CLARICE LISPECTOR’S NARRATIVE IN THE WILD HEART OF BRASIL IN THE 20th CENTURY: SOME SOCIOPOLITICAL ASPECTS

Abstract

The aim of this paper consists on a brief analysis about Clarice Lispector’s literature, mainly on her chronicles “Mineirinho” (1962) and “Carta ao Ministro da Educação” (1968), followed by her novella A hora da estrela (1977) and also two of her most known short stories: “Felicidade clandestina” (1971) e “A bela e a fera ou a ferida grande demais” (1977). Once Clarice Lispector’s literary work is vast and recognized for its diversity of themes, we focus this analysis on the social and political aspects observed on her literary narratives. So analyzing Clarice Lispector’s literature focusing on its sociopolitical aspects is relevant once frequently these kind of aspectos are put aside in most of  literary analysis written about her work. As a theoretical basis, we used Candido (2000), Lucas (1970), Hobsbawm (1995), Bauman (2015) e Heller (2016) among others.
