Abstract:
The possible relationship between ethics and literature should be thought from the outcome the questioning of metaphysics of presence proposes; from De la Grammatologie (DERRIDA, 1967), the framework of Derridas's thought. In order to write beyond metaphysics of presence, unsettled by Derrida, it is necessary to move away from extreme contemporary visual stimulation to search for new language experiences. The linguistic mode of the semiotics, for instance, according to Julia Kristeva's linguistic model (Revolution in Poetic Language, 1974), suggests that an experience in which aspects of the written life be able to produce subtle meanings, always co-present with the symbolic mode. In this theoretical context, some extracts of texts by Clarice Lispector, which can be read side by side with women genius thinkers, according to Kristeva, pave the way to something different from the tympanites caught by Derrida. As a result, this essay shows an interpretation of the slantways that lead to the tensions between feeling and thinking when it comes to the crossing of Ethics and Aesthetics, which suggests reflection on some typical textual segments of the written singularity produced by women.
