UMA LINGUAGEM (ESCRITA) ESQUIZOFRÊNICA: A EXPERIMENTAÇÃO DE A PAIXÃO SEGUNDO G. H. DE CLARICE LISPECTOR

Abstract

Clarice Lispector stands out in Brazilian Literature, among many characteristics, for using a fiction speech which approaches subject’s interior aspects. This introspective survey, according to Benedito Nunes (1995, p. 13 – 14), is composed of interior monologues, digressions, episodes fragmentation, which “syntonize with artistic reality apprehension in modern fiction”. This kind of literary writing approach is very close to what James Joyce and Virginia Woof had already done. Stream of Consciousness can be a name for this procedure, but the goal of this study is to try to understand Clarice Lispector’s writing, specifically her book A Paixão Segundo G. H. (The Passion according to G. H.), published in 1964, through another point of view. G. H, main character, is destabilized by the contact with unusual meanings from an epiphany moment. She describes her loss of human configuration and immerses in a chaotic speech, a stream of impressions, digressions, deliriums and introspective monologues, what definitively detach the narrative. This dissertation looks for using the Schizoanalyze, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s proposal, trying the Schizophrenia, suggested by these two authors, on A Paixão Segundo G. H.’s lecture, since it’s possible to realize in protagonist’s acting an attempt to undo the addiction of human way of living, what also means to abandon the language which is organized inside a formal project of civilized expression. Since it’s not possible to stand without language, G. H. starts a search for a linguistic form that can represents her disorganization state and abandon of human language. So, this research concerns to follow the main character in her creation process of what we name, based on Deleuze and Guattari’s discussions, Schizophrenic Language (writing).
