While the cariocas, residents of Rio de Janeiro, prepare for the long holiday weekend in honor of Black Consciousness Day, St. Peter’s College, at the University of Oxford in England, is promoting a turbo-charged schedule for November 17-18 in honor of Clarice Lispector, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her death.
Organized by Professor Claire Williams, the conference After Clarice: Lispector’s Legacy will gather the greatest experts of the work of the author of The Passion According to G.H. to discuss a wide range of topics.
By counting on academics who translated Clarice’s works, the conference aims to shed light on the different perspectives of translators into various languages, a topic that will lead to much debate.
Artists who have interpreted Clarice, personage or work, will not be left out. Gathering professors from Berlin to Beijing, including scholars from the University of Minho and the University of Ceará, and, of course, counting on several in-house professors, After Clarice will also hear specialists with respect to the editorial policies around the work of the honored author– not losing sight also of Clarice Lispector, the newspaper chronicler, who wrote to earn a living.
“To write is to shine,” Otto Lara Resende affirmed in the profile he created of the writer. Yes, Clarice will indeed shine in the English autumn at Oxford.

A little known concept in Portuguese, unediting is less a theory and more a practical way to support complex publishing cases, such as the publication of A Breath of Life, a posthumous novel by Clarice Lispector organized by Olga Borelli. The aim of unediting is to undo the illusion of transparency that the ready, finished, and linear book, with a minimally stabilized narrative, conveys to readers.

Benjamin Moser, one of the most significant biographers of Clarice Lispector, said in an interview that one of his goals in writing Why This World, published in the United States and translated into Portuguese as Clarice, uma biografia, was to make space for a theme rarely explored by literary critics, commentators, and biographers: the writer’s “Judeity.” Most tend to limit themselves to reflecting on her “Brazilianness,” “as if one had to choose between being Jewish and being Brazilian.”

The frequent allusion to domestic servants in the urban environment of her chronicles demonstrates what is a reality for many middle-class families in the country: incorporated into the intimate environment of the home in the condition of a “domesticated outsider”, the domestic servant constitutes the most lasting and personal relationship that a member of the middle class allows themselves to establish with poverty.
