Abstract

This article analyzes the short story “A menor mulher do mundo” aiming to discuss how the narrative of the journalistic news coverage about the discover of a pygmy woman (considered as the smallest one in the world) in bourgeois homes presents important issues related to human feelings in families, and consequently reveals the way a modern individual sees a primitive one without purely emphasizing what makes them distant from each other.
