SUMMARY:

Owing to the transgression of the works and life of the São Paulo writer Hilda Hilst (1930-2004), this dissertation discusses how the rewritings of the works and public images of Hilst took place in the brazilian literary field, via edition. To do so, we rely on the perspective of André Lefevere (2007) that the editing process are efficient rewriting mechanisms, which are often motivated by personal, ideological and/or market issues. Our methodology involved mapping and analyzing all edition of printed books exclusively authored by Hilst published from 1950, when Hilda released her first book, until the 2021 reissues. Our corpus encompasses one hundred and five volumes, from first editions, reissues and translations/publications abroad. As a methodological strategy, these editions were grouped and analyzed from what we identified as four major periods of rewriting of Hilst's works and public images: between 1950 and 1989; between 1990 and 2000; in the 2000s; and from 2010 to 2021. We sought, in the first two periods, to identify the influence of the writer’s personal motivations on the editorial choices of her books so that, in the following periods, we could contrast the reissues with these scenarios. The investigation was based on the paratexts of the editions, according to Gérard Genette (2009), focusing on the peritexts of the books, but also using epitexts (such as interviews, correspondence etc.) in search of evidence. From these elements, we seek to point out the main motivations for the rewritings, visualizing how Hilst’s collection and her images were appropriated according to different rules, also considering the logic of the literary and editorial fields, mainly from Pierre Bourdieu (1996a; 1996b; 2003; 2004; 2018a; 2018b) and José Muniz Jr. (2012; 2019). Additionally, to analyze the first editions of the books, we also based ourselves on discussions about women in the literary and publishing fields, according to Regina Dalcastagnè (2012; 2021), Constância Lima Duarte (2017; 2019; 2020), Ana Elisa Ribeiro (2020a; 2021; 2022), Luciana Borges (2013), among others, as well on the reflections on symbolic violence, according to Bourdieu (2012), editorial gender violence, according to Micheliny Verunschk (2017), and feminist praxis, according to Marta Simó-Comas (2019). In our investigations, we verified that, in the first two analyzed periods, the rewritings of Hilst's works and public images were greatly influenced by the writer herself and, especially in the editions published by Massao Ohno Editor, there is a more transgressive approach than in the others. In other periods, rewritings were motivated by a predominance of ideological and/or market issues. Thus, we conclude that the rewritings of Hilst's works and images via editing were impacted, in addition to the author and her heir(s), by the publishers’ actions closer to the symbolic or economic pole, which influenced in the choices adopted not only in relation to which books were (re)edited, but in the way the (re)editing took place. Finally, this work is also composed of a Catalog of Editions, presented in Appendix A, which contains information that is more detailed and photographs of the editions of the books studied in our corpus.
