“…Their "cultural cannibalism" proposes an assertion of a multiple and protean identity for Brazil rather than a (post-)colonial one either imitative of or reactive to European models.

Clarice Lispector's concern with writing life beyond the limits of identity and representation leads her to posit the univocity of being in a series of surprising corporeal and linguistic gestures to reveal a fundamental shift in time. I explore the convergence between this project in Lispector and both major and minor terms in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (from "encounter" and "immanence" to "savage" and "birth"), shedding light on some fundamental aspects of the latter's transcendental empiricism. Furthermore, focusing especially on the 1973 fiction Água Viva, I show that Lispector's work insists on impersonal life's relational condition, which extends to the creation of an original reader-writer relationship, through a mode of receptivity beyond meaning in which feminine and natal approaches are crucial.
