Clarice Lispector: criar é desobedecer

Abstract

Our objective inside this work was to critically read several texts by Clarice Lispector, most of them short stories and novels, from which was possible to see the affirmation of the indiscipline as a creative strategy. Through the experience of transgression – specially to the disciplinary boundaries of literature and philosophy, and to the canonical rules of the language –, Lispector‟s writing presents indiscipline as a necessary condition to the release of life in its most potent and impersonal form. To the writer Clarice Lispector, therefore, literature is an extreme and risky practice because it demands the proximity to non-territorial intensities: the risk is to desire to step outside the common sense, what can be recognized; escaping from the language rules; living and writing intensely; capturing the reality of devir. The image of this line of thinking can be seen mostly in the short story “Os obedientes”, published in the book Felicidade Clandestina. The images related to the deepness and the surface inside this text can be related to a philosophical and conceptual creation concerning life and reality. Lispector‟s intensifying and interdisciplinary writing made it possible to create connection and encounters with some other thinkers, e.g., Roberto Corrêa dos Santos, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Roland Barthes, Suely Rolnik, Nietzsche, Alberto Pucheu and André Monteiro.
