POJAR, Giovanna Bucioli and SCORSOLINI-COMIN, Fabio. A Body that Burns: Corporeality and Production of Subjectivity in Clarice LispectorUn Corp qui Brûle: Corporéité et Production de Subjectivité chez Clarice Lispector. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.1-12. ISSN 2359-0769. https://doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20i1.e7365.
This study has as its theme corporeity, understanding the experience of being in the world and its subjectivation from the body. It seeks to investigate how corporeity appears in Clarice Lispector's work from the analysis of two of her short stories: Amor, from the book Laços de Família, and Melhor do que arder, from A via crucis do corpo. The analysis was taken from the literature on corporeity, notably the studies by Merleau-Ponty and Foucault. The tales raise the issue of the corporeal subject, not Cartesian, valuing the important role of corporeity in the processes of subjectivation, which do not manifest themselves from an "inner consciousness", but in the body itself, providing a reflection on the practices and the idea of subjects adopted by Psychology.
