Abstract

This article refers to themes such as the displaced subject and the relationship with otherness in Clarice Lispector's The hour of the star (1977). Firstly, it will approach the issue of a deviant or dislocated subject according to a psychoanalytical perspective. The narrator Rodrigo S. M. puts himself in ther margins of his society and Macabéa is an excluded character par excellence. In addition to that, both are presented as off-centered subjects. Secondly, the relationship between the "I" and the "other" will be analyzed, especially concerning the conflictive relationship between Rodrigo S. M. and Macabéa in its ethical implications.
