Resumo
This thesis analyzes the critique of and resistance to patriarchal violence in the poetry of Leila Míccolis from 1965 to 2013. Adopting a feminist and interdisciplinary approach, it investigates how her poetic work operates as a form of denunciation and confrontation of gender-based structures of domination, particularly within affective and familial relationships. The corpus comprises poems from the following books: Gaveta da Solidão (1965); Impróprio para menores de 18 amores (1976), co-authored with Franklin Jorge; Respeitável Público (1980); Mercado de escravas (1984), with Glória Perez; Só se for a dois (1990), with Urhacy Faustino; De 4 (1990), with Glória Perez, Marçal Aquino, and Ona Gaia; Sangue cenográfico (1965–1997); Literatura Século XXI (1998); and Desfamiliares (2013). All of these works are included in the anthology Desfamiliares: poesia completa de Leila Míccolis (1965–2012), published in 2013. These texts are examined through the lens of literary and socio-philosophical theories by authors such as Theodor Adorno, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, Silvia Federici, bell hooks, and Rita Segato, proposing a critical reading of poetic discourse as both representation of and resistance to the symbolic and material forms of patriarchal violence. From this perspective, the study highlights Míccolis’s contribution to the construction of Brazilian feminist poetry—still marginalized within canonical literary criticism. While she is known for her involvement in the marginal poetry movement of the 1970s and for employing eroticism as a form of protest, her incisive critique of patriarchy and authoritarian affective dynamics remains underexplored. This research seeks to fill that gap by foregrounding the political and transgressive dimensions of her poetry, which disrupts normative models of subjectivity and opens a space for reflection on the manifold forms of violence that permeate women's everyday lives. In times of social and political regression, her voice endures as both urgent and necessary. The thesis concludes that, for its critical force, acerbic humor, and thematic depth, Leila Míccolis’s oeuvre constitutes a landmark in Brazilian feminist literature and warrants broader critical recognition.
