Tension between word and gesture in clarice Lispector
Drama. Gesture. theatricality. Literature. Mimesis. Diegese.
The drama, a literary genre that is part of the performing arts’ implementation, has been cousing since its origins, disciplinary restrictions. So, because of its margin condition, as a guiding text for the scene, the drama constitutes itself as a transdisciplinary piece, even when it is though of under the literary perspective. Thus, this research deals with an observation of the metaphors which indicate the mimeses/diegese dialogues, that take place sometimes in monologist form, or dialogic, or in others in speech soliloquy. Within this theoretical/practical framework, we analyze the drama of the characters in constructing themselves through fragments of the work tales mentioned by Lispector. This is an attempt to provide some answers to the following questions: to what extent does the construction of the dramatic figures in the drama can be resolved? Would be possible to think Clarice’s literature as a spatial tension between the diegetic and mimetic? Can the enunciation space of discourse be understood as a staging space or even as a scenography through gesture? These questions have contributed to the realization that the narratives studied/fragments enable us to verify that the drama of the dramatic figures transits between word and gesture in a mimetic and mimetic and diegetic. This work is also a contribution to the theoretical studies interested in the understanding of the “dramaturgy” beyond the stage, reflecting, above all, the limits and the boundaries between literary language and the language / text / theater.
