O ESPELHO EM CONTOS DE MACHADO, CRULS E ROSA

Abstract

In the light of literary criticism, David Roas' studies on the fantastic genre, Tim Ingold and Heideigger's conception of thing, as well as Emanuelle Coccia's ideas about sensible life, this work intends to observe in three homonymous tales, entitled “The mirror”, by Gastão Cruls, Machado de Assis and Guimarães Rosa, what an effect the mirror, as a thing, comes to produce in the introduction of the stranger into the narrative and its role in the construction of the fantastic genre.
