SUMMARY:

At the middle of eroticism and its derives – namely, death, literary and sacred writing –,
integrated into the autonomous space of literature, the object of this research is based:
the novel Avalovara (1973), by Osman Lins. Assuming that eroticism reveals itself as a
founding and cosmogonic force in the work, and that the sacred, death and literary
writing are bound to it, we will consider that the force of Eros puts the closed system of
servility to the test. These aspects related to eroticism are named by us as “derives”,
because derive represents the evolution of an initial object, and is capable of designate
precisely the intertwining between eroticism and the aspects listed by us. We will then
investigate how eroticism and its derives are configured and wattled, as a waste of
passions, considers that eroticism founds new organic possibilities in the text and the
desire and voluptuousness of language indicate unsuspected prominences and fictional
aspects and even fantastics. Therefore, we start from the point that "mystique and
eroticism are silent experiences, which only find an expressive correlate in literature."
(PELLEJERO, 2011, p. 224). The political dimension of the erotic will be considered in
this thesis, as Eros also sugests the transgression of interdicts proclaimed by the
censorship that compose the context in which the work is inserted. As a theoretical
basis, we will primarily use the essay work by Osman Lins (which casts light on his
fiction), The eroticism (1957), by Georges Bataille, as well as his Literature and evil
(1957), in addition to other relevant authors for our theoretical debate, such as Maurice
Blanchot (2011), Jean-Paul Sartre (2004), Severo Sarduy (1979), Roland Barthes (2004)
and Octavio Paz (1995). With our analysis, furthermore to investigating the contribution
of eroticism to new narrative possibilities, we intend to elucidate and consider relevant
aspects of the Pernambuco author's prose, as well as trends and processes dear to
contemporary literature. There are vivid aspects for understanding Lins work and also
literature as an autonomous space, as well Georges Bataille wanted, to be investigated
in this thesis. Therefore, we are interested in thinking about eroticism and its derives in
his non-submission to the weight of the instructions of the external world, as the desire
not to agree with the established order is evident throughout the work.
