Abstract
This analysis address two fundamental texts of Clarice Lispector, Água viva (1973) and “Amor” - second story of Laços de família (1960) - avoiding the reiterated intimate and metalinguistic classifications of the work of the writer and suggesting an opening to contradiction, latency and inconclusiveness as writing and interpretation procedures. Instead of a categorical reading from a specific genre, it is proposed, in correspondence with the author's indications in both writings, a theoretical approach to Heniz von Foerster's observation system, the antiocularcentrism analyzed by Martin Jay and the notion of crisis of the word in Michel Foucault. As an alternative of reading, narration, experimentation and synesthesia are indicated as possible approximations to both texts. Finally, the relationship between literature and life in the Lispector deed is highlighted and it is observed how the language problems point to political positions that radically transform the act of reading and anticipate its possible consequences, far beyond the literary text.
