Abstract

IN THIS ARTICLE, I DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OF FICTIONAL REPRESENTATION AS I STUDY AND COMPARE TWO CONTEMPORARY NOVELS: OS PAPÉIS DO INGLÊS (2000), BY RUY DUARTE DE CARVALHO, AND NOVE NOITES (2002), BY BERNARDO CARVALHO. BOTH WRITERS PROBLEMATIZE THE OBJECTIVITY EXPECTED FROM ETHNOGRAPHIC DISCOURSE AS WELL AS FROM REALISTIC NOVELS, AS THEY RESORT TO SIMILAR NARRATIVE STRATEGIES. AS A RESULT THEY BOYCOTT A PARADIGM OF REALISTIC REPRESENTATION THAT WAS STRONGLY MAINTAINED IN BOTH DISCURSIVE DOMAINS DURING THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
