Contra a carne o corpo se transformará em palavras a escrita de Maura Lopes Cançado

Abstract

This research seeks to discuss the work Hospício é Deus – Diário I, by Maura Lopes Cançado (1929 – 1993), an author from Minas Gerais, in order to point out the deep connection that the book presents with the notion of body. Her works consist of two books, the diary to be studied and a book of short stories called O Sofredor do Ver. The study, which involves a research on the concepts dear to the author's work, namely: body, writing, time, madness and memory, will focus on four fronts or fields: the different manifestations of the body in Hospício É Deus – Diário I; the warp of the text from memory in the work to be investigated; the way in which these pillars are related and the meaning effects that this relationship provokes. From this perspective, we will take as a hypothesis the idea that the link between body and memory writing, in production, is formed through a mirroring relationship between these two fields.
