Abstract
MARCOS, Cristina Moreira. The aesthetics of the breath in Clarice Lispector and the feminine jouissance. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.2, pp.195-208. ISSN 1677-1168.
Art teaches us ways of subjectiveness that are the object of clinical practice. We can read from something about the feminine pertaining to what I propose to call an "aesthetics of the breath", from the murmur and the blanks of the writing, so as to allow approximation to what Lacan calls the feminine jouissance and the sublimation. Writing is thought of as a certain contingent fate of the impossible feminine, giving support to a supplementary jouissance and having a relation with the phallus and the S (A). I intend to read in Clarice Lispector the questions her work raises about the feminine, and not a feminine signification of her work. The theoretical framework is provided by her book "Água Viva"
