Description
- Abstract:
- This essay performs a different reading of Clarice Lispector's work 'Água viva,' starting with the ecological and ecofeminist theories of recent years. The study focuses on the use of nature images to present the socio-political consciousness of the Brazilian author. Lispector reinterprets the patriarchal concept of nature, which understood it with an inferior space and concretely as a negative metaphor for woman.
