Linguagem e duração: a literatura como facilitadora do conhecimento filosófico em Bergson

Abstract

This dissertation aims to investigate, in a set of works by Henri Bergson (1859-1941), the influences of art on his theories about duration and language, seeking as a solution the use of writing techniques or styles that overcome the crystallisation of meanings and conceptualisms of traditional philosophical writing. By analysing authors such as Clarice Lispector and Lygia Fagundes Telles, we will seek to understand how stream of consciousness can be an effective alternative for the transparency of content similar to that proposed by this philosopher, bringing the reader closer to understanding duration and enriching their daily experience.
