Clarice Lispector

gênero, violência e campo literário no Brasil

Abstract

This article seeks to demonstrate the importance of Pierre Bourdieu's Literary Field concept to understand the reconfiguration of Clarice Lispecto's work: the importance of journalistic activities in adapting her profoundly hermetic style and consolidating another literary style, which culminated in the construction of work “Laços de Família”, earning Clarice national notoriety. The writer made an adaptation of her narrative characterized by the description of the extreme experience that the language expresses, plots highlighting scenarios of psychological violence and domestic violence to a language consistent with the expectations of the literary field in Brazil. The focus is on the study of the importance of the concept of Literary Field for the author's trajectory and the tensions found by Clarice at the time.
