Assassinada
RESUMO:
ABSTRACT:
In Crônica da Casa Assassinada, Lúcio Cardoso intends to unravel the human condition
in depth by dramatizing the relationship between death and sexuality experienced by the
human being. In this article, I propose a reading of André's diary (one of the chronicles
inside the piece) in order to highlight the implications of death as a factor responsible
for dictating not only the progress of the plot, but also the experiences and feelings that
express the human condition in its most essential and definitive form. In order to do so,
I analyze the story of passion and death between Nina and André under the notions of
“inner experience” and “eroticism”, proposed by Georges Bataille, and also of
“community of lovers”, which was initially presented by Bataille, but later taken up by
Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot.
