Clarice Lispector e seus textos de brincar: A criança e o jogo da leitura

Abstract

Clarice Lispector is one of the most revered names in Brazilian Literature and part of her work was dedicated to writing for children. The objective of this study is to promote an analysis of the author's children's narratives, focusing on the perspective of the play that emerges in the act reading, involving author, text and reader. Furthermore, it seeks to show how play theory is linked to the text and, finally, forms of play adopted by Clarice, especially mask play. In order to, it seeks to value children's literature by promoting a dialogue between childrens’s literature and adult narratives aiming to understand Clarice's stylistic traits used in both forms. In this way, it attempts to place Lispector's children's literature in its rightful place: on the same literary level, since due to the scarcity of studies about this literary form, the need for studies that contemplate it is clear. This thesis, therefore, aims to contribute to studies on Clarice Lispector's children's literature and its relationship with plays, highlighting traces her writing as well as showing that her texts can be engaged with playfully, achieving diverse meanings and results. To support the discussions, we turned to scholars as Huizinga (1938), Caillois (1958), Iser (1979) and Bakhtin (1919).
