Sobre "A via crucis do corpo" de Clarice Lispector.

Olá, Olá! Esse daqui foi lido após "a paixão segundo g.h." (o qual eu já fiz um post aqui, e não pretendo fazer outros, apesar do conteúdo do livro ser muito vasto e não se abstém apenas ao existencialismo). Mas de qualquer forma, ambos trazem a mesma sensação - pelo menos pra mim - de estar exposta, mas exposta de uma forma não vulnerável; mas é íntimo demais, é cru, quase como um reconhecimento e autoconhecimento.

Em A via crucis do corpo, são vários contos eróticos, e eu quero dizer eróticos no significado real das palavras desejo sexual, não é pornografico. Nesse aspecto, traz várias personagens femininas, tendo que lidar com esse desejo, num social que reprime muito e julga, tendo que lidar com os limites do corpo. Então, na maioria desses cenários de desejo, a satisfação deles é permeado por uma melancólia, vergonha e uma solidão dolorida e real. São situações que toda mulher passa e vai passar um dia, porque não se limita a ideia de juventude, mas tem contos que levam para esse lado da velhice, e alguns outros aspectos que eu prefiro não citar aqui e deixar na mistério. Eu escolhi dois contos pra elucidar essa ideia.

• Miss Algrave

A senhora Ruth Algrave é uma senhora extremamente conservadora. Durante a narração do seu dia a dia, esse aspecto fica bastante claro. Ela repudiava, quase como um desejo mascarado por aquilo que ele nunca teve, o que significa viver como um ser humano que possui necessidades normais:

"Nunca entrava num pub: nauseava-a o cheiro de álcool, quando passava por um. Sentia-se ofendida pela humanidade."

Essa postura fechada reflete até mesmo sobre o próprio corpo dessa mulher, quase como se fosse uma peça que não deve ser explorada, cuidada, tocada:

"Tomava banho só uma vez por semana, no sábado. Para não ver o seu corpo nu, não tirava nem as calcinhas nem o sutiã."

Mas num sábado esse comportamento muda por uma estranha e quase onírica situação:

Ela estava deitada, a janela aberta e, em algum momento, ela sente uma presença no quarto. Não era necessariamente um homem, era um enviado de saturno para amá-la, assim como nas palavras do "intruso" ao se identificar; o nome dado a ele é Ixtlan.

O que decorre após isso é narrado como a perda dessa "santidade" ou virgindade. A sensação descrita pela senhora Algrave é do mais sublime prazer. E ela declara amor para essa critura, enche-se de orgulho por agora ter um "homem".

É o descobrimento de um desejo reprimido. O descobrimento do corpo, e de todas as sensações que o "sexo" poderia proporcionar.

A partir disso, é como se esse ato tão sujo abrisse os olhos dela pra todo o mundo obsceno que ela rejeitava e ela se torna outra pessoa, uma merertriz.

• Ruído de passos

É sobre uma senhora de oitenta anos - Cândida Raposo. Essa mulher tinha o "desejo do prazer" mesmo com essa idade. E ela procura um médico porque é inaceitável que com essa idade ela ainda tivesse a necessidade desse tipo de sensação.

O que o médico diz pra ela é que isso "não tinha cura" e que ela teria que lidar com isso. E a senhora Raposo sente-se tão desesperada, porque com essa idade ninguém mais queria ela, e não tinha outra solução.

Até que após a consulta ela vai para casa e tenta dar um alívio pra esse desejo de prazer. A cena dessa solução é descrita como "mudos fogos de artifícios" ; mas logo depois a culpa e vergonha recai sobre essa mulher. E ela sabia que toda vez que se satisfizesse seria triste, solitário e vergonhoso até que a morte daria um fim nisso. Morte essa que veio pra ela tempos depois, pela audição de ruído de passos, passos do marido dela - Antenor Raposo.

I feel like Sam really needs a break and i’m not sure she’s going to get one. Doesn’t seem like she can go back to Perth and I feel like with them missing out in the Asian Cup she’ll go back to Chelsea and play a lot and then go to the Algraves cup and play. Girl needs a break everyone else had seen their family.

i’m not sure she’s going to get one either. But honestly sometimes going back to your club is the best thing for you in the situation she’s in. She even said that herself about going back to Chicago after the WC.

