Some Notes on Natalia Borges Polesso’s Prose

Abstract

This article aims at analyzing the presence and the fictionalization of lesbianity in the bosom of the prose of the writer Natalia Borges Polesso. In light of the lesbian category as an analytical tool to reading and interpreting, whilst foregrounding a dialogue with other voices and productions, such as those of Monique Wittig, Adrienne Rich and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, I seek to embroider a text that is delineated on the pace of four movements, which portray the possibilities of reading, the creation of the narrative from a point of view, the inscription of lesbianity and the writing process as loci of reviewing that are perceived throughout the literary production of the author. I believe that the work of Natalia Borges Polesso has been contributing to the visibility of new dynamics of recognition and has shed light on paths where we may find other senses concerning lesbianities, genders and desires, due to the production of a prose that weaves plural meanings to our living experiences.
