Abstract

This essay presents a reading of the family environment as a sickening place for women in the short stories “Amor” and “Os laços de família”, from the collection Laços de família (1960), by Clarice Lispector. Taking the inaugural lecture idea as a starting point, proposed by Silviano Santiago, it is analyzed the displacement of women outside the family as an original mark of this masterpiece. Based on the concept of heterotopia, by Michel Foucault, the escape of the protagonist is identified as a questioning of the patriarchal oppression. In both stories, we have a woman in search of a heterotopia of her freedom.
