Considering Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector’s literature as a case study and a source of theory, IWriting by EarI presents an aural theory of the novel based on readings of INear to the Wild HeartI (1943), IThe Besieged CityI (1949), IThe Passion According to G.H.I (1964), IAgua VivaI (1973), IThe Hour of the StarI (1977), and IA Breath of LifeI (1978). What is the specific aesthetic for which listening-in-writing calls? What is the relation that listening-in-writing establishes with silence, echo, and the sounds of the world? How are we to understand authorship when writers present themselves as objects of reception rather than subjects of production? In which ways does the robust oral and aural culture of Brazil shape literary genres and forms? In addressing these questions, IWriting by EarI works in dialogue with philosophy, psychoanalysis, and sound studies to contemplate the relationship between orality and writing. _x000D_ Citing writers such as Machado de Assis, Oswald de Andrade and João Guimarães Rosa, as well as Mia Couto and Toni Morrison, IWriting By EarI opens up a broader dialogue on listening and literature, considering the aesthetic, ethical, and ecological reverberations of the imaginary. IWriting by EarI is concerned at once with shedding light on the narrative representation of listening and with a broader reconceptualization of fiction through listening, considering it an auditory practice that transcends the dichotomy of speech and writing.
