At the beginning of the second semester of 2007 we started our work plan development Culture and Counterculture in Clarice Lispector (from 1970 to nowadays) as scientific researchers in initiation for PIBIC/CNPq. Our research studies the book The Hourof The Star (1977), by Clarice Lispector, taking the theoretical-critic bases from the Cultural Studies and the Comparative Literature Studies. The main aims are: discuss the writers novel through the real Brazilian cultural context in the 1970s, think about the relationship between literature and culture through the Cultural Studies and make a cultural reading on the works of the intellectual writer based on the counterculturalcontext at that time. We critically read the writers works and some specialized books which helped us raise hypotheses, all proved during the research, about the creative process of the culture object in its social, historical and ideological scene. It is worth pointing out that as the hypotheses were being proved, we did some scientific studies which are already published in books, national and international magazines. Finally, our studies suggest that the analysed work proposes a critical review not only about the moment under discussion, but mainly about all Clarice Lispectors previous creation. In other words, her last creation offers us a critical review about her modernistic previous books.
