Abstract

Abstract This essay explores the sense and embrace of risk in Clarice Lispector’s writing. Beginning with a newspaper contribution from her Crônicas, the essay foregrounds the dimension of repetitive tracing to transmit the notion that the risk of living is ongoing, inescapably, but that there is a possibility of stepping forward to embrace this risk differently. The essay then turns to a scene that captures this gesture well: the scene of a woman bathing in the sea, which Clarice returned to and published several times. This gesture is compared to philosophical considerations of risk in terms of what escapes reason and calls for a different disposition – of faith (Søren Kierkegaard, Blaise Pascal) or ecstasy (Georges Bataille). The essay examines the particular notions of joy and saber that Clarice insists on as the consequence of risk, and it explores different responses to this joy’s discovery in Clarice’s fiction, showing their relation to what psychoanalysis calls “feminine jouissance.” This joy is a human experience that exceeds cultural formatting. Clarice’s writing, I suggest, is traversed by a nomadic voice beyond meaning whose work bears a striking resemblance to that of drawing and the voice in Willy Apollon’s account of Haitian Vodou. I propose that writing in Clarice Lispector is the field of an ethics of risk insofar as it welcomes, upholds, and gives what has been excluded from language.

与克拉丽斯·利斯佩克特探讨风险伦理
摘要本文探讨了Clarice Lispector写作中对风险的感知和拥抱。从她的Crônicas在报纸上的一篇文章开始,这篇文章强调了重复追踪的维度,以传递这样一种观念,即生活的风险是持续的、不可避免的,但有可能以不同的方式接受这种风险。然后,这篇文章转向了一个很好地捕捉到这个手势的场景:一个女人在海里洗澡的场景,克拉丽斯回到了这个场景,并发表了几次。这种姿态与哲学上对风险的考虑相比,是因为什么逃脱了理性,并要求不同的性格——信仰(Søren Kierkegaard,Blaise Pascal)或狂喜(Georges Bataille)。这篇文章探讨了克拉丽斯作为风险的结果所坚持的快乐和军刀的特殊概念,并探讨了对克拉丽斯小说中这种快乐的发现的不同反应,展示了它们与精神分析所称的“女性快乐”的关系。这种快乐是一种超越文化形式的人类体验。我认为,克拉丽斯的作品被一种超越意义的游牧声音所贯穿,他的作品与绘画和威利·阿波隆对海地伏杜的描述中的声音惊人地相似。我建议,用Clarice Lispector写作是风险伦理的领域,因为它欢迎、支持和给予被排除在语言之外的东西。

期刊介绍: Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities was established in September 1993 to provide an international forum for vanguard work in the theoretical humanities. In itself a contentious category, "theoretical humanities" represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture.
