O Amor - segundo Clarice Lispector

2016 
Em “Amor”, de Clarice Lispector, lemos a forma como a vida e a escrita se cruzam, enquanto modalidades de um encontro com o Outro no qual se suspendem os limites que separam a lei da excecao, o saber da alteridade, o real da ficcao. A sua premissa e a de uma cegueira concebida como experiencia, nao apenas da insularidade e do aban-dono, do sepultamento vivo – tal como ela e frequentemente pensada na tradicao literaria do Ocidente: “eu proprio o meu sepulcro, o meu tumulo, enterrado...”, diz John Milton, no seu Samson Agonistes – mas tambem, como em “Amor”, da alteridade e da transcendencia, na indecisao limitrofe que marca toda a relacao imaginaria. Em Agua viva, essa “cegueira” expressa-se pelo sentido de um “figurativo do inominavel”. Em “Amor” e assumida na relacao de identificacao da personagem principal com a figura de um cego. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Love – according to Clarice Lispector Abstract: In “Amor”, a short-story by the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, our paper reads the way life and writing intersect, as different modalities of an encounter with the Other, suspending the limits between law and exception, knowledge and otherness, fact and fiction. Its premise is a state of blindness conceived not only as an experience of abandonment and insularity, of a sepulchral livin, – often described in the Western literary tradition: “myself my sepulchre, a moving grave, buried...”, says John Milton, in Samson Agonistes... – but also, as in the case of “Amor”, of an otherness and transcendance which suppose the impossibility of a clear distinction, and are also proper of all imaginary relationship. In Agua Viva, that state of blindness expresses itself in a “figuration of the unnamable”. In “Amor” it is presented by the allegorical figure of a blind man the main character identifies with. Keywords: Law; Exception; Subject; Alterity; Vision; Blindness