I do hope she seems her family soon though. It’s so tough.

Concept Idea

Gina Algrave, moody, self-absorbed teen with mysterious, loving, but aloof businessy parents stumbles onto a deck of playing cards in her father’s study while her parents are away on business. Again.

She’s bored and suffering from sticky fingers, so she swiped the deck to play with.

The deck is alive.

More to the point, she realized quickly that every time she draws a card, it’s something insane and completely different. One has an image of a fireball and sets the den on fire. One creates a fog bank in the kitchen. One summons cows. That’s all. Cows. In the den. Like, a dozen of them.

Every time she shuffles the deck and looks through it, the cards are different. She takes them out back and stacks the deck with the cool fireball card on top, but when she draws it and flings it, she gets cake, or a pile of keys, or giant wasps. She never, ever gets the card she wants.

And then there’s the mouse that keeps trying to talk to her. It appeared when she grabbed the deck. It says it goes with the deck. The mouse got the cards because to use them you have to have quick, small, subtle movements, just like a master magician. Just like the two master magician superheroes that protect the city that look suspiciously like her parents.

At this point, Gina just rolls with what the mouse is saying. She just opened a portal to the Ocean in the backyard with a card and spent five minutes frantically trying to close it, so yeah. Talking mouse. Not the strangest thing to happen.

She has a day with the mouse and figures some things out. She figures out the whole routine as best she can, because a magician’s “act” can only be triggered by the right moves and words. She makes a tuxedo appear, complete with mask and top hat. She’s told she has heightened everything, but she still has trouble doing the whole walking and texting thing, so maybe not so much. She tries to figure out how to use the deck like a magician would, but, well, she sucks. She has zero coordination, her hands shake slightly, and she can’t figure out even the most basic sleight-of-hand card trick. She ignored her dad when he would try to teach her tricks and instead focused on pursuing a music career, even though she never practiced her guitar. And she wasn’t good at it.

But then her parents go missing on TV. She watches them during a live broadcast as they’re fighting their nemesis, an evil magician villain, and they get sucked into a wormhole thingy and just poof. Gone.

And she can’t tell anyone, because that would reveal their identities.

So, it’s just her, and a deck of cards that seems to fucking hate her, and a mouse that spits out instructions like a broken NPC in an old N64 game.

And she’s up against evil magicians, each with their own magical artifact. One might have a coat that they can pull anything out of, while another might have magic gloves. Her mother had a hat, and her father had cufflinks. The big baddie uses a wand, while her assistant sports a ring. Each has a magic-act related helper (rabbit, dove, etc.)

So it’s Gina stuck in a role she can’t handle against people far better at this than she is with what is apparently one of the most powerful magical artifacts in existence. And it’s bonded to her, whether she likes it or not.

Thoughts? Readers of my stuff will know exactly what I’m pulling from, but this feels doable.

Lewis Hamilton Inches Closer To Monumental Record With 97th Pole; 1st For Portuguese GP!

In a country obsessed with soccer, it’s not always that FORMULA 1 makes headlines. So if there was going to be anyone to cause a change in narrative, then it had to be Lewis Hamilton in his buoyant Mercedes, the car that he’s driven akin to a man possessed to excel come what may.

But in storming to a 97th career pole, although his first (that too, in his maiden appearance at the venue) at Portugal, Lewis Hamilton, and his Mercedes team held little for the rest of the grid in exhibiting usual excellence, this time at the Portimao-bound Algrave circuit, home to the returning Portuguese Grand Prix.

Not that this was anyways a startling result given the fact that this year alone, Hamilton’s clinched 9 in 12 qualifying battles. But given that it wasn’t Lewis Hamilton but teammate Valtteri Bottas who had been fastest all throughout before being usurped by the Briton made the six-time world champion’s feat truly worthy of applause.

Now, just one race win is needed by Lewis Hamilton to overtake none other than the great Michael Schumacher to set arguably the greatest as also the most daunting F1 record ever: most race wins in the sport.

