Time and passional states of the subject: recycling of the character Rita Baiana, by Aluísio de Azevedo, on the steampunk novel A Lição de Anatomia do Temível Dr. Louison, by Enéias Tavares
This paper discusses how the character Rita Baiana, originally from O Cortiço [The tenement] (1890), by Aluísio de Azevedo, is reread in A Temível Lição de Anatomia do Dr. Louison [Dr Louison’s Fearsome Anatomy Lesson] (2014), by Enéias Tavares, an alternative fiction book set in a retrofuturistic Brazil. My analysis is centred on the relation between the passage of time and the subject’s several passional states, in light of discursive semiotics theory. As Rita Baiana’s narrative course is marked by her nonconformity regarding socially accepted female standards, the perspective of the transgressive female is the major line conducting my study.

Science Fiction, climate urgency and the importance of inter-knowledge dialogue: interview with writer and researcher Ana Rüsche
This paper brings an interview with Ana Rüsche, writer and researcher, by Bruno Anselmi Matangrano, regarding science fiction as one of the literary categories that has been debating pressing matters the most. Especially interested in the climate crisis representation in contemporary literature, as well as the role science fiction plays on the the propagation of other forms of knowledge, Rüsche defines, through a transdisciplinary approach, concepts such as science fiction itself, ecocriticism, climate fiction and its relation to the geological and historical concept of anthropocene, along with its counterpart, "capitalocene". Rüsche also defends the autonomy and the importance of the literary production from the global South, particularly Brazil, through a decolonial perspective. She also comments on the relation between her studies and her fiction, a dialogue rarely explored in academia, despite its importance, between creative writing and academic research.

O filho mais velho de Deus e/ou livro IV: science antifiction in the conspiracy theories of the Mutarellian narrative
Analyzing the concept of science fiction in O filho mais velho de Deus e/ou livro IV is the main objective of this work. Mutarelli’s eighth novel narrates the trajectory of a protagonist who finds himself involved in a secret society. From the analysis of the novel and critical readings of conspiracy theories, it was questioned how this narrative configures itself as a scientific antifiction. Irony is a determining factor to place the work in this category, through the denialism evidenced in the present conspiracy theories.

Poetry, visuality and cubism in "Águaa-forte", poem by Manuel Bandeira
Analysis and interpretation of the poem “Água-forte”, by Manuel Bandeira, from the point of view of the relationships between poetry, visuality and cubist procedures for the pictorial composition of the image. “Água-forte” is strongly attached to modernism due to the fragmentary and multi-perspective representation of the depicted image. In that poem, the cubist technique produces a subtle cipher of the erotic nature and of the links between life and death inherent to the image which fascinates the poet.

Oswald de Andrade and Oficina Theatre: The Candle king on stage
This article aims to understand the form and content of the play “O Rei da Vela'' written by Oswald de Andrade, a pioneering author of Modernism, and played by Teatro Oficina, idealized by José Celso Martinez. In different historical contexts, Zé Celso and Oswald de Andrade innovated the theater: Oswald through the critical content in his theatrical text and Zé Celso through the creative form used to stage this text. We seek to comprehend how the Teatro Oficina used the Oswaldian text to broaden its critical spirit, by means of language and theatrical tools.

Italian-style Brazilian modernism: Brás, Bexiga e Barra Funda and La divina increnca
This work establishes approximations between the narratives Brás, Bexiga e Barra Funda, by Alcântara Machado (1927), and the parodic poems of La divina increnca (1924), a work published by Juó Bananére, pseudonym of Alexandre Ribeiro Marcondes Machado, inspired by everyday life in the city of São Paulo at the beginning of the last century. Both worked (not only) in newspapers and magazines during the efferverscence of modernism that brought countless innovations to Brazilian literature. Interestingly, both came from well-known families from São Paulo, with no direct link to the Italian community that was gradually settling in the city, and for which they felt a kind of fascination, especially for its language and mode of expression. The spontaneity of the characters that populate the small nucleus in São Paulo neighborhoods inspired the work of Alcântara Machado. In turn, Juó Bananére was enchanted by the delicious mix between the Portuguese and Italian languages, heard in nearby neighborhoods, which led him to rewrite parodies and satires of romantic and parnassian poems from Brazilian literature, and from other times and other literature, such as sonnets by Camões or Edgar Allan Poe.

Histories of science fiction: The Challenge of Periodization in "The History of Science Fiction", by Adam Roberts
The History of Science Fiction, by the British author and critic Adam Roberts, traces the beginnings of Science Fiction (SF) to Classical Antiquity. This critical review aims to analyze the author's historical premise given the challenge of periodization of this literary genre, contrasting Robert’s ideas with critical thoughts by Brian Aldiss, Gary Westfahl, James Gunn, Mark Bould, and Sherryl Vint, without forgetting Brazilian contribution in this matter by André Carneiro, Braulio Tavares, Raul Fiker and Roberto Causo, among others. Roberts' Anglocentric premise will also be analyzed, as he does not make visible the scientific contributions of Arab and Iberian civilizations, among others, although the importance of his work will be stressed in contemporary studies.

Authorship and Children’s Literature in O Diabo na noite de Natal, by Osman Lins
The present study will analyze the book O Diabo na noite de Natal, by Osman Lins, under the light of the notion of authorship, defended by the pernambucano writer himself in his book Guerra sem testemunhas (O Escritor, sua Condição e a Realidade Social) and by Maurice Blanchot, in the essays of The Book to Come. Furthermore, we will see how the osmanian incursion into children's literature meets the expectations of the audience for which it is intended, going back to the studies of specialists in this area as Maria José Palo, Maria Rosa D. Oliveira and Maria Antonieta Antunes Cunha, through writing and a creative language that entertains, educates and engages the little reader.

