RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND DEATH IN LYGIA FAGUNDES TELLES AND INÊS PEDROSA

Abstract

This paper offers a dialogue between the literature de Brazil and Portugal and use as corpus Lygia Fagundes Telles’ As meninas (2009) and Inês Pedrosa’s Fazes-me falta (2011), aiming at verifying how the relation between death and language occurs in the works of the authors. In search of these targeted purposes, it will be specially taken into consideration Maurice Blanchot (1987) and (1997) and Roland Barthes’ (2004) and (1997) works; to the appropriation of information about the writers, it will be used the fortunate critic of each of them, such as Sônia Régis (1998), Diana Navas, and Telma Ventura (2017). Meeting points were identified between the authors, such as the perception that both made a grinding work with the literary word, putting on the spot reflections around the writer’s own professional object – the language – and the use of mournful themes, as well, in order to rise metalinguistic thinking.
