Memória, culpa e angústia nas narrativas de Alice Munro e Clarice Lispector

This study analyses two writers from different nationalities and cultures, the Brazilian Clarice Lispector and the Canadian Alice Munro, to demonstrate the common treatment that both writers give to the childhood theme. The central aim is to examine, with the support of Freud‘s psychoanalytic studies, how childhood is important to understand the writers‘ fiction, or when a narrative voice revisits experiences lived in that period, or when the narrative is dominated by a childlike voice. In both events, memory is the central element in this anamnesis process. We seek to prove that even when dealing with different cultures, it is possible to develop a comparative study to show similar strategies applied by the writers. The selected narratives show relevant information concerning the chosen theme and enable to reveal the mode of composition and the concept of literary creation of each author. The analytical study of the narrative categories, especially the narrator, time and space, will be examined to show how they influence on the construction of the theme. Other features will provide support for the analysis, such as internalized narrative, the open end, the constant temporal and spatial distortions, the use of contradictory figures of speech such as oxymoron, unusual metaphors and antitheses, the portrayal of a paradoxical world and the concern with existential questions, all of which are shared by the authors, in addition to the theme, which allow the comparative work

Em busca do sentido: uma análise das estratégias de processamento textual em O milagre das folhas, de Clarice Lispector

This text aims to elucidate the textual processing strategies that give meaning to chronicle "The miracle of the leaves", of Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). Therefore, it starts from the basic postulate that the meaning is not in the fabric or verbal imagery, but the meanings constructed from the elements of language that are there to meet with the reader (BRONCKART, 2009, p. 257). Justified this reading strategy, since the chronic Lispector reveals multiple meanings endowed with a language and dialogue. The text processing is discussed in terms of an audience potentially youthful element that assigns characteristics relevant to the understanding of the functioning of this type of text in relation to younger readers. To achieve the goal, we start from the assumption that chronic, being a literary text endowed with aesthetic validity, not only conveys a content, but recreates it, adding to it new meanings.

El género crónica en Clarice Lispector : Intervenciones del cuerpo de la escritura en el espacio público

Mediante este trabajo se realizará un primer abordaje que permita: analizar, en las crónicas de Clarice Lispector, la impugnación de la categoría de "autonomía literaria" y su inscripción en las producciones estéticas "híbridas" emergentes en un contexto sociocultural cercado por la dictadura militar; así como también, establecer la inscripción de la obra cronística y literaria de Clarice Lispector en el contexto amplio de los movimientos artísticos del 60 y 70 en Latinoamérica. A finales de 1960, en Brasil, la crónica sigue siendo el lugar privilegiado para precisar el problema de la heterogeneidad del sujeto literario. En ese espacio se produce el cruce de la doble autoridad ¨literaria y periodística en que se constituyó el discurso de la crónica finisecular Latinoamericana (Julio Ramos, 1989). Elaboración constante de su ars poética, con la escritura cronística Lispector avanzará en tanto "sujeto literario" sobre el dominio de lo público para convertir ese "exterior" en escenario heterogéneo donde el "interior poético" se despliega como discurso histórico, social, cultural y político plenamente válido