Literature and folklore: parallels in the construction of Brazilian national identity:parallels in the construction of Brazilian national identity
This paper aims at drawing parallels between literature and folklore studies in delineating Brazilian national identity. To exemplify, we adopt the Saci-Pererê myth to show the confluence of the concept of folklore, Brazilian culture, literature and orality in the creation of Brazilian national identity. The reflection outlined is anchored in the desire of contemplating the importance of myths in the construction of popular identity and in the way culture is resignified throughout human development in society.

Clarice Lispector's girls and the translation of childhood in her works
The article aims to present the female characters present in Clarice Lispector's texts to understand the childhood of girls in the 1920s - 1980s from the literary and historical perspective of Brazil in that period. The methodology used for the research was a review of literary texts where the protagonists are girls between eight and ten years old, located in Recife, the city where the writer lived during her childhood. For a deeper understanding of Lispector's literary construction, some theorists are considered as Alberto Manguel (2016), Maurice Blanchot (1969), Giorgio Agamben (2005, 2007, 2017). Georges Bataille (2016) and Judith Butler (2017) contribute to a philosophical understanding of self-writing and the importance of recovering memory, while Philippe Ariès (1973) makes some historical observations about the context of the time. The article results in an overview of how the girls, mainly Clarice Lispector herself, wanted their life as autonomous, independent individuals, but with the remorse of the social responsibility that imposed on girls and women a pattern of behavior that had distressed them since the end of childhood and early puberty, subjecting them to the imposed patriarchal and conservative system.

Anita Malfatti and the reflection on women’s place in art: An analysis of the children’s book Aconteceu às 19:22
This paper investigates the way in which the painter Anita Malfatti, one of the exponents of the Modern Art Week of 1922, resurfaces in the dramaturgical text for children, published in book form, "Aconteceu às 19:22" by Anna Carolina Longano. One hundred years after the modernist event, Malfatti and the girl Annita, an 8-year-old student of the 21st century, break the barrier of time, meet, and originate a poignant and sensitive reflection on the space of women in art.

Entre materialismo y espiritismo: la representación artística en El ruiseñor y el artista de Eduardo L. Holmberg
This article studies Eduardo L. Holmberg’s early short story, entitled “El ruiseñor y el artista” (1976) from the points of view of the problem of representation, of the conception of art embodied on various discourse levels, and of the ambivalence of meanings. The constant oscillation of border elements, such as life and death, wakefulness and sleep, visuality and verbality, materiality and transcendence finally reveals that the ultimate responsible for semantic inversions is writing itself, in correspondance with Wolfgang Iser’s concept of the fantastic.

INTERMIDIALITY IN SCIENCE FICTION: A STUDY ON THE ALIEN SERIES AND ITS FORMS OF TRANSPOSITION BETWEEN CINEMA, ROMANCE AND VÍDEO GAME
This work aims to analyze three narratives from the Alien franchise: the book Alien, originally published in 1979, by Alan Dean Foster; the film Alien – The Eighth Passenger (1979) and the videogame Alien: Isolation (2007). The analysis will be based on the concepts of intermediality and transmediality, in order to study the influences of one form of narrative on others. The central proposal uses as theoretical framework the texts of Irina Rajewsky (2005) and Claus Clüver (2011), about the concepts of intermediality. For the study of the Alien franchise, the text by Karin Littau (2011) is used, who proposes the Alien franchise as a multi-media and adaptive product, both as a narrative and as a cultural asset. Finally, the text by Jonathan Mack (2016) is used on the dialogue between cinema and videogames, and on how one medium has borrowed concepts from the other to adapt to new materialities. Based on these proposals, the work seeks to highlight characteristics that demonstrate the evolution of the franchise as a plurimedia product, by comparatively studying the texts, listing moments in which it is possible to perceive both a reference of one media in relation to the other, as a technical evolution that allows new ways to present the core elements of the Alien franchise to new audiences.

FAR BEYOND CYBERPUNK: REFLECTIONS ON RETROFUTURISTIC FICTION
This essay analyzes the rise and manifestations of Science Fiction subgenre called Retrofuturistic fiction. It rose in the 1980s from cyberpunk and the reflection on end of the century anxieties in relation to information systems advances and the worsening of social inequalities. Cyberpunk was then established as one of the most representative forms of Science Fiction at the end of 20th century. In the early 1990s, cyberpunk fostered the rise of steampunk – first retrofuturistic expression - that examines the impact of 20th and 21st century technological innovations in 19th century contexts. From steampunk, other retrofuturistic expressions were created, exploring the influence of future anticipations in the past of different ages. Within this scenario, this essay is justified by the absence of academic reflections in Brazil on the prominent situation retrofuturism has in 21st century Brazilian Science fiction.

Notes about the end of the Earth: elements of science fiction and horror in the literary novel "Metro 2033" and in the homonymous video game
"Metro 2033" (2010) is a novel published by Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky. As a result of its commercial and critical success it was later adapted into an electronic game of the same name. Both the novel and the game presentes, in their narratives a society ramified through the tunnels of Moscow subway after a nuclear holocaust. This study intends to conduct a comparative analysis between the book and the videogame, highlighting how science fiction and horror elements were adapted from the pages into the screen. Moreover, it is intended to explore how the narratives, objects of this study, discuss identity and alterity issues regarding the relationship between humans and monstrous figures that reside in the post-apocalyptic Moscow idealized by Glukhovsky. As theoretical support it will be used the propositions of researchers and critics such as Roberts (2018), Ginway (2015), Caroll (1999), Kristeva (1994), Hall (2008), among others.
