A inscrição do corpo político na poesia de Débora Gil Pantaleão

Abstract

In our studies on poetry written by women in Paraíba, we have investigated as a recurrent category the inscription of a female body that is attentive to emergency political issues in our temporality, with emphasis on those based on feminist thinking. Among the poets studied, we chose for this work the poetics of Débora Gil Pantaleão, in which we are interested in the ways in which she elaborates a poetic body that, marked by dissent and a constant target of violence, (re)acts as an instrument of struggle for the destabilization of death policies. In this sense, we aim to analyze the inscription of this body, observing, from the marks of intersectionality, pain, among others, how it combats the oppressions suffered, as well as which structural and stylistic resources are used in its elaboration. In relation to the corpus, we selected the following poems that integrate the edition of the book Poesia (2022): “Patchwork” (2018), “golpe y otras cositas más” (2018), “algumas Brasileiras” (2022) and “I will abandon the exaggeration” (2018). Finally, as a theoretical foundation, we turn to the studies of Angela Davis (2016), Judith Butler (2019), Vilma Piedade (2017), Audre Lorde (2020), Danielle Magalhães (2020), Lélia Gonzales (2020), Kimberlé Crenshaw ( 2002), among others and others. In terms of results, we verified that the record of the physical body and its intersections, at the moment when it denounces pain and violence, elaborates other ways of (re)existing.
