The writing that leaks. Connections and links with experience

Abstract

This essay aims at problematizing academic writing, which is constructed by means of power and knowledge games that legitimate the homogenizing truth of writing practices and circumscribe the representational thought, thus establishing the subjects’ ways of being, thinking and living, by shaping and capturing subjectivities. In the confrontation of instituted forces, what are the possibilities of constituting oneself as an instituting, active and propelling force of living writing? This is neither a prescribed opportunity nor the indication of the best way of writing; rather, this effort is focused on the attempt of a converging look, disestablishing the way of looking at the familial, through experimentations that require permanent, attentive, self-transforming exercise. In order to perform such task, an approximation to Clarice Lispector’s writings about the desire for the writing experience has been tried.
