Ficção científica como procedimento de resposta à cisnorma: terranos, alienígenas e seres ctônicos

Abstract

This doctoral thesis investigates science fiction as a proce- dure of response to cisnormativity, colonialism, and dominant ontoepistemic rationali- ties, through the creation of alien and chthonic beings that operate as agents of thought

and writing. Among them, the terranos— subterranean and symbiotic entities—are acti- vated as speculative operators capable of intervening in modes of existence and regimes

of representation. From their presence, the research proposes an embodied, fabulatory,

and contaminated form of writing that does not illustrate concepts but thinks with cha- racters, through non-normative bodies and languages that destabilize the boundaries

between theory and fiction. The methodology employed is deliberately alien: a writing protocol that blends essay, fiction, manifesto, and screenplay, refusing the traditional academic linearity. It is a practice of thought embodied in voices, images, and deviant

narratives, in which writing itself becomes a body in transmutation. In this context, ali- ens do not appear as figures exterior to the human, but as poetic technologies that re- configure the very notions of reality, time, language, and identity. The thesis engages

with authors such as Donna Haraway, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Castiel Vitorino Brasi- leiro, and Jota Mombaça, activating their thought not as citation, but as contagion.

More than representing or explaining the world, this research experiments with ways of

writing it from within its cracks, openings, and multiplicities—affirming delirium as me- thod, the body as language, and fiction as a tool for the creation of inhabitable worlds.
