HAND IN HAND WITH LITERATURE: A THERAPEUTIC JOURNEY
Literature. Therapeutic. Bibliotherapy. Catharsis. Clarice Lispector.
Life is always lurking, with its unpredictability not always friendly, its chances and unlikely incidents. Faced with a reality that is often hostile, we find ourselves looking for a return to well-being, some kind of cure or at least some relief. For some people, literature has already demonstrated this power. In this sense, this dissertation is a
therapeutic journey through literature, without delegating to it the miraculous cure of the world's problems, but seeking to disseminate some of its therapeutic properties and modalities to discuss its effects and reverberations. In the process, it was necessary to
think about the definition of literature as something that transcends human rights, value, power, canon. In addition, we talked about meaning, interpretation and the possibility of rationalizing and feeling literature as ways of experiencing it. This dissertation is also crossed by the literature of Clarice Lispector, who dialogues with us side by side theory and transmits its therapeutic potential, especially about the work The passion according to G.H.
