Abstract

The reading of Amor de Clarice, by Rui Torres, imposes at least two embarassments to the critical analysis. One of them is due to the fact that the piece submits reading, since the title, to the Clarice Lispector's aesthetics, when it elects as the starting point the creation of the Clarice Lispector's short story, published in Laços de família, in 1960. The other, is related to its material formalization, and it requires analysis mechanisms attentive to the configuration hypertextual, and also the coexistence of verbal language with other languages. This essay is based on the assumption that both embarassments can be elaborated critically and used as analysis tool: the meanings consolidated in Clarice Lispector's short story can be read as elements that ‘deprogram’ (Machado, 2007) the digital technique, employed on the material formalization of Amor de Clarice, at the same time that this material formalization can be identified as what enables displacing and expanding the meanings of Clarice Lispector's short story. The analysis of the piece is supported by the reflections of Marku Eskellinen (2012) about the intertextuality on the context of cybertextuality and by those from George Landow (1994; 2009), about the hypertext.
