Ana e o amor:

existential-phenomenological reading by Clarice Lispector

Abstract

The boundary between psychology and literature is very thin. Both aim to understand how human beings behave in the world and seek to better understand their experiences and experiences. On the one hand, we have a deeper science that aims to understand the mental, behavioral and social interactionist processes of the human being. On the other hand, we have the “art of words”, defined by Aristotle as mimesis, that is, the art that imitates through the word. Therefore, through the literature we can see how a certain society behaves towards a certain event and observe historical aspects with a greater degree of place of speech. From this, this work aims to analyze the perception of the character Ana in Clarice Lispector's short story Amor. Specifically seeking to understand your vision of time, space, world and especially being. Therefore, through Martin Heidegger's phenomenology, a return to philosophical dialogues such as Jean-Paul Sartre's was established, in order to seek the meaning of being and how the story's heroine sees herself in this regard. It is concluded that everyday life is permeated by perceptions that crunch and situations that allow reflection on existing and its multidimensionality.
