RESUMO:

The text presented for Qualification is a preliminary version of the Thesis in which we analyze two novels in the

 field of comparative literature: Onde andará Dulce Veiga, by the Brazilian writer Caio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996),

 published in 1990, and O beijo da mulher aranha (El beso de la mujer araña), by the Argentine writer Manuel Puig

 (1932-1990), initially published in 1976, in Argentina (the quotes used here are from the 7th edition translated 

into Portuguese, from 1981). The core of this research focuses on the perspective of transgressive bodies in

 literature, and also in cinema. They are bodies in transit because they move and resist in the literary space

 (re)affirming identities, revealing sexuality(ies) and exposing the complex and necessary discussion of gender(s),

 long before the pioneering studies published by Judith Butler, for example, and other academics who have focused

 on the plurality of issues of gender, sexuality and their literary representations.  Although there is a temporal

 distance between the analyzed novels, there is an intersection and confluence in/by the artistic language, by

 the identity similarity between the characters and, mainly, by the political context, social and cultural 

movements sewn into the narratives, namely: the Brazilian and Brazilian military dictatorships Argentina; 

socialism; (re)democratization; the transformations in music; the cultural space of the city of São Paulo; 

the imbrication of the languages of cinema and theater in literature and, finally, the protagonism of transsexual 

characters in the narratives. In this sense, when choosing the field of comparative study, it was necessary to

 define a critical scope of the two authors, capable of setting the tone in the debate on transgressive bodies.
