FOUCAULT, CLARICE LISPECTOR

the words, the things, and the experience

Abstract

This paper discusses some basic themes of the book The Order of Things, by Michel Foucault: the being of language, relations between discourse and truth, history and discontinuity, the genealogy of representation, the power of literature, the emergence of the human sciences. With references to some works of Clarice Lispector, and also questioning the main topics of this Foucault's book I emphasize his creative proposal, about the tension between visibilities and enunciabilities, and between seeing and saying, in order to suggest other creative possibilities for research on education and human sciences.
