Eroticism, Violence, Body, CityAbstract
The novels A fúria do corpo by João Gilberto Noll and O rei de Havana by Pedro Juan Gutierrez present an intense relation between the characters’ bodies and the spaces about their respective cities, Rio de Janeiro and Havana. In these contacts the bodies work as an identity reference, intermediated by frequent sexual relationship and various kinds of violence. This movement seems to find resonance at the incessant wandering in the cities, indicating a meaningful displacement and disrupting bounders.References
