Abstract: This article seeks to establish interfaces between the narrative changes occurring in the short story "Na profundeza do lago" by Itamar Vieira Júnior (2021), and thematic axes from cultural studies, such as traditional knowledge, institutionalized violence, and the environmental movement. The story unfolds as an immersion into the discoveries of the protagonist ("woman," unnamed), through which the internal conflicts of a teacher on vacation at her husband's farm can be measured. This work aims to engage in dialogue with the theoretical horizons of Vítor Manuel Aguiar e Silva (2007), Carlos Reis and Ana Cristina Lopes (2000), Guacira Lopes Louro (2013), Achille Mbembe (2018), Vandana Shiva (2024), and Maria Lugones (2020); and to examine passages from the story that highlight tensions between class, race, and gender, and indicate shifts, conflicts, and movements of anticipation. The research results in the expansion of themes relevant to critical potentialities of social interrelation; the valorization of experiences articulated to the Brazilian contextual reality; and the importance of the protagonists' awareness in the liberation and emancipation of their lives.
