The mystique of the meeting in Clarice Lispector. A learning by the senses.
Mystic; human formation; state of grace; learning.
In view of the concern with the imperialism of scientific knowledge as the only place of knowledge, this research investigates, in Clarice Lispector's literature, a-learning-to-be through the senses. When the body comes into contact with the matter of things, it comes into contact with the being-of-things, which, like an enigma, is a secret that does not reveal itself. In the encounter with the other, the characters had the world in their giving and they discovered themselves. That was the learning-to-be: the freedom to have what you had before and to rediscover what you always had. This phenomenon Clarice called the state of grace: the climax of existence in which they rediscovered when they addressed the “original”. A mystical phenomenon that this study does not intend to clarify, daring to name the unnameable. This research seeks to approach a possible understanding of grace, as an opening to the ineffable sense of creation, the mystery, that logical thought could not achieve with reason. There is no learning of new knowledge, but a rediscovery; a return on yourself: one for you. Who am I? This question is at the heart of understanding how the immanence of having a world, through direct contact with one's own things, led the characters, in experience of unity, to declare: “- I am being.” And in the being-being, they discover themselves god.
