In the present paper I analyze therelationship among the allegory, the concept desrealization and the subject of the death that articulated, are a representation of the torture in the shortstory “Garopaba mon amour”. Recurrent subject in the 1970s literature, the violence is taking in the short-story in question, as an event that catches a troubled moment in Brazilian history – the context of the military dictatorship – and from the construction of a narrative shattered/fragmented makes the short-story a document memory, trauma and shock experience (chokerlebnis) are articulated in the constitution of a text that can be read as an violence allegory.Downloads
