ANTROPOFANIAS NA OBRA DE CLARICE LISPECTOR: PERCURSO TEO-POÉTICO-FILOSÓFICO EM A MAÇÃ NO ESCURO

Abstract

Present work initiates with the understanding that a literary work establishes itself as cultural practice. It is constituted by incorporating textual layers and discourses of more varied origins, captured from the socio-cultural environment, engendering more complex texture from which multiple inter-discursive, interdisciplinary and inter-textual relations can be perceived. It considers literature as an ambient for discursive possibilities, complex multiple meanings and as a mean through which different forms of human existence are manifested. It also presents some readings of the literary work of Clarice Lispector, emphasizing the hermeneutic richness of vivid human beings. Finally, it makes a theological analysis of her work Maça no escuro . Extracts from the first chapter of Genesis are used along with the textual parts from Lispector s work to construct the dialogue. Bakhitin theory of conception, Maingueneau s discursivity, hermeneutic of Ricoeur and the existentialism of Kierkegaard are used as the theoretical base to discuss the construction of fictional man in the character Martin and his process of self reflection. Following the thematic course, which offers innocence to the fall and then from the fall the liberation this study concludes that in Lispector s work the concept of fall as decadence of human being is transformed, dialectically, in a leap, into the self consciousness, and liberation.
