In the work of Clarice Lispector it is possible to read not only a literary machine that, achieve theme to thematize and display a set of problems, tensions and flows -such as inquiries about animality, notions of life, work or even literature- but also succeeds in capturing a kind of anticipatory sensorium in its own time. In the following, we are going to reconstruct a reading that is three bars out of phase (Lispector menor, Tanta vida mutua, Un futuro contingente en las rosas impersonales) which are, in turn, three critical tours of the work of Clarice (in the stories A hora da estrela published in 1977, Um sopro de vida (Pulsações) published in 1978 y “A imitação da rosa” published in 1960) ranging from biopolitics, animality and the thought of the impersonal towards the ontological turn and the new materialisms.En AContracorriente.
