Modernity, Fiction, Favela, NarrationAbstract
Study of Paulo Lins’s narrative Cidade de Deus, aiming at the questions “how does its text relate to the critical building of Brazilian modernity?” and “how does it get to sustain itself as an autonomous universe of the extra-fi ctional?”. In spite of having close relations with the external reality, it acquires value as a fi ctional work because of its formal components such as: the narrative space design, the narrator’s speech, the infl uence on the ethnographic approach, and the popular language, and their slang structures.References
