A autoria, a paixão e o humano em Clarice Lispector

Abstract

This is a study of Clarice Lispector’s works, in dialogue with French philosophy (Foucault and Derrida), which seeks to analyze how Lispector develops the themes of authorship, human and passion. Thus, the books Água Viva and A Paixão segundo GH were specially analyzed in the discussion of authorship. The non-fiction texts (testimonies, interviews, film, video, intellectual production, and others) were also considered in this study especially for the exploration of the biographical aspects. We analyzed the circulation mode of the texts (fiction and nonfiction), and finally how to build esthetically fixtures of the author. Regarding the theme of the human, we analyze the reflections raised in the literature of this author, by focusing on the animal, man's relationship with animals, with the completely other, with the living. We verified which conceptions dialogue with Lispector’s literature, approaching the philosophical and the literary discourse. Jacques Derrida and Evando Nascimento’s formulations were used as a methodological reference, into dialogue with A Paixão Segundo GH and some tales by Onde estivestes de noite, some chronicles and tales by Lispector. Regarding the theme of passion in Lispector, we priorize A via crucis do corpo, Uma aprendizagem ou O livro dos prazeres. Finally, we show how these three themes (authorship, human and passion) are articulated in Clarice Lispector, configuring the construction of a thoughtful literature.
