ÁGUA VIVA: UM ROMANCE LÍRICO DE CLARICE LISPECTOR

In Água viva, text of Clarice Lispector, published in 1973, stays evident the encounter of the poetry with the fiction prose, forming a unity. This article aims to investigate how this encounter occurs and to demonstrate the ways by which the poetry interlaces with the fiction narrative, in other words, how the process of fusion of the categories of the narrative with the lyric modes occurs, resulting in the hybridism of the narrative genre, in the lyric novel. In fact, the narrative categories, in the end, surrender to the appeals of the lyric poetry, making the work hybrid. Inspired in the existentialist´s theories of Martin Heidegger and of Jean-Paul-Sartre, the Lispector´s text undertakes a questioning concerning the existence, trying to understand the human condition. Themost intimate questionings and the deepest emotions, belonging to the abysmal part of the ‘dasein’, can not be expressed by the common speech. The characters, in the impossibility of express, by the use of common words, their existential anguish, utilizes a language permeated by the own resources of the poetry, trying to embrace all the aspects of their subjectivity. The characters assume, then, a poetic-lyric discourse, highly suggestive. It is there that the prose allows to be invaded by the poetry and it is how occurs the establishment, in the text, of the union between prose and poetry. The literary overtakes thereby the common discourse and configures itself in an artistic speech. To make possible the work of analysis, some theorists of the matter are convoked such as Ralph Freedman and Rosa Maria Goulart, as other studious of Lispector´s work.

Um Narrador “Quase” Oral

O propósito deste artigo é identificar marcas do narrador de tradição oral na obra literária Quase de verdade, de Clarice Lispector, destinada ao público infanto-juvenil. Como âncora teórica, deteve-se, especificamente, no narrador da tradição oral defendido por Walter Benjamin (1994), e que se encontra na iminência de desaparecer. Observou-se que o cão Ulisses, narrador da produção literária clariceana, selecionada para este estudo, apresenta diversas características da oralidade, culminando assim em evidente dialogismo com as especificidades do narrador benjaminiano.
