SUMMARY:

Intersections between Geography and Literature enable a geographic path that reveals geopoetic experiences rooted in the affective bond of existence in the world. Literature, far from being an escape from reality, acts as a plural writing that unites experience and creation, allowing for the construction of a reality in which the author's subjectivities reveal spatial and social experiences. From this perspective, a dissolution of boundaries occurs between the factual and the fictional, recognizing the literary work as a plane of composition and human expression that represents the social through aesthetics. The city landscape, beyond its materiality, gains potency within narratives by elucidating everyday life and constituting an imaginary of individual and collective perceptions. This thesis investigates the city landscape and its spatial practices from a Black and racialized perspective, based on the analysis of literary representations grounded in dynamics of resistance, memory, subjectivities, identity, and culture. The city ceases to be a mere backdrop to become the foundation of a spatio-racial investigation, acting as the concrete symbol of segregation, housing, and the creation of urban paths and trajectories. This phenomenon is not only spatialized as an urban landscape but is determinant in the configuration of Black identity in Brazil, connecting the inhabitants' corporealities to the collective memories that traverse space. The scope lies in the analysis of novels by contemporary authors: O beijo na parede and O avesso da pele (Jeferson Tenório), Solitária and Meridiana (Eliana Alves Cruz). The theoretical framework is structured upon dialogues between Humanistic-Cultural Geography, the Phenomenology of Language (grounded in Paul Ricoeur), and studies and research on race and identity within Geography. It seeks to understand the contribution of literary narratives to the apprehension of the relationship between urban landscape and black identity, proposing ways to racialize studies on the human experience in the city.
