Abstract
This essay examines a corpus of rarely studied writings produced by Clarice Lispector in the sixties. They are oftentimes texts published under the rubric “crônicas” that fail to accomplish what is expected of this genre. Resorting to the feminist new materialist theories articulated by Stacy Alaimo, Karen Barad, and Nancy Tuana, the analysis focuses on these “failed” texts, alongside the women’s pages crafted by Lispector, to argue that this failure can be seen as a cultural and political intervention that redefines the category of the human.
