Resumo: This article presents a critical reading of the novels Parable of the Sower (2018) and Parable of the Talents (2019) by the African-American author Octavia E. Butler, focusing on the analysis of the different representations and experiences of marginalized bodies in these dystopic productions. In the context of these narratives, it is understood that marginalized bodies are those who suffer most from the effects of an unstoppable capitalist exploitation, a climate crisis with no precedents and the inability of government administration. This category includes bodies of different races, genders, ages and others. The theoretical support used comprises mainly notions of body exposed in the works A sociologia do corpo (2007), by David Le Breton, Microfísica do Poder (1998), by Michel Foucault and Changing Bodies in the Fiction of Octavia Butler: Slaves, Aliens, and Vampires, by Gregory Hampton (2010).

Butler, com foco na análise das diferentes representações e experiências de corpos marginalizados nessas produções distópicas. No contexto dessas narrativas, entendem-se corpos marginalizados como aqueles que mais sofrem pelos efeitos de uma exploração capitalista desenfreada, de uma crise climática sem precedentes e da incapacidade de gerência do governo. Nessa categoria, incluem-se corpos de diferentes raças, gêneros, idades, entre outros. O suporte teórico utilizado compreende principalmente noções de corpo expostas nas obras A Sociologia do Corpo, de David Le Breton (2007), Microfísica do Poder, de Michel Foucault (1998) e Changing Bodies in the Fiction of Octavia Butler: Slaves, Aliens, and Vampires, de Gregory Hampton (2010).UFSC2023-03-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/8827610.5007/2175-8026.2023.e88279Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 76 No. 1 (2023): Resignifying Critical Approaches in Literature, Film, and Cultural StudiesIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 76 n. 1 (2023): Resignifying Critical Approaches in Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/88276/52717Copyright (c) 2023 Eduardo Marks de Marques, Lisiani Coelhohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoelho, LisianiMarques, Eduardo Marks de2023-03-07T15:31:20Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/88276Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2023-03-07T15:31:20Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
