Resumo
The present work has as objective to analyze the texts Quarto de Despejo (1960) and Onde
estaes felicidade? (2014) by Carolina Maria de Jesus as also Perto do Coração Selvagem
(1998) and Amor (1998) by Clarice Lispector. From the comparative studies of Tânia
Carvalhal (2006), we try to establish a dialogue between these two authors and some of their
texts, in order to consider how female participation in literary production interferes in the
representation of women (Butler, 2017). The course of analysis includes the ethnic, social and
cultural aspects that affect writing and, consequently, create points of dissonance between
these two authors, while convergence stems from the possibility of a woman to represent
herself. In the process of writing, women emerge the anxieties, conflicts and longings proper
to their universe; this means the opportunity for the subaltern to represent himself and, in this
sense, conscious of his voice, to be empowered (LÉON, 2001). Thus, it is hypothesized that
women's writing will reverberate the social, cultural and ethnic conditions to which the
woman was and is submitted, allowing a comparison that reflects on the path taken by this
gender in the attempt to leave the periphery and goes forward the conquest of an “own roof"
(WOOLF, 2004). If in the text of Clarice Lispector, the flow of consciousness and the
existential dimension prevail, there being room for the expansion and evaluation of feelings
such as love; in Carolina Maria de Jesus’ writing hatches the material aspect, represented in
incipient necessities like children’s education, the lack of money and food that will culminate
in the degradation of the individual without perspectives. In order to observe and contrast the
writing of these two authors, it is necessary to recognize the ethnic elements studied by
Regina Dalcastagnè (2012), to use the social and identity studies proposed by Stuart Hall
(2015) and to analyze the cultural analyzes of Pierre Bourdieu (2012) and Simone de
Beauvoir (1980), observing the influence of these markers in the writing process. The
Claricean text enjoys the privilege that comes from an educated woman, admitted in the niche
of the intellectuality, while the Carolinean production arises under the same marginalization
suffered by the author. In short, through the analysis, it can be seen that the woman in the text
of Clarice Lispector may not get rid of the social and cultural domination that has been
pursuing her for centuries, however, she begins to have a small right over her body and to
reflect about her desires. Although in more arid soil, it is in the same emancipatory sense that
goes through Carolina Maria de Jesus, who, under the prejudice of being a woman, without a
husband, with no schooling, money or professionalization, realizes the dream of becoming a
writer and opens space for other voices, subalternized like hers, to be heard and considered in the social and literary space.
