Conflit et complicité : la communauté des femmes chez Clarice Lispector
If there are two words that still call us, summon us, make us dream and at the same time resist in many ways to deliver their "truth", they are community and woman. This thesis strives to bring them closer, to keep them in proximity in referring to the writings of Clarice Lispector. Since the work of the Brazilian writer, composed largely of female characters and narrators, often features women's face-to-face, we examine how these encounters reflect a possible community of women. However, as announced in the title of this study, the community of women in question in Lispector's work is one that exists sporadically oscillating between conflict and complicity. In an attempt to give form and vocabulary to such a community of women, we go through the main theories of the community, especially those developed by Jean-Luc Nancy, Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes as well as some theories of feminism. Then we explore concepts that "provoke" the emergence of the community of women as repetition, rhythm, inspiration and gift. Ultimately, this summary could have had only one sentence, one sentence that sums up the whole thesis: the community of women without community or not a community like the others.
