Artes comparadas e paratextualidade: gotas rubras em água viva, de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

This dissertation is to analyze the work Água viva, by Clarice Lispector, while at the same time representing the broad literary production of this Brazilian writer. Hence, the choice of Água viva arises from de fact that this work was already acknowledged by others at time of its literary production, thus reaching the pinnacle of her particular art project. This was done to match the encounter between dissimilar artistic practices, seen in the same square or disjunctively, in the analysis of both poetic writing and producing plastic-visual. Therefore, the focus of this work is based on looking at the semi discursive analysis of comparative literature, and links to mediate between factors of producing artistic senses which are often confluent and/or iridescent. As the very “jellyfish” – being both invertebrate and translucent – seeks to articulate an alternative and methodological theory of itself; likewise, the literary comparative is an attempt to enhance the object of analysis ingrained in the fabric similar of a design that configures and features it. Drawing on this perspective, this work explores the formation of feelings within a literary work of varied meanings and a rare and unusual project of thin crimson drops and abandoned pages, thus resulting in a kaleidoscopic mosaic reading: Água viva itself.
