This text is produced from the connection of the themes: the night, the darkness, countless and provocative specters, in addition to those historically excluded and relegated to the dimension of darkness - women, animals, their hybrids - and the dimensions of art and literature, spaces permissive to their echoes. We searched for images in the writing of Clarice Lispector and in the surrealist paintings by André Bresson and Salvador Dalí, constituting a set of spectra that motivated thoughts about Derrida's spectrology and about exclusion principles that lose strength with the suspension of the metaphysics of presence, allowing to see in the expressions of the nocturnal in the Gothic a positivation of the organic powers of the feminine and the animal.
