“That speaks the that will die”: the subordination setup in Clarice Lispector dramaturgy

Abstract

It's intense production of Clarice Lispector when the female character is a fundamental element of the text. The rules of the alleged moral holding the woman in patriarchal societies are constantly questioned in the fabric of Clarice from his novels, short stories, and even in her shy dramaturgy. Indeed, this study aims to reflect on the configuration of the female character that stars in the only text in dramatic genre of Clarice Lispector: The burnt sinful and harmonious Angels (2005), from the perspective of studies of subordination. The study draws on literature, using inductive method. Thus, as chosen theoretical framework, there is the essential contribution of Spivak (2010), to address the subaltern studies, as well as Beverley (2004) and Mignolo (2003). The analytical course regarding the drama will be anchored by the postulates of Magaldi (1998) and Roubine (2003). The work can fulfill its mission to inspire deep reflection on the oppressive influence of religious morality and patriarchal institutions, highlighting the ideological confrontation between the male and the female in the ideological voices in it. Clarice Lispector represent the subaltern as a historical subject, whose identity is constituted as an antithesis of a subject dominated, and seeks, in this piece in particular, bring reflections about the patriarchy that still lingers in modern times.
