The Hands, the Machines, Clarice Lispector
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
The relationship between hands and instruments allows us to understand why women have been more on the side of the body and men on the side of technique and technology. The emergence of each machine has only affirmed this distribution, so we can see it with the typewriters that impacted on the division of intellectual labor because women were limited to driving the machines, not registering their own creations. In this essay, I propose that these two drifts become complicated in Clarice Lispector’s writing, specifically in the character of Macabea in whom her imaginary and material course is interrupted.
