Figurações do feminino em Printemps et autres saisons de J.-M. G. Le Clézio
| Summary: | Le Clézio published his first literary work, Le Procès-Verbal, in 1963. This novel questions narrative code according to the theoretical proposals of the Nouveau Roman, inherited from the precedent decade, and meant him the Renaudot Prize. From this moment on, Le Clézio reveals himself not only as a prolific writer, but above all as a researcher for new objects of study and for new forms of writing. In fact, by using writing both as a mean to self-consciousness and as an attempt to understand others and the universe, he wanders from an aesthetic close to the Nouveau Roman to another that, little by little, recovers, among other aspects, the wonder of fabulous, imaginary, mythological or historical fiction. However, the novelist continues to transform the narrative codes from the past. Printemps et autres saisons’s composition reveals five female characters, which can be seen as symbols of transformation, wandering and rebirth for love and for life. |
