Palavra que agride, palavra que convoca: Ricardo Lísias e o nome próprio entre desastre e acontecimento

Abstract

Through the concepts of disaster, according to Blanchot (2016), and of event, according to Deleuze (2015), this text seeks to think over the use of the first name in Ricardo Lísias’ work as a way of ethical, aesthetical and political assimilation of the instability and tension established by blows, be it in its individual or colective aspects. To do such, the performatic character of Lísias’ work, especially his autofictional work, is investigated in order to somewhat establish two ethical-aesthetical-political moments: the moment of concentration and the moment of dissent. The first moment, foremost intensive, is derived from the short story Concentração, by Lísias (2015), and the second moment, foremost political, is derived from the concept by Jacques Rancière (1996, 2012). They are both operations that communicate with what this dissertation identifies in Lísias as agression and summoning: it consists on thinking of literature in an active and provocative (sometimes offensive) relation with the political and social conjuncture, in such a way that new fields of possibilites may arise, as well as new possibilities of life.
