MARTINS, Diogo André Barbosa. Love’s shadowed elusiveness: (un)evidences in Alanis Morissette. Diacrítica [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.3, pp.203-233. ISSN 0807-8967.

We aim to interpret two lyrics by Alanis Morissette, including the music-video of one of them, in order to understand how the former visibility that confers discourse to its own communicability is able to produce unexpected meanings (the un-said between what is being said), in the crossovers intertwined between text, image and music. Since Alanis Morissette’s lyrics are known for their explicit autobiographical tone, how can the self at least feel accomplished by writing in an intimate mode, if intimacy, in Agamben’s terms, is defined by its pure singularity as a form of experience and thereby being absolutely untranslatable or irrepresentable?

Palabras clave : autobiography; becoming-scenery; voice; desire.
