Como nos alerta o crítico e organizador da obra da autora, Alcir Pécora (2005), o conceito de obscenidade se adéqua ao livro e a toda a obra de Hilda Hilst, na medida em que se detecta o obsceno no emprego de palavras que se referem aos órgãos excretores utilizados sexualmente. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa tem como corpus o último livro da tetralogia, no qual há, além do obsceno, o realismo grotesco, estudado por Mikhail Bakhtin ([1965] 1993), em que se percebe o uso dos opostos e das regiões baixas do corpo para que dele possam surgir o riso e a crítica. Nos sete poemas-fábulas que compõem Bufólicas, estão presentes as personagens tradicionais dos contos de fadas, como: o rei, a rainha, a bruxa, a menina, o lobo, a avó, o anão, a donzela e a fada. Essas personagens, relacionadas ora com o bem, ora com o mal, comumente estão ligadas ao alto corporal; entretanto, nos sete poemas aparecem com as emoções ligadas ao sexo, sendo, desse modo, transpostas para o baixo corporal, para as regiões reprodutoras e excretoras do corpo humano. Vê-se, portanto, a união de elementos díspares na feitura dos poemas, que misturam gêneros e registros altos com os baixos, como os contos de fadas e as fábulas com o grotesco e o obsceno, que rebaixam essa literatura clássica ao rés do chão. Nesse sentido, este trabalho visa analisar a obscenidade presente nos poemas-fábulas, relacionando-os às noções de grotesco e de paródia, sob a mira das reflexões sobre o assunto de, além dos citados, Georges Bataille ([1957] 2013), Wolfgang Kaiser ([1957] 1986), Victor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva ([1967] 2007), Vladímir Propp ([1976] 1992), Linda Hutcheon ([1984] 1985) e Sarane Alexandrian ([1989] 1994). O objetivo é analisar os sete poemasfábulas de Bufólicas, aproximando-os de seus respectivos personagens-modelo nos contos de fada, de modo a investigar o efeito literário dessa aproximação paródica, grotesca e obscena.

The poet and novelist H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) published eleven essays on the cinema in the film journal Close Up between 1927 and 1929. This thesis analyses H.D.' s writing on film from a feminist perspective. It also explores the connections between her commentary on film and the feminist aspects of some of her fictional works. Largely based upon archival film research, this thesis incorporates a much greater amount of film history than has yet been brought to the study of H.D. Placing her within the cultural context of the time, it also represents the first extended examination of H.D. in relation to popular culture. The thesis is structured in three parts, each comprising two chapters and considering H.D.' s writings on film from a different viewpoint. In the first part, H.D.'s cultural position as a woman and film critic is debated. In assessing the impact of gender upon H.D.' s construction of a public, critical voice it is argued that the association of the feminine with popular forms of entertainment led H.D. to exaggerate her difference from the mass of cinema spectators. Evidence of H.D.' s contradictory position is found in the discrepancies between the highculture stance adopted in her film writing, and in the feminist themes and implied authorial positions in her novels Bid Me to Live (written in 1939) and Her (written in 1927). In the central section, H.D.' s critique of women in film is examined in the context of representations of women in silent cinema. Her commentary on film is found to contain astute remarks on the commodification of women on the screen, as well as a sophisticated and sustained attempt to theorize the position of the feminine in the visual economy, which bears comparison with contemporary feminist film scholarship. It is argued that H.D.'s feminist critique of the cinematic gaze re-emerges in the subversive narrative strategies of two novellas: Nights (1935) and 'Kora and Ka' (1935). In the third part, the focus narrows to analyse H.D.'s response to one particular film actress, namely Greta Garbo. The extent to which H.D. 's continuing re-evaluation of the cultural significance of the figure of Helen of Troy was inspired by Garbo's star image is deliberated. From the first encounter with Garbo's image on screen recorded in Close Up in 1927, to the meditations on a Garbo-like figure in The Usual Star (1934) and finally in the reworking of the myths of Helen in Helen in Egypt (1961) it is suggested that Garbo's screen career provided H.D. with a prototype on which to base increasingly complex ideas about women, narrative and identity. The strategy adopted in each section is to establish the feminist issues raised by H.D.' s essays on film, and then go on to explore these same issues as they arise in her fictional texts. Repeatedly, it is found that H.D.'s fictional work takes up a question treated with relative simplicity in Close Up and develops it into a complex meditation on the inter-relation between gender, power and art.

