A alquimia como processo de criação: pulsações entre a escrita de Clarice Lispector e a escrita da história

Abstract

In this dissertation I aim to understand the proximity between the creative process of Clarice Lispector and the writing of History. To do so, I use as source and object of study the book Água viva (1973), the typewritten copy of this same book, which is under the guard of FCRB, and the paintings made by Clarice in the sixties and seventies, belonging to the collections of the FCRB and IMS. Through the documents relating to the creative path of Clarice Lispector, we realize that Agua Viva is a work prepared in every detail contrasting to an automatic style of writing, because of this, I highlight the importance of the analysis of the creative process for the study of the book. In this dissertation, I aim to weave the relations between History and Literature with focus on the fact of a writing being a \"become\" and on the creative process of the textual production, in which there are, both, inspiration and work.
