Abstract:
This essay presents a philosophical reflection about the circularity of Lygia Fagundes Telles’ writing from the impersonality of the literary text postulated by the French poststructuralists Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida. As a model, it is carried out an analysis of the metanarrativity in the short-story “Senhor Diretor”, of the compilation Seminário dos ratos (1977). That text exposes the dissimulation game in which the said is erased by the murmur of the unsaid. With this, the ambiguous writing processes are recognized, that hide references to the outside world, while talking about itself.
Keywords:
