This study revisits research begun in the 1980s to recover Clarice Lispector’s work published in the Brazilian press. Lispector used the pages of various periodicals as an opportunity to publish poems, short stories, and small narratives that, subjected to later revision, would become landmarks in her literary production. Such is the case of the recipe for killing coakroaches that Lispector published as a columnist for “Entre Mulheres” in the weekly Comicio in 1952. Published under the title, “Meio comico, mas eficaz,” this text would later be split into two fictional pieces—the short story “A quinta historia” and the novel A paixao segundo G.H. Working under the name Tereza Quadros, Lispector reveals in “Entre Mulheres” a feminist agenda that interrogates the condition of women in the 1950s and makes of the section a platform for the dissemination of ideas brought from post-war Europe.
本研究回顾了始于20世纪80年代的研究,以恢复克拉丽斯·利斯佩克特在巴西媒体上发表的作品。利斯佩克特利用各种期刊作为发表诗歌、短篇小说和小叙述的机会,这些经过后来的修改,将成为她文学创作的里程碑。1952年,利斯佩克特在《漫画》周刊(Comicio)上以专栏作家的身份发表了一篇关于杀死蟑螂的方法的文章。这篇文章以“我的漫画,我的eficaz”为标题出版,后来被分成了两个虚构的部分——短篇小说“A quinta historia”和长篇小说“A paixao segundo G.H.”。利斯佩克特以特雷莎·夸德罗斯的名义,在“Entre Mulheres”中揭示了女权主义议程,质疑了20世纪50年代女性的状况,并将这一部分作为传播战后欧洲思想的平台。

This article focuses on Clarice Lispector’s chronicles published in the Jornal do Brasil from 1967-1973. These chronicles become a public space for exposing the act of thinking, which is strongly linked to emotions, instead of depicting a daily overview of events for the newspaper’s readers. Drawing from Bruno Latour’s notions of “translation” and “purification,” I argue that there is a “translation” process in Lispector’s chronicles that goes against “purification practices.” To this effect, I focus on how Lispector displays both her thinking process and her emotions, and on the role of things and people in her writing. Lispector delves into life from her home, an environment that becomes an “epistemological space,” as defined by Stacy Alaimo.
本文主要关注Clarice Lispector在1967-1973年期间发表在journal do Brasil上的编年史。这些编年史成为揭露与情感密切相关的思考行为的公共空间,而不是为报纸的读者描绘每日事件的概述。根据布鲁诺·拉图尔的“翻译”和“净化”的概念,我认为在利斯佩克托的编年史中有一个与“净化实践”背道而驰的“翻译”过程。为此,我将重点关注利斯佩克特如何展示她的思维过程和情感,以及事物和人在她的写作中所扮演的角色。利斯佩克特从她的家深入研究生活,一个环境变成了一个“认识论空间”,正如斯泰西·阿莱莫所定义的那样。

Traces of Clarice Lispector’s experiences as an interviewer of public figures for popular magazines can be found in her literary texts, which are full of unanswered questions and searches for identity. Her characters also often yearn for an interlocutor who might understand and appreciate them, with whom they might establish a dialogue. The interviews themselves are interesting from a biographical and aesthetic point of view but also because the choice of interviewees, ranging from sportsmen to actresses and First Ladies, paints a portrait of Brazil at two key moments in history: the late 1960s, in the depths of dictatorship, and the late 1970s, when it was governed by a less repressive, but still authoritarian and military government. This article discusses recurring patterns and structures, and Lispector’s creation of an interviewer persona, paying particular attention to the interviews not yet published in book form.

In 1959, when the sophisticated magazine Senhor was launched in Rio de Janeiro, the renowned writer Clarice Lispector was invited to join this new publishing venture targeted at educated upper-class men. As a separated woman in need of an income to support herself and her two children, Lispector accepted the offer, regularly contributing with chronicles/stories, and starting at the end of 1961 a column that she named “Children's Corner” in the section “Sr. & Cia.” These contributions are fragmentary, exploratory, somewhat hinting at failure. This article reads Lispestor’s texts for Senhor as interventions that enact a rupture in a narrative of growth, progress, and development geared towards a heteroreproductive future. As it unsettles this ideology, Lispector’s “Children’s Corner” also stages new modes of relationality that defy the ideas of human exceptionalism and human mastery over matter and nature.

By reconstructing the acts and voices of technological artifacts in A cidade e as serras (1901), this paper outlines what I call Eca de Queiros’s technological “twilight zone,” where machines are granted literary citizenship, and human interlocutors are forced to reevaluate who and what counts as humanity and conversation. I argue that the unresponsiveness of technological artifacts to the human voice in A cidade e as serras reveals a process of destabilization of power hierarchies and vocal anthropocentrism. Eca neither demonizes nor glorifies machines; rather he elaborates ways in which productive coexistence and communication can remain a prime objective. In A cidade e as serras, Eca parses out anxieties about technology and modernity in subtle and balanced ways that can shed new light on enduring questions about humanmachine interactions in our era of technological dependence.
通过重构《作为奴隶的cidade e as serras》(1901)中技术人工制品的行为和声音,本文概述了我称之为Eca de Queiros的技术“模糊地带”,在这里,机器被授予文学公民身份,而人类对话者被迫重新评估谁和什么才是人性和对话。我认为,技术制品对人类声音的不响应,揭示了权力等级和声音人类中心主义的不稳定过程。Eca既不妖魔化机器,也不美化机器;相反,他详细阐述了如何使富有成效的共存和交流成为主要目标。在《作为塞拉斯的cidade e as serras》一书中,埃卡以微妙而平衡的方式分析了人们对技术和现代性的焦虑,为我们这个依赖技术的时代有关人机交互的持久问题提供了新的视角。

The Portuguese Inquisition in the colonies of the Empire remains understudied due to a lack of primary source materials that are available the researchers and educators. The advances in digital technologies and the current drive to foster Open Access have allowed us to understand better the relations among the complex set of circumstances as well as the mechanisms that, in their totality, represent the Portuguese Inquisition. The present paper seeks to answer questions that vary from describing these resources to identifying the institutions that created them. Digitized resources serve as a surrogate of the originals, and we can leverage the access to these electronic surrogates and enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of inquisition through E-Inquisitional objects in pedagogy and research.

This article studies the way in which the women’s pages Clarice Lispector wrote between 1959 and 1961 for Correio da Manha, under the pen name of Helen Palmer, and as ghost writer for fashion model Ilka Soares for Diario da Noite, reveal a transformation in the sociocultural imagination of childhood. In these columns, published in newspapers of wide circulation, Lispector’s interest in child psychology, as well as her ideas about motherhood and child-rearing, become quite apparent. The women’s pages crafted by Lispector unveil a social and historical paradigm shift in parental roles in line with the wider process of modernization, new consumption practices, and novel ideas about subjectivity that emerge during the 1960s in Brazil.
本文研究了克拉丽斯·利斯佩克特在1959年至1961年间以海伦·帕尔默笔名为《Correio da Manha》撰写的女性篇章,以及作为时装模特伊尔卡·苏亚雷斯为《笔记日记》代笔的女性篇章,揭示了儿童社会文化想象的转变。在这些广泛传播的报纸上发表的专栏中,利斯佩克特对儿童心理学的兴趣,以及她对母亲和养育孩子的看法,变得非常明显。利斯佩克托精心制作的女性页面揭示了父母角色的社会和历史范式转变,这与20世纪60年代在巴西出现的更广泛的现代化进程、新的消费实践和关于主体性的新思想相一致。
