A Descoberta do Mundo: um estudo dos textos jornalísticos de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

This research aimed to study the chronicles of Clarice Lispector, gathered in the book A Descoberta do Mundo, published in 1984, the result of seven years of publication of the writer for the Jornal do Brazil, between August 1967 and December 1973. From everyday situations involving people of daily cohabitation, the chronicles the author's open space to reflect about life and about other, because they touch in the pain and in the existential anguish, consequences of being in the world. In a similar exercise to a daily, Clarice Lispector brings to the pages of his chronicles a face little known, that deals day to day with their children, their servants, their friends; recalling past events, but also touches on issues such as women, happiness, well-being, the importance of family and the other excluded. In this way, it is possible to find chronicles that reaffirm the reflective tendency present in the Clarice Lispector of the short stories and novels, in which it was consecrated as hermetic and introspective.
