Entre cartas e crônicas: o não pertencimento na escrita literária de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

The present monograph is interested in a closer look at the chronicle, Pertencer, by Clarice Lispector, found in the collection, A Descobrimento do Mundo (1999), and the naturalization letter sent to Getúlio Vargas, published in the book, Correspondências (2002). The choice of these genres is due to their versatility and because they have an autobiographical character of the author, thus demanding a certain personality. The studies and analyzes iam to emphasize, especially, Clarice's intimate universe and the possible causes that led the writer to present the feeling of not belonging. The survey of his literary panorama made possible the approximation with psychoanalysis, with this, it was possible to build an interpretive basis for the sensations of displacement and degradation of a being in the absence of the support of the other. The work was prepared from bibliographical research, in which works dealing with the proposed theme were consulted. As theoretical reference Nádia Batella Gotlib (1995), Benjamin Moser, (2009), Olga Borelli (1981), were used, who reinforce Clarice's personal journey; Benedito Nunes (1976), and Antônio Cândido (1977), who are critical voices about his works; Sartre (2013), and Bakhtin (1992), who expose their procedures regarding life in society and the subjects involved, among other authors who supported the enrichment of this research. The desire to belong was a guideline at all stages of Clarice Lispector's life, who felt she was delegitimized. Thus, to give meaning to her existence, the word was essential: literature allowed her to meet herself, she recognized herself in the field of letters, writing embraced the search for her self- knowledge, and when talking about herself, the author also speaks of all who seek their essence