Transitando por todos os gêneros: poesia, teatro, ficção, crônica, Hilda Hilst construiu ao longo dos quase cinqüenta anos dedicados exclusivamente à produção literária, um amplo painel da sociedade e da subjetividade brasileiras contemporâneas. Neste trabalho, nos aproximamos mais detidamente das crônicas hilstianas. Publicadas no período de 1992 a 1995, no Correio Popular, jornal que circula na cidade de Campinas. Algumas dessas crônicas foram posteriormente reunidas na coletânea Cascos & Carícias, em 1998. Produção ainda não contemplada pelos estudos literários, as crônicas hilstianas se constituem num espaço fronteiriço e híbrido em que a autora conjuga a densidade estilística e temática de sua obra anterior com a leveza que caracteriza o gênero dito inocente, sem grandes pretensões , como apontam alguns poucos teóricos que se dedicaram ao estudo desse gênero tipicamente brasileiro, a crônica

This thesis examines the literary deployment of the visual in the work of H. D. (Hilda Doolittle). Beginning with a discussion of the early poetry of Sca Garden (1916) and the essay Notes on Thought and Vision (1919), 1 argue that H. D. 's categorisation as an Imagist poet has effaced the political and aesthetic possibilities opened up by her prose and later work. H. D. *s representation of 'womb vision' in Notes on Thought and Vision can be seen to anticipate the notion of' the 'creating spectator' in the theoretical writings of the Soviet film director. Sergei Eisenstein. Thus, by considering Sea Garden alongside developments in early cinema, I re-evaluate the image in H. D. *s early work, and locate her poetics not as 'static" but as kinetic. H. D. was also directly involved in film-making and in the writing of film criticism. Chapter Two explores how her engagement with the moving image is inscribed into the autobiographical novel Her, written in 1917. Examining Her alongside the silent film Borderline (1930), which H. D. helped to produce, this chapter explores issues of sexual and racial difference which are foregrounded through the formal devices employed in both texts. Chapter Three examines Tile Gýfi, which was written during the Second World War, in the light of H. D. 's contributions to the film journal Close Up (1927-33). This reading not only illuminatcs the political and ideological implications of H. D. 's use of the visual, it explores the intersections between literary and visual cultures at the beginning of the twentieth century. Accounts of cinema are largely absent from the history of literary Modernism and the thesis therefore goes some way towards a revisionist analysis of the period. Chapter Four extends the paradigm of the visual in H. D. 's work still further, analysing her memoirs Tribute To Freud (1956) and the unpublished Mqiic Ring (1943-44) in the light of her involvement with spiritualism. Both these texts encode a critique of the scientific 'gaze' exemplified by psychoanalysis and offer possibilities for an alternative model of 'seeing' which is predicated upon spiritual, or visionary, experience. Returning to the discourse of the cinema in Chapter Five, I contextualise my reading of Helen in EDIpt (1961 ) within debates about synchronised sound in early cinema. I also explore H. D. 's construction of female subjectivity and corporeality in Helen in the light of recent feminist film theory. In many ways H. D. 's work anticipates the preoccupations of recent feminist thinkers such as Luce Irigaray, H616ne Cixous and Judith Butler. These writers - along with recent feminist film theorists like Mary Ann Doane and Laura n Mulvey - provide a theoretical underpinning for the thesis. Such an approach permits a questioning of H. D. 's perceived position as a 'Modernist' poet. Furthermore, in the light of postmodern preoccupations with process, fluidity and flux, it is possible to see how dominant configurations of gender and sexuality are. through H. D. 's work, deliberately, and consistently, unsettled.
