Esta pesquisa investiga a construção do texto dramatúrgico Virginias, sobre a vida da escritora inglesa Virginia Woolf, que utilizou como metodologia de escrita o procedimento de apropriação, em que a obra e os diários pessoais da escritora foram fraturados pelo recorte e pela posterior colagem destes intertextos na nova criação. O trabalho articula os estudos sobre citação e apropriação de Antoine Compagnon, Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna, Kenneth Goldsmith e Marjorie Perloff, percebendo o procedimento como uma prática que tem a pós-modernidade como influência. A pesquisa utiliza como aportes teóricos sobre a condição pós-moderna, os autores Jean-François Lyotard e Linda Hutcheon e Cecília Salles sobre a gênese criativa. / This research investigates the construction of the play Virginias, about the life of English writer Virginia Woolf, which used as writing methodology the procedure of appropriation. This procedure consisted in fracturing the writer’s work and diaries by cutting them out and then pasting the pieces of intertext together in a new creation. The work articulates the studies about quotation and appropriation of Antoine Compagnon, Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna, Kenneth Goldsmith and Marjorie Perloff, and perceives the procedure as a practice that has postmodernity as influence. The research has as theoretical background about the postmodern condition the authors Jean-François Lyotard and Linda Hutcheon and Cecília Salles about creative genesis.

This dissertation is a study of the relationship between the modern Künstlerromane of Arnold Bennett, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf and issues of embodiment. Born of the field of aesthetics, the literary genre of Künstlerroman inherits its conflicts. The chief dilemma of the form is how an isolated artistic consciousness connects with the world through a creative act. Bennett, Joyce, and Woolf offer different and contradictory resolutions. By examining how each writer conceives the body, I discover in Woolf the idea of an ethical aesthetics that contravenes the assumed polarity between mind and body, between self and other, and between material and ideal. Written only a few years apart, Clayhanger (1910), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), and The Voyage Out (1915) tell a compelling story of the relationship between embodiment and a creative life.
