Análise semiótica do conto "A imitação da rosa", de Clarice Lispector: modos de construção da identidade feminina

Abstract

This monograph analyzes the construction of female identity in short story The “A Imitação da Rosa” by Clarice Lispector, which came out in 1960 in Laços de Família, builds the idea of what a woman is. Adopting a discursive semiotic approach, the study seeks to understand the protagonist Laura’s journey, marked by tensions between oppression and freedom. It pays close mind to the high and low feelings that show her finding herself. The work also digs into how talks in society, family, and faith shape who she becomes, while also tying in with The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, which affects what Laura does and how she acts. Moreover, this work uses a deep written review to back its theory talk, with a focus on the writings of Barros (2005), Fiorin (1996, 1998, 2007, 2008, 2018), Floch (2001), and Greimas (1975). These authors give key theory base needed to get the story path and the idea shifts seen in the story. In short, this study helps move both lit and sign study forward by looking at how Lispector forms a rich story on a woman's self and the social and faith fights that go deep into and shape her self. Key words: Female Identity; Discursive Semiotics; Freedom; Opression.
