Que seria do mundo visto pelo prisma da nuance, dos vestígios e dos murmúrios? E se a atenção recaísse sobre quem não tem nada diante de si além do deslocamento? Este livro provém de uma experiência coletiva, quando, em 2018, pesquisadores de todo o mundo se reuniram na Universidade de Jerusalém. O resultado é um conjunto tocante de aproximações que tentam recuperar o encantamento de uma língua chamada Clarice Lispector.
Composto por ensaios de alguns dos principais nomes da crítica literária atual, Um século de Clarice Lispector é, além de uma homenagem à autora em seu centenário, uma contribuição inestimável aos estudos claricianos contemporâneos e um retrato poderoso da diversidade de formas de adentrar os enigmas de uma escritora para quem o desconhecido é tão importante quanto aquilo que se sabe. Dividido em cinco partes que procuram contemplar diferentes aspectos da obra de Lispector, o volume é também um desdobramento do Colóquio Internacional: Cem Anos de Clarice Lispector, que teve lugar em fins de 2020, organizado pela Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas (FFLCH) da Universidade de São Paulo. Seus 24 ensaios nos mostram que o universo clariciano continua surpreendendo, ao proporcionar mil e um pontos de vista críticos. Cabe ao leitor desses textos construir o seu e continuar o movimento infinito de recepção e fruição de uma das maiores escritoras brasileiras de todos os tempos.
The role of art in Marcuse’s work has often been neglected, misinterpreted or underplayed. His critics accused him of a religion of art and aesthetics that leads to an escape from politics and society. Yet, as this volume demonstrates, Marcuse analyzes culture and art in the context of how it produces forces of domination and resistance in society, and his writings on culture and art generate the possibility of liberation and radical social transformation. The material in this volume is a rich collection of many of Marcuse’s published and unpublished writings, interviews and talks, including ‘Lyric Poetry after Auschwitz’, reflections on Proust, and Letters on Surrealism; a poem by S...
Fluxo-Floema is a detective novel of sorts--pornographic, scatological, and spiritual--that ultimately references the failure and success of writing. It's about vocabulary, astrology, dramaturgy, science, a story within a story within a story. It's a celestial map to social interaction and the failure of connection, a crafted examination of the distortions of religion and piety. Here we, the reader, visit nonsense, pathos, violence, and the flights of fancy of human coexistence.
Passionate Fictions was first published in 1994. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. "Clarice Lispector is the premiere Latin American woman prose writer of this century," Suzanne Ruta noted in the New York Times Book Review, "but because she is a woman and a Brazilian, she has remained virtually unknown in the United States." Passionate Fictions provides American readers with a critical introduction to this remarkable writer and offers those who already know Lispector's fiction a deeper understanding of its complex workings.
Dizem que todos comemoram o natal, no entanto, apesar de todas as cidades estarem enfeitadas, shoppings e supermercados personalizados com as cores natalinas, cada um tem um ponto de vista diferente sobre a "noite feliz". Para alguns, é um momento religioso, para outros um grande encontro em família. Uns encarnam o espírito natalino e tratam a noite como a mais importante do ano. Outros veem a noite como apenas mais uma, indiferentes até mesmo aos apelos comerciais, enquanto uma parcela da sociedade vê o natal como uma noite infeliz. Este livro reúne perspectivas diferentes sobre o natal.
Four beguiling tales for children of all ages. A surprising new facet of Clarice Lispector’s genius “That woman who killed the fish unfortunately is me,” begins the title story, but “if it were my fault, I’d own up to you, since I don’t lie to boys and girls. I only lie sometimes to a certain type of grownup because there’s no other way.” Enumerating all the animals she’s loved—cats, dogs, lizards, chickens, monkeys—Clarice finally asks: “Do you forgive me?” “The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit” is a detective story which explains that bunnies think with their noses: for a single idea a bunny might “scrunch up his nose fifteen thousand times” (he may not be t...
This outstanding volume assembles some of Marcuse’s most important work and presents for the first time his unique syntheses of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and critical social theory. It includes a comprehensive introduction by Douglas Kellner, Tyson Lewis and Clayton Pierce, which places Marcuse’s philosophy in the context of his engagement with the main currents of twentieth century philosophy.
Considering Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector’s literature as a case study and a source of theory, Writing by Ear presents an aural theory of the novel based on readings of Near to the Wild Heart (1943), The Besieged City (1949), The Passion According to G.H. (1964), Agua Viva (1973), The Hour of the Star (1977), and A Breath of Life (1978). What is the specific aesthetic for which listening-in-writing calls? What is the relation that listening-in-writing establishes with silence, echo, and the sounds of the world? How are we to understand authorship when writers present themselves as objects of reception rather than subjects of production? In which ways does the robust oral and aural c...
