Discurso e identidade na obra A Hora da Estrela de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to analyze the discourses present in the work A Hora da Estrela, by writer Clarice Lispector, based on the narrator's and Macabéa's speeches and how these contribute to the construction of the character's identity. For theoretical foundation we use Discourse Analysis in the perception of Maingueneau (1984) and the concept of identity worked by Silva (2000). We used the work cited as a corpus, and, when studying it, we realized that four main discourses stand out: the religious, the deterministic, the patriarchal and the capitalist. They all interact with each other, supporting and complementing each other to build the character's identity. The importance of this study was due to the fact that, although it is a fiction, the work portrays the lives of many women who, like a character, are still socially repressed and live in subaltarian conditions, like the character, supported by the aforementioned speeches
