O (a)mar em Marguerite Duras: do “Arrebatamento” ao “Amor”

Introduction

O (a)mar em marguerite duras: do “arrebatamento” ao “amor”. Explore a obra de Marguerite Duras, "Amor" e "O Arrebatamento de Lol V. Stein", e sua ligação com Almodóvar. Analisa a linguagem, escrita e o indizível no feminino.

Abstract

O mar de Julieta (2016), filme de Pedro Almodóvar, traz nas suas ondas a S.Thala de Marguerite Duras que, mais do que um cenário, é um dos personagens do seu enigmático livro Amor, sendo também contexto fundamental de O Arrebatamento de Lol V. Stein. A partir desses dois títulos buscamos estabelecer um paralelo entre a obra durassiana e o percurso de uma análise, ambos realizados através da linguagem, que comporta a fala, a escrita e o impossível de dizer. Palavras-chave: Escrita. Amor. Feminino. Arrebatamento. AbstractThe sea in “Julieta” (2016), a film by Pedro Almodóvar, brings with it Marguerite Duras’ S. Thala, which, more than a setting, is one of the characters in her enigmatic novel “Love”, and is also a fundamental context for The Rapture of Lol V. Stein. Based on these two titles, we seek to establish a parallel between Duras’ work and the path of an analysis, both carried out through language, which includes speech, writing and the impossible to say. Keywords: Writing. Love. Feminine. Rapture.

Review

This paper proposes an intriguing exploration of Marguerite Duras's seminal works, "Amor" and "O Arrebatamento de Lol V. Stein," through the recurring motif of the sea. The abstract effectively sets the stage by drawing an initial, evocative parallel to Pedro Almodóvar's film "Julieta," where the sea is presented not just as a backdrop but as a character, much like Duras's S.Thala. The central aim is to establish a sophisticated comparison between Duras's literary oeuvre and the 'path of an analysis,' both articulated and navigated through the intricate dimensions of language. The chosen primary texts are exceptionally rich for such an investigation, offering fertile ground for examining Durasian themes of love, the feminine, and rapture, as highlighted in the keywords. The concept of the sea as a character or fundamental context in Duras's enigmatic narratives is a compelling entry point, and the promise of tracing a 'path of an analysis' through her language is particularly promising. This framework suggests a rigorous engagement with how Duras's writing operates, encompassing explicit speech, the act of writing itself, and the profound exploration of what remains unspoken or "impossible to say," which is a hallmark of her unique literary style. This approach promises significant insights into both Duras's aesthetic and its theoretical underpinnings. While the abstract presents a compelling overview, the full paper would benefit from a more explicit articulation of the precise nature of the "path of an analysis" – whether it refers to a psychoanalytic, philosophical, or a distinct literary-critical methodology. Additionally, a clearer explanation of *how* Almodóvar's "Julieta" and its waves specifically inform or contribute to the Durasian analysis, beyond introducing the sea motif, would strengthen the introduction and demonstrate the intertextual connection more fully. Elucidating these points will allow the paper to fully realize its ambitious potential in exploring the intricate relationship between Duras's literary genius, the complexities of language, and the profound depths of human experience it seeks to represent.
