘Libertine’, by melding the erotic and the Gothic, tells the story of a woman enacting the role cast for her in the complex theatres of war. ‘A writer’s reflection’ discusses the themes of the novel, introducing the notion of existential erotica. The existential experience particular to the expression of the erotic being is discussed, and the dilemma which arises from a self yearning to merge ecstatically with an/other in order to obtain a heightened or differently valued self. This theme is elaborated in ‘Libertine’ with regard to subjectivity and the broader issues of nausea, horror and choice, drawing on the conventions of Gothic literature and apocalyptic visioning. This visioning, as eroticised death worship, is found in a Sadian credo of cruelty, the tantric rituals of Kali devotion, and the annihilating erotic excess propounded by Bataille. The monograph illustrated that ‘Libertine’ is not a re-representation of these elements, but an original contribution to the literature of erotica. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
