Resumo
O presente trabalho visa, além de estabelecer redes interpretativas e analíticas em
torno de Água Viva, fomentar a crítica literária da obra escrita e publicada pela
primeira vez em 1973 por Clarice Lispector, poucos anos antes de sua morte. A fim
de mergulhar no universo sensorial da escritora, propomo-nos a observar a tentativa
e a realização de uma transformação em curso durante o fazer da obra: uma escrita
que passa de pessoal a impessoal (ou ao que disso mais se aproxima). Processo
editorial que se baseia em cortes e reduções, principalmente no que diz respeito a
trechos ou a índices autobiográficos. Serão principalmente mobilizados os motivos
conhecidos sob as denominações de “Neutro”, de “escrita branca” ou, ainda, de
“escrita de grau zero”, ambas propostas e discutidas por Roland Barthes ao longo
de seu percurso como pesquisador e professor. Será um de nossos objetivos
analisar de que forma esses conceitos são abordados em diferentes obras, em O
grau zero da escrita (1953) e em O Neutro (2002), por exemplo; e como essas
perspectivas se modificam no decorrer do tempo. Tentaremos, sobretudo, analisar
se há, de fato, nuances de Neutro na obra Água Viva, e, se sim, por meio de que
figuras ele se faz presente. Ainda: será convocado aquele motivo que encena a
morte do autor a partir de Barthes, além da discussão acerca do papel do leitor na
obra publicada em 1973.
This work aims, in addition to establishing interpretative and analytical networks around Água Viva, to encourage literary criticism of the work written and published for the first time in 1973 by Clarice Lispector, a few years before the author's death. In order to dive into the writer's sensory universe, we propose to observe the attempt and the realization of an ongoing transformation during the making of the work: a writing that goes from personal to impersonal (or what comes closest to that). Editorial process that is based on cuts and reductions, mainly with regard to excerpts or autobiographical indexes. The motives known under the terms “Neutral”, “white writing”, or “Writing degree zero”, both proposed and discussed by Roland Barthes throughout his career as a researcher and teacher, will be mobilized. It will be one of our objectives to analyze how these concepts are approached in different works, as in Writing Degree Zero (1953) and in The Neutral (2007), for example; and how these perspectives change over time. Above all, we will try to analyze whether there are, in fact, Neutral nuances in the work Água Viva, and, if so, through which figures he is present. Still: that motive that stages the author's death from Barthes will be summoned, in addition to the discussion about the role of the reader in the work published in 1973.
