No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivo total.pdf: 585256 bytes, checksum: 310c60147a1c778e64cbfebb56ea932c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-03 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / This research focuses on literature produced by Elisa Lispector, immigrant writer who deals with sensitivity and uniqueness with the problematic of exile as well as the incommunicado in her literary composition. The corpus chosen for analysis is the novel No Exílio, first published in 1948. Considering the autobiographical traits constantly merged with the fiction in the novel, as pointed out by Nadia Battella Gotlib in text that is constitutes the unfinished and autobiographical work Retratos Antigos (2012), by Elisa Lispector, as well as the attempt to narrate Lispector family output a small village in Ukraine, where they lived, trying to escape the violence of the pogroms and the arrival into exile, i. e., in Brazil, in the early twentieth century. The very attempt to communicate this limit-experience and the pain of exile brings itself irrefutable testimonial traits, thus, in the wake of categories that problematize the modern world and its new conjucture permeated by disasters and traumas, seeking the support of Márcio Seligmann-Silva, especially of his studies in História, memória, literatura – o testemunho na era das catástrofes (2013), of Walter Benjamin in em A modernidade e os modernos (2000), of Friedrich Nietzsche in Genealogia da Moral (2012) and of Julia Kristeva com Estrangeiros para nós mesmos (1994), as well as other studies and theorists who have contributed significantly to the development and enrichment of research. / Esta pesquisa está centrada na literatura produzida por Elisa Lispector, escritora imigrante que trata com sensibilidade e singularidade da problemática do exílio e da incomunicabilidade em sua produção literária. O corpus escolhido para a análise é o romance No exílio, publicado pela primeira vez em 1948. Considerando os traços autobiográficos mesclados com a ficção constantes no romance (como aponta Nádia Battella Gotlib em texto que constitui a obra inacabada e autobiográfica Retratos Antigos (2012), de Elisa Lispector), bem como a tentativa de narrar a saída da família Lispector de uma pequena vila na Ucrânia, onde moravam, tentando fugir da violência dos Pogroms e a chegada ao exílio, ou seja, ao Brasil, no início do século XX. Na tentativa de comunicar essa experiência-limite e a dor do exílio a obra traz em si traços testemunhais irrefutáveis. Sendo assim, no esteio de categorias que problematizam o mundo moderno e sua nova conjuntura permeada por catástrofes e traumas, buscamos o apoio de Márcio Seligmann-Silva, principalmente com os estudos constantes em História, memória, literatura – o testemunho na era das catástrofes (2013), de Walter Benjamin em A modernidade e os modernos (2000), bem como suas Obras escolhidas I e II (1987), Friedrich Nietzsche com Genealogia da Moral (2012) e Julia Kristeva com Estrangeiros para nós mesmos (1994), bem como outros estudos e teóricos que contribuíram de maneira significativa para o desenvolvimento e enriquecimento desta pesquisa.

In my dissertation, I examine the works of six writers (George S. Kaufman, Moss Hart, Clarice and Elisa Lispector, Evgenia Ginzburg and Vasilii Aksyonov) who did not explore their Jewish identity in their texts and were subsequently left out of the canons of Jewish literature in their respective countries. My goal is to recalibrate the concept of the Jewish canon from the charged notion of identity to a theory of shared thematic material in which the works of hyphenated Jewish writers will be considered under the category of ‘Jewish American, Brazilian, or Russian’ if they share definite attributes. This was a transnational study showing that similar forces were at work not only in one country, but across continents, affecting the sensibilities of Jewish writers in remarkably similar ways. On a larger scale their de-thematized narratives share thematic tropes and belong to a ‘minor, liminal, marginal narrative,’ a narrative which attempted to work within the scope of the master narratives produced by the hegemonic culture. I have claimed that even though these six writers did not thematize identity in their texts, because of the negative political and social situation for the Jew in the first half of the twentieth century in western civilization, this situation and the writers’ own alterity produced similar and overlapping narratives. / text

[pt] Esta pesquisa partiu das leituras da obra de Elisa Lispector e da seguinte indagação do pesquisador: por que Elisa, publicada, considerada pela crítica e premiada na segunda metade do século XX no Brasil, caiu no esquecimento? A proposta é resgatar os motivos de interesse do trabalho da escritora. Dentre tais motivos, destacam-se -- em construção autônoma, mas inter-relacionada -- a busca da memória de uma família judaica expatriada, que fugiu da Ucrânia para o Brasil, e o questionamento constante da identidade e das relações interpessoais no contexto da dimensão temporal. As personagens, quer evidenciem ou não traços (auto)biográficos, delineiam-se, ao longo dos contos e romances, sempre empenhadas na construção de sua subjetividade. A tarefa projetada desenvolveu-se com o apoio das entrevistas feitas pelo autor da dissertação e de sua coleção de críticas referentes aos livros de Elisa, desenhos e pinturas do seu acervo, bem como fotos da família Lispector. O enfoque da situação da escritora e de sua obra teve, como principal referência teórica, os princípios da crítica biográfica, orientando não apenas a leitura de registros da vida de Elisa em contraponto à análise de amostras escolhidas de seus escritos, como também a inserção das experiências do pesquisador para a construção da figura da escritora. O objetivo maior é evidenciar a importância do resgate da obra de Elisa Lispector para a literatura brasileira. / [en] This research started from readings of Elisa Lispector and the question: why has her work, published, well regarded by critics and awarded prizes in the second half of the twentieth century in Brazil, fallen into neglect? The idea is to highlight the points of interest in Lispector s work. Foremost among these are the following (each a good reason in its own right, but all interconnected): the memories of an expatriate Jewish family who fled Ukraine for Brazil, and the constant questioning of identity and interpersonal relations over time. The characters—whether or not they contain (auto) biographical features—in her short stories and novels are always involved with the construction of their own subjectivity. This study relied on the interviews made by the author and on his collection of criticism related to Elisa Lispector s books, drawings and paintings belonging to her, as well as photographs of the Lispector family. The basic theoretical underpinnings of this study of a writer s life and work are the principles of biographical criticism. They provide guidelines not only for the reading of the records of a writer s life in the light of analyses of samples chosen from her writings, but also for an understanding of the researcher s own experiences in his construction of the figure of Elisa Lispector. The major goal here is to underscore the importance of rediscovering her work for Brazilian literature.
