In the cavity of the rock: the post-philosophy of Clarice Lispector

“In the cavity of the rock: the post-philosophy of Clarice Lispector” is a study published exclusively in electronic format and available only here. Upon reading it, readers are transformed into enchanted and frightened explorers, facing the Clarice cave– or literary work–which, by its very nature is ferocious, slippery, does not allow itself to be taken in its entirety. Divided into twelve chapters, Roberto Corrêa dos Santos passes through Clarice’s books and manages to not repeat what at this point is already known from what literary criticism of the last decades has endeavored to examine.

Clarice Lispector’s thinking literature

In this video class, working from the category of “thinking literature”, professor Evando Nascimento explains how thinking and writing are indissociable acts in the work of Clarice Lispector.

Based on the category of “thinking literature”, the professor, writer and essayist Evando Nascimento gives a class on the work of Clarice Lispector, focusing on how she relates the narrated elements and the reflections proposed in her texts. 

In this talk from 2017, recorded exclusively for IMS Rio de Janeiro’s Clarice Lispector website, Nascimento turns his attention to beings separated from the “adult world”: children, animals and objects apparently without importance that, even so, are able to awaken the philosophy in Clarice’s work, joining the act of thinking to the narrative fact.
