Cristina Peri Rossi reads Clarice Lispector: Introspective discourse and the naturalized limits of “feminine writing”

Abstract

In contrast to what Cristina Peri Rossi asserts about introspection in Clarice Lispector’s work, understanding it as an specific feature of the feminine writing, I propose that the introspective discourse in the work of the Brazilian writer subverts and exceeds the naturalized limits fixed by the canonical male discourse for the literature produced by women.
