The study aims to understand how the discourses articulated by these three lesbian women align with the discursive formations that uphold monogamous and heteronormative relationships in cinematic media, while observing how these discursive practices produce meanings regarding the legitimacy of LGBTQIAPN+ relationships. The research is grounded in the concepts of discursive formation, ideology, and significant materiality to investigate how language not only represents but constitutes reality, shaping ways of relating. The analysis of discursive sequences reveals that the series initially appears to challenge heteronormative norms and explores non-monogamy, especially through the polyamorous relationship of the three characters. However, this trajectory is predominantly examined through Alice’s narrative, as she shifts from advocating for non-monogamy to reaffirming monogamy. Thus, beyond examining how lesbian women articulate non-monogamy, the research also investigates how these subjects are represented in cinematic media, with an emphasis on The L Word: Generation Q. Finally, the study discusses the role of media in reproducing hegemonic meanings and constructing gender and sexuality identities, highlighting the contradictions and limitations embedded in the discourse of representation.

In this context, this research undertakes a comparative study of the novels On the wall of our house (2024), by Ana Kiffer, and The endless body (2019), by Claudia Lage, investigating how these works elaborate experiences marked by historical traumas and gender-based violence through narrative strategies that articulate memory, trauma, investigation, and writing. The central aim is to understand how the narrative voices construct quests — for traces, documents, gaps, and remnants — that confront official history and its mechanisms of erasure, bringing forth forms of remembrance that resist factual linearity and interpretive closure. The focus of this study therefore falls on experiences intrinsically related to the feminine — highlighting the marks of gender violence, silencing, and the inscription of trauma in the body and in language — observed in the formal and ethical choices of narration. This is a qualitative, interpretive, bibliographic study, based on the reading and analysis of the corpus in dialogue with the theoretical framework presented. Concepts of history, trauma, and memory draw on studies by Seligmann-Silva (2000; 2022), Halbwachs (2023), and Figueiredo (2024; 2025) to discuss modes of narration, the tensions between remembrance and forgetting, and the ethical implications of saying. Drawing on readings such as Rago (2013), Zolin (2009), Xavier (2019), and Woolf (2022), the study sought to understand contemporary women’s writing as it constructs the narrative account as an ethical space for reflecting on experience and the past. In light of this, with theoretical contributions from Barthes (2017), Vecchi and Di Eugenio (2020), Cury and Padilha (2024), Fiuza (2014), among others, the final section sought to identify how the two authors mobilize metalanguage in their works as a mean of reflecting on and rearticulating the traumatic past. The hypothesis advanced is that, by shifting the center of narration toward historically marginalized experiences, these novels reconfigure the archive and expand the possibilities for articulating the past, turning writing into a critical practice of resistance and a reopening of memory.

The study problematizes the representation of the character in comparison with other historical and literary discourses that portray him, as well as the literary language strategies mobilized in the resignification of this figure and the novel’s positioning toward coloniality. With this purpose, the general objective of the investigation was to examine the narrative strategies involved in the resignification of the historical character, establishing a dialogue between the novel and the autobiography Historia de la Monja Alférez (1838), in order to observe how coloniality is inscribed in the constitution of the text. To this end, authors such as Palermo (2019), Bhabha (1998), Quijano (2005a), Lugones (2020), Butler (2018), and Braidotti (2000) were essential to the analysis of the work. Thus, this is a decolonial study of a qualitative-interpretive nature which, through a bibliographic review, examines dissident gender protagonism. As a result, we understand that Las niñas del naranjel (2024) reinscribes the character elsewhere, highlighting the importance of transculturation and eco-affectivity in the constitution of an existence that challenges and displaces colonial constraints.

Taking Botero’s works as its central axis, the research adopts a comparative perspective to examine the cultural legacy of European and Latin American interpretations of Dante’s poem. Since its publication in the fourteenth century, the Comedy has constituted one of the foundations of the Western Christian imaginary, influencing not only literature but also the visual arts. In this sense, the present study aims to analyze how Botero incorporates, transforms, and updates elements of the poem, while also investigating points of convergence and divergence in relation to the medieval work. Throughout the dissertation, European reinterpretations such as those by Geoffrey Chaucer, Johannes Stradanus, William Blake, Gustave Doré, and Salvador Dalí are mobilized in order to highlight continuities and shifts from the original work. Methodologically, the research establishes comparisons between the pictorial and literary universes of the two authors. It emphasizes interartistic dialogue, considering the distinct languages of literature and painting, as well as the historical and cultural frameworks that permeate the works. This approach allows for the inclusion of other artistic productions that enter into dialogue with those of Dante and Botero. To this end, a bibliographical survey and literature review of the authors and their works were conducted in order to understand how this literary influence crosses the boundaries of time and space, shaping artistic production in different periods and cultures. The theoretical framework articulates studies in comparative literature based on the works of Eduardo Coutinho (2003, 1994), Leyla Perrone-Moisés (1990), and Tania Carvalhal (1991). Reflections on intertextuality draw upon the works of Julia Kristeva (1978), Tiphaine Samoyault (2008), and Laurent Jenny (1979). Our studies on Dante are grounded in the writings of Erich Auerbach (2022, 1976), Jorge Luis Borges (1982), Robert Hollander (2001), and George Holmes (1981). To discuss myth and the religious imaginary, the works of Mircea Eliade (1992) were essential, while the writings of Mikhail Bakhtin (1987) guided the reflections on the grotesque. Analyses of Fernando Botero’s work were supported by the studies of Juan Carlos Botero (2012) and Christian Padilla Peñuela (2018). The formulations on sin and punishment by Saint Augustine (2020) and Kierkegaard (2010) were also fundamental to the development of this research. Finally, this study seeks to reflect on the importance of Dante’s work in shaping Western artistic and cultural tradition and on its continued relevance as a reference that inspires visual artists such as Botero.
