Abstract:
The trilogy of Ana Paula Maia, composed of Entre rinhas de cachorros e porcos abatidos, O trabalho sujo dos outros and Carvão animal describes a group of characters set in a space characterized by subordination, humiliation and social exclusion. Through pulp writing, Ana Paula Maia presents a series of abject images whose theme a pulp of blood, animals, violence and sewage. Priced out of the status quo, these inhabitants of the society underground, living as scrap, waste their lives doing the dirty work for others. Brutalized and objectified, these marginal identities have fun hanging pigs in hooks or contemplating dogs tearing each other up. These men – of – baiting expect, under a sweltering suburb, the fleshy part of real that is woven under the aegis of mangled rest of the everyday: the pieces of bodies, pigs, dogs, hopes.
