Abstract

This thesis consists of: a) a set of theoretical reflections on the relations between Literature and History concepts. It proposes an approach to articulate them in the writing and reading of contemporary novels; b) a mediation that proposes criticism as a space for the emergence of present day Literature; c) an interventional reading of three contemporary Brazilian novels. The thesis explores elements for discussing literary value as an interplay between invention, in language level, and intervention, in the imaginary level. (AU)
