Through critical reading of contemporary experiments in literary historiography, the thesis Contemporary Literary Historiography: Crossed Experiences develops a theoretical model that reflects the expansion of the literary phenomenon and the production of multidisciplinary knowledge in the areas of Literary Studies and History. Considering the hybrid space occupied by literary historiography, which links scientific discourses and literary narratives in its writing, this study emphasizes the complex dynamics of the interactive processes among body, mind and ambience. In this perspective, the mismatch between the experimental creativity of current (literary) historiographies in their structural and thematic configuration and the proposal of theoretical repertoires attentive to the intersections of sensible perception and intelligible thought is evaluated. The historiographical experiments analyzed require an epistemological framework aligned with forms of knowledge traversed by sensitivities and intuitions, which guide the relationships between text and context, between history and literature, between observer and observed object. The experiments are investigated in view of the development of new tools that emphasize feedback processes between bodily affections, cognitive processes and situated experiences. This intersection of multiple knowledges and views, of ideas and affections in sensorial perception and rational reflection, finds support in proposals developed by António R. Damásio, among others, about the relations between body and mind in the field of neurosciences, in the conception of culture as hypertext presented by Stephen Greenblatt in the context of the ideology of New Historicism and the nonhermeneutic project of Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, opposing the hegemony of the culture of meaning to a culture of presence with an emphasis on the materiality of communication. In summary, this thesis, proposing a reflection in the interstices of body and mind, represents a timely contribution to an innovative and significant expansion of forms and strategies of knowledge construction in the area of Literary Studies, based on the multidisciplinary dialogue marked by the mediation between theoretical reflection and literary practice, which characterizes contemporary literary historiographies.
