Dissertação (Mestrado em Estudos da Linguagem) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/63044This master’s thesis leans over Marize Castro’s poetry collections Esperado ouro (2005) and Habitar teu nome (2011a), electing the desire as the theme of analysis due to its prominence within Castro’s poetic – particularly in the books selected. It introduces Marize Castro as a poet, journalist, researcher, and editor, and maps the existing literature on her oeuvre. Using a qualitative analysis backed by a literature review, this study investigates and characterises the depiction of desire in selected poems. The elements from which and with what the desire emerge, the way it is presented, and the relations it establishes within the texts are taken into account. The theoretical framework includes works by Adauto Novaes and Marilena Chauí in O Desejo (1995), contributing to etymological, philosophical, and psychoanalytical discussions. References for poems include Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant’s Dicionário de Símbolos (2015), Thomas Bulfinch’s O Livro de Ouro da Mitologia (2002), and Ana Gabriela Macedo and Ana Luísa Amaral’s O Dicionário de Crítica Feminista (2005). Moreover, the essayisticliterary reflections from Anne Carson (2022), Annie Ernaux (2022, 2023), Elizabeth Grosz (2015), Guilherme Gontijo Flores (2018, 2020), Hélène Cixous (2022, 2024), Marguerite Duras (2021), Octavio Paz (1982, 1984) and Roland Barthes (1981, 1987) also inform the analysis. The study concludes that desire in Castro’s poetry diverges from conventional sense, creating a new poetic landscape that structurally and semantically reinvents tradition. This dynamic 'creative creator' fosters movement and transformation. Desire is a curve to undergo.Acesso AbertoPoesia brasileira contemporâneaDesejoCriação literáriamasterThesisCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LINGUISTICA
