Descripción
Sumario:This essay intends to elaborate the possible relations between the nourishment field, the experience of taste, and the encounter with otherness in Clarice Lispector’s novel “The Passion According to G.H.”. Through multiples references from literary theory, psychoanalysis, decolonial philosophies, phenomenology, nutrition, and philosophies of taste, it tried to demonstrate that the conflict with the other is a fundamental process for the establishment of the Self; and from which ways the human experience of nourishment and taste are a privileged field to this event. It also analyzed the discursive processes used by Lispector to embrace the human uneasiness towards the unknown and the primal impulse of integration, absorption, and incorporation of what is beyond the subject.
