Tornar-se: uma apredizagem poética pelos romances de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

"The most pressing need for a human being was to become a human being." The observation that is found in Uma aprendizagem ou O livro dos prazeres (1969), brings us to the question that guides this dialogue with Clarice Lispector's novel: the need to “become a human being”. It is possible to interpret this need to become what one is as the search that moves the entire gesture of the Brazilian author's writing. In that search, there is tension and the texture weaving of an original dialogue that the entirety of Lispector's work, especially through her novels, establishes with the roots of Western and Eastern thought. It is from this dialogue that the present work is designed, intending to interpret each of Clarice Lispector's novels as a manifestation of Poetic Learning, that is, as a possible path that the reader has at his or her disposal to understand himself ou herself into the question of the meaning of being. In this way, the work articulates an ontology that sets itself the search for the meaning of being as a creative movement that enables openings from/to other possibilities of achievement. At the same time, in the rehearsal of a hermeneutic and fictional plot that permeates each of the author's novels, the perception of the way in which such dynamic is intended for each human being (reader) is provided as an invitation to self-realization searches through language (logos).