Should the returning Portuguese GP do that on Sunday, which is but a few hours away, it would be a brilliant feat. And not only because the outcome will uphold the triumph of a man who deserves to succeed, given his awe-inspiring consistency (7 wins in 11 races in 2020) but that the Portuguese GP, returning to the FORMULA 1 World Championship after two and a half decades would script a famous slice of F1 history.

Hamilton excelled courtesy a sudden burst of speed in the final flying lap seconds from the end of the final session, going at express pace to register a lap time of 1:16:652.

What was most interesting in this feat was that the Mercedes driver beat his teammate by a margin as tiny as 0.101 seconds at the end of an unpredictable session, where at one stage, it even seemed Red Bull’s Max Verstappen might clinch the pole.

Bottas, meanwhile had to contend with being the second-best again, having recently courted headlines for his bold but honest remarks, “I am better than Lewis.”

Nonetheless, central to the 2020 Portuguese GP’s quali session were the following 5 talking points:

Familiar midfield tussles

While there were gains for the likes of Perez of Racing Point, who at 1:17:223 bagged P5 (beating his teammate in qualifying), and Carlos Sainz of McLaren, who courtesy his 1:17:520 got P7, the Portuguese GP also unfurled familiar performances by the likes of Lando Norris, in the other McLaren (the Briton bagging a P8).

Alexander Albon, meanwhile, who’s had a mixed bag of a season, despite a fine debut podium earlier on in 2020, had to contend for P6, not the most ideal grid position, especially since driving the same machine, Max clinched a second-row start.

But that Pierre Gasly in his AT01 Alpha Tauri beat none other than Daniel Ricciardo, courtesy his P9, must avidly highlight that the Frenchman is still holding the fort, despite experiencing a little dip in performance since his Monza win.

Charles Leclcerc’s sensational drive for P4

A driver who punched above his weight yet again, driving not the strongest machine (in fact, the fans have run out of adjectives to determine their dissonance with Ferrari) was Charles Leclerc, who went fourth-fastest at the Portimao-bound venue.

Leclerc, whose last three race results read P7 at Nurburgring, followed by a P6 at Sochi, and a P8 at Mugello, has done the bulk of the scoring for the Maranello team, scoring 63 of Ferrari’s 80 points this season.

That the Portuguese GP would be Charles’ first, just like the rest of the grid, should in no way undermine the fact that despite having zero experience of driving around the 4.65-km long track, the Monegasque kept at it, and held his nerve to collect a vital fourth.

Can he now score some useful points once again and continue to keep Ferrari’s hopes high of salvaging something from an awful year?

Woeful by the usual backmarkers

Was it all that surprising to note that those who failed to make it to Q2, and therefore, needless to say, also missed the bus for Q3, were the usual suspects: Kimi Raikkonen, in P16, finishing ahead of teammate Giovinazzi, followed by Grosjean, Magnussen, and Latifi?

Much of the season completed thus far has unfurled a similar result anyways. But truth be told, even as Grosjean beat his teammate in the 2020 Portuguese GP quali, it would do little to out turn the sadness in noting that none of the two drivers are going to be with Haas come 2021, as announced a day ago.

George does it again

George Russell, in his P14, drove an absolutely determined lap as he became the only Williams car to make it to Q2, at a time where even Sebastian Vettel, a four-time world champion couldn’t get it right (once again) in Q2.

The young British driver, who scored a lap time of 1:17:788 beat the two Alfa Romeos, his Williams teammate, and the two Haas’, again.

What a mighty talent young George is, right?

Will Daniel Ricciardo be all that happy?

Probably, the only disappointing performance, besides Stroll, being down in P12, having seen better results earlier, was Renault’s Ricciardo, the man who captured the elusive Renault podium, a fortnight ago.

The famous Honeybadger, in his P10, got not only got bettered by Gasly, the Frenchman driving a slower car when compared to the RS20, but that the Aussie only just finished ahead of teammate Ocon (P11) showed Daniel’s troubles in coming to terms with a track where none can really be blamed.

No one, as it is, has driven at the Portimao-based Algrave track earlier in Formula 1. This also explains why Sunday’s Grand Prix contest could just become a saga of sorts.

The track has already challenged drivers with its undulating surface design with tricky elevation changes. So who will become the toast of the Football-obsessed land on Sunday showing imperious F1 skills?

Lewis, the onus is on you to deliver, sir.
