Academic studies on Clarice Lispector continue to be developed at foreign universities. In 2017, a wide-ranging seminar was held at St. Peter’s College, at the University of Oxford, in which several aspects of the life and work of the writer were addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seminar \u201cAfter Clarice: Lispector\u2019s Legacy\u201d included professors, artists, and translators from different countries and disciplines, who discussed questions such as the author\u2019s Jewish origin, identity, class, race, and gender, in addition to the publication policies and marketing of new editions and their impact on readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the invited speakers, Paloma Vidal, from the University of S\u00e3o Paulo, presented the lecture \u201cLearning Spanish with Clarice,\u201d at the same table with Katrina Dodson, translator of the volume The Complete Stories<\/em>. For his part, Carlos Mendes de Souza, a professor from the University of Moinho, discussed the relation of Clarice\u2019s work to music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the talks were not restricted to the halls of the academy and will be collected into the book After Clarice: Reading Lispector\u2019s Legacy in the Twenty-First Century, <\/em>to be released in early 2019. <\/em>This will be the beginning of a series of events that will happen in the centenary of Clarice\u2019s birth, in 2020. As required by the traditional English university, the collaborators must turn in the studies by December 2018. The Moreira Salles Institute (IMS) will contribute with a text about the trajectory of the writer\u2019s archive, which today is shared between this institution and the Rui Barbosa House Foundation. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The conference and the publication were organized and edited by Adriana Jacobs and Claire Williams, who are both literature professors at the University of Oxford. The cover art was designed by Mariana Valente, Clarice\u2019s granddaughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on different angles and on a wide range of material \u2013 which besides literature includes journalism, interviews, and relations to music and to visual art \u2013, the volume thus seeks to critically acknowledge the place occupied by the writer (the first Brazilian to have her books published in the Penguin collection of modern classics) in 20th<\/sup> century Western literature. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Academic studies on Clarice Lispector continue to be developed at foreign universities.
