Love(s) in Clarice and Rui Torres

Abstract

This article, attempts to demonstrate one of several forms of dialogue between the portuguese literatures, proposes an anlysis of the short story Amor, by Clarice Lispector and the poem Amor de Clarice, by Rui Torres. Considering that the poem is from of a preexisting text, or an “hypotext”, as defined by Gennete, analyse these productions from the perspective of intersemiotic translation according the works of Julio Plaza and Claus Clüver, since these theorists treat the “translation” less as a transfer of meaning from the original, which should be subordinate to it, an activity which involves creating thus transforming. Also, the Torres’s (re)wrinting proposes, as a poet, a way to make the contemporary literary criticism. Thus, this study will develop towards analyzing how text elements clariceano were (re)produced, (re)created, transformed in the poem Rui and how a work of twenty-first century can shed new questions, new perspectives and new reflections to text in the last century.
