In this three-part article, we intend to speculate about the conflicts between the notions of textual / literary genres and gender - using the text Law of Genre (DERRIDA, 2019) as a starting point- and the policies of the body thought by some segments of the literary critic. To do so, we draw a parallel between Stela do Patrocínio's "babble", transcribed in Reino dos Animais e dos Bichos é o meu nome (2001), and two of Tatiana Nascimento's writings: 07 notas sobre o apocalipse ou poemas para o fim do mundo (2019a) and Cuírlombismo Literário (2019b). The aforementioned texts serve as reflective means for us to discuss the place of that Strange Institution called Literature (DERRIDA, 2014), a space which is not only about liberation, but also about the reproduction of stereotypes, as shown by studies carried out by researcher Regina Dalcastagnè (2012, 2018) on contemporary Brazilian criticism and literary production. We put emphasize, therefore, in line with The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House (LORDE, 2019) and in dialogue with bell hooks (2019), on the need to think of new modes for the literary criticism discourse which would act from an understanding of elements such as race, class and gender.
