Abstract

The contemporaneity of works of literature is a subject matter of great interest to scholars and presents itself as an extremely complex issue mainly due to the difficulty in defining what contemporary really is. Under the framework of Giorgio Agamben’s theory on the topic, this article analyses two texts written during the last decade: Joana, a short story from the book Você vai voltar pra mim, written by Bernardo Kucinski, and Quarenta dias, by Maria Valéria Rezende. The purpose of this article is to observe crosspoints between the two narratives and to understand how the characters from both stories are built. To understand such analysis, the focus will be people’s movement within the city.
