Ironia em romances de Clarice Lispector: uma leitura de A Hora da Estrela e A Paixão segundo G. H.

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the literary analysis of ironic language in the works of Lispector, The Passion According to GH (1964) and The Hour of the Star (1977). This will occur by studying the speeches of the characters, the narrative construction of the works described here, as well as our theoretical framework. There are some mentions the ironic aesthetics in literary production Lispector, but without that this topic is presented in the foreground by the criticism which deals with the study of the works of the writer. This research brings something new about Lispector literary writing when it takes irony as the foreground. The theoretical approach is supported in studies of philosophy and irony, from Kierkegaard (1991), Muecke (1995), Hutcheon (2000) among others, that establish a relationship between the ironic and non-ironic, highlighting the concept of irony of Platão until today. The stylistic irony developed by Paiva (1961) is strictly based on the publication of a series of articles developed by Henri Bergson in Laughter. In Contributions of stylistic irony, Paiva (1961), relies on Bergson to classify the major types of irony (pure satire, disfemistica, restrictive and skirting) and climates represented by shades (naïve, rhetorical, sacred, scientific and family ). In addition to contributions on the concept of irony, relevant studies on Lispector's work will be considered, specifically in the two works The Hour of the Star and The Passion According to GH, including, Nunes (1969), Sá (1979), Sant'Anna (1984), Coutinho (1997), Bedasee (1999), Kadota (1999), Santos (2000), Iannace (2001), Montenegro (2001), Barbosa (2001), Rosenbaum (2002), Amaral (2005), Arguelho Souza (2006), Rodriguez Lima (2009), among other indispensable in the construction of this study. The work was divided into three sections with the first works the irony can bring to our readers an overview of its concepts through the ages by those who are part of our theoretical framework, eg, Hutcheon (2000). At this same point we start some considerations about the irony relating to the works analyzed, since we follow a line of comparative works by Lispector, which are discussed in more detail in later chapters, the second chapter designated to deal with The time of star and the third of The Passion According to GH, although this was first written that we chose to work initially.
