Overview

Clarice Lispector's embrace of the non-place is not merely thematic or decorative; it is constitutive of her literary form and philosophical inquiry. The non-place, as articulated by anthropologist Marc Aug , refers to spaces of transience without lasting identity, but also metaphorically to existential states of flux, non-belonging, and alienation. Clarice uses such settings to probe the boundaries of subjectivity, frequently dissolving the line between self and environment.

This book explores Clarice's radical spatial poetics, underscoring her crucial role in repositioning Brazilian literature at the intersection of space, subjectivity, and existential non-belonging. Clarice's fiction repeatedly stages her characters within liminal settings, where the familiarity of the everyday is continuously interrupted by the uncanny and the unknown. These non-places are not merely passive backdrops; they function to destabilize rigid conceptions of identity, challenge the coherence of self, and foreground processes of existential questioning.
