Escrever o outro: a construção da narrativa humanizada nas entrevistas de Clarice Lispector com mulheres escritoras

Abstract

This work addresses the humanization of journalism through the lens of Clarice Lispector’s role as an interviewer. To this end, the theoretical framework is grounded in Cremilda Medina’s studies on the interview as a form of dialogue, Martin Buber’s philosophy regarding the “I-Thou” relationship versus “I-It” and concepts of empathy and literary journalism. The methodology consists of bibliographic research, having as its object of study nine interviews conducted by Clarice Lispector with female writers, compiled in the book Clarice Lispector entrevista. The analysis investigates the resources Lispector employs to humanize her interviews and suggests pathways for more professionals to regard humanization as a legitimate and essential element of journalism. The results demonstrate that Clarice subverts journalistic conventions by employing self-disclosure, expressing vulnerability and establishing bonds of intimacy with the interviewees. Thus, the Claricean approach elevates the interview from a data collection technique to a human encounter.
