O giz, o linóleo e a parede – breves considerações sobre uma cartografia do salto em A parede, de Elfriede Jelinek

Abstract

“Falling from our wall” invokes a collective denomination of an object that serves everyone, basically the female figures in the play and us. It appears as an object that gains affection from them because it affects them, with which they care, of which they use beyond measure to reach an end, which they reject when they don’t understand it. But The Wall also invokes the shattering of women, of any woman who sees herself reduced to image, whose reification cannot be freed and whose detachment as an image that time consecrates is suspended by inversion of function.
