Elisa Lispector e Samuel Rawet: trajetórias exiladas e suas contribuições para a literatura brasileira contemporânea

Abstract

The writer, in general terms, presents himself as someone who needs to communicate something. However, Elisa Lispector and Samuel Rawet have been a paradox: the writer, despite his urgent need to say, count, narrate, is involved in an inescapable incommunicaity. For them, the text may find your reader sooner or later. Thus, a group of contemporary Brazilian literature, characterized as the Third Generation of Jewish writers, has contributed to the (re)reading of immigrant authors studied in this thesis. Whether it is the thematic approach, whether by biographical similarity, this group and the authors studied here are concerned about the tragic trajectory of immigrants displaced from all nature, who abandon the idea of belonging and fixed identities to understand writing as the real abode. Elisa Lispector and Samuel Rawet, although they were somehow assimilated and integrated into the Brazilian sociocultural space, remained on the fringes of the literary mainstream, cultivating a certain image of an autonomous and independent writer. Elisa remained on the sidelines of the illustrious and popular sister's work, pursuing a writing about women shaken by patriarchal control, while Rawet, more viscerally, broke with the Jewish community and assumed her homosexuality. These conducts placed them in voluntary isolation, constituting a kind of new emigration. Thus, we understand that the isolation of these authors contributed to their literary creation and constituted what we call post-exile. This post-exile, or second exile, configures the perspective necessary for the writer and configures an isolation strategy of the literary mainstream to consolidate creative freedom. Thus, they enunciated a literary discourse also on the sidelines, currently considered one of the pillars of the postmodern character of cultural production and its thematic trajectories and choices contribute to contemporary Brazilian literature
