I am currently developing research on the Ancient Monastic Movement, Identities, Politics, Religion and Religiosities in the late antique world. Recently I received a Master's degree in History from the Federal University of Paraná (2022). I am graduated in History - Teaching Degree from the State University of Maringá (UEM) in 2019, where I was a member of the Institutional Program of Scholarship for Initiation to Teaching (PIBID/HISTORY) between 2017 and 2018 and served as a resident in the Pedagogical Residency Program (RP/HISTORY) between 2018 and 2019, both linked to UEM. From 2017 to 2019, I worked in two Scientific Initiation Programs (PIC/UEM) linked to the Group for Interdisciplinary Studies of Antiquity (STVDIA/UEM)edit

In the mainstay of the debates about the discursive disputes between Christianauthors in Late Antiquity, this dissertation aimed to investigate in the biography ofMelania the Younger, the existence of a monastic identity in the hagiographicproduction of the author. Gerontius, Melania's biographer, disciple and chaplain, triedto demonstrate in his work how Melania's actions could serve as an example of anascetic and defender of the orthodox faith for the reading public. The work wasconceived in the mid 450's, years after the death of the protagonist in a moment ofprofound political, social and religious transformations in the Christian Mediterraneancommunity. In this way, we sought to understand and contextualize the emergence ofthe monastic movement, the ecclesiastical institution, and the structuraltransformations of the Late Roman Empire. From these considerations and aided withthe concepts of identity, holy man, and hagiographic discourse, the discursiveconstruction of the author making Melania his heroine was perceptible. On the otherhand, the comparison of the information given by Gerontius with others found indifferent sources further evidenced the ideological apparatus of the author. Thus, thework, more than a recital of information about this intriguing woman, is also the bearerof a religious identity and a monastic model, concepts that went beyond our first ideasabout the narrative.

The purpose of this text is to reflect upon the biographical production of Palladius, bishop of Helenopolis (Galatia, 363-430) about the nuns Melania the Elder (340-410) and Melania the Younger (383-439). His work, Lausiac History, was intended for the imperial chamberlain of Theodosius II, Lausus (400-450), seeking to narrate the lives of important monastic
personalities whom Palladius met during his travels around the Mediterranean Sea. Among the 71 monks and nuns biographed, the author reserves at least 3 chapters to describe the acts of the two Melanias - grandmother and granddaughter - who served as a great inspiration for the aristocratic female monasticism in the passage from the 4th to the 5th century. Themale view of Palladius about the performance of the two women allows us to perceive what his model of
feminine performance in Christian monasticism was, especially in the relationships built between master and disciple.

Este trabalho possui o propósito de apresentar possibilidades de estudo e de pesquisa que encampamos na pesquisa de doutoramento. Disputas políticas e religiosas ocorridas durante os séculos IV e V no Império Romano Oriental possuem diversas faces que possuem um vácuo de estudos na academia Brasileira em especial quando tratamos dos movimentos em oposição ao Concílio de Calcedônia. O conselho refletiu intensos debates em torno da natureza de Cristo, mas que extrapolou os seus objetivos iniciais ao legislar sobre quais posições teológicas e políticas eram aceitas ou precisavam ser extirpadas. O movimento de insurreição que seguiu em virtude das decisões tomadas na assembleia foi marcado por uma rachadura na sociedade romana que podem ser percebidos na vida de Pedro, o Ibérico. Composta por seu discípulo João Rufo, a obra hagiográfica oportuniza um olhar renovado para esses fenômenos ocorridos no palco oriental do mediterrâneo na Antiguidade Tardia que aqui pretendemos discutir.
