Abstract

Built upon alternating subjective and objective sentences, Clarice Lispector's first chronicle about Brasília (published on Senhor, 1963) is like an architectural memorial, half way between personal style and public celebration, with external reference and aim. In the following editions (from 1970 Jornal do Brasil on) a sentence is missing about the "Estado totalitário"-like style of the city. Together with the omission of the sentence, its presentation as "invisible headline in the newspapers" is omitted. With censorship invisibility disappears, like the inexisting statues which Clarice celebrates as a catch-phrase.
