A contribuição literária de Clarice Lispector para o jornalismo brasileiro: uma leitura das crônicas “As crianças chatas” e “Daqui a vinte e cinco anos”.

Abstract

This work objective it’s to analyze the contributions of Clarice Lispector literature for the Brazilian journalism, through her poetic, plural and contextualized language, inserted and involved with the political-cultural aspects of Brazil in her time, which was under the military political regime from 1968 to 1973. Therefore, it’ intended to start from a thematic focus in two chronicles that treat about her concern for social causes and, according to her, the most urgent need in Brazil at the time: the problem of hunger. These texts are gathered in the book Descobrindo o mundo, that will serve as a starting point and basis for our research. The applied methodology was bibliographical research, supported by literature gender analysis, in a qualitative approach. From these texts, it’s searched to emphasize the journalist's concern with life, through her words, that is, how she presents herself as committed to mankind and to the reality of mankind. To this, the investigation is based on authors such as Sá (1985), Candido (1992), Coutinho (1996), Moisés (1967), Gotlib (1995), Borelli (1981), Moser (2017), among the many who have contributed significantly for this research. As a result, we highlight that Clarice Lispector, when embarking on the journalistic chronicle, walks between fiction and everyday life – using a poetic language in prose – however, without deviating from her commitment to inform, in addition to practicing her questioning attitude to deal with issues apparently prosaic that, regardless, reveal the author's position in relation to Brazilian society at the time.
