Vidas que se contam: a escrita como otoconhecimento em Nietzsche e Clarice Lispector

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is to present writing as otoknowledge. The prefix "Oto" comes from the Greek, which means heard, and differs from the mordern and subjective "self", which focuses on the "I", as well as the Socratic maxim "Know thyself". Our "Oto", on the other hand, approaches the pindaric poem "Become who you are", assuming an incessant becoming, which is also shown in the act of writing. We will use as theoretical contribution several Nietzschean works, following the Derridian line of reading many texts simultaneously, such as, The Gaia Science, Twilight of Idols, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Ecce Homo, among others. In Clarice Lispector, we will read Água Viva, A Paixão Segundo G.H., Um Sopro de Vida, as well as letters and chronicles. In the first chapter, it will be addressed the experimentation of writing, plurality and the many styles that dress the texts of our authors, styles that differ and denounce the systematic writing that prevailed in tradition, proposing other ways to weave. In the second chapter, the limits of words and when art enters the scene will be questioned. In addition, the quarrel between poetry, philosophy and literature will be discussed, seeking to understand the lines that interconnect them. As a result, it will be presented in the third chapter the writing as otoknowledge, going through the otherness and its dwellings in the Nietzchian and Claricean work, both being written with the whole body and with life.
