Trata-se de uma tentativa de identificar, nessa obra literária, alguns elementos que caracterizam o hibridismo cultural, analisando-os a partir dos referenciais teóricos dos estudos históricos e sociológicos. Dentre os temas de estudo da linguagem literária e das interpretações sociológicas no romance A Terra do Fogo, destacam-se a história da colonização da América e o processo de hibridização, pelo qual o romance se constitui. Considerando a necessidade de narrar uma nova versão dessa história, Iparraguirre, em A Terra do Fogo, apresenta a dupla face da Patagônia no século XIX. De um lado, a extensão austral da região, ligada ao mapa da nação; de outro, o seu território, desligado do poder político e administrativo da Confederação Argentina, o que possibilitava que o império britânico tomasse posse desse espaço, sendo assim reconhecido como um agente que inaugura a região. A mistura cultural gerada pelo povo nativo e os recém chegados sugere o se entende como cultura hibrida. Nessa direção, as manifestações culturais oriundas dessa mistura são, contemporaneamente, denominadas também hibridas e nelas inclui-se a literatura.  A leitura da obra A Terra do Fogo possibilitou refletir sobre o processo de colonização, a partir do olhar do subalterno, apresentando, ao mesmo tempo, duas culturas que se entrecruzam, a dos nativos da Patagônia e a dos ingleses, decorrendo desse entrecruzamento uma cultura hibrida.

In this paper, we are especially interested in the relationship between identity and its representation as a discursive production. The identity refers to a set of own characteristics for those the subject is recognizable and known in society, while the subject is constructed by the speeches that forms itself. Thus, under the bias of Discourse Analysis and considering the perspective of Cultural Studies, we will observe the speech about the identity of genre in some strips of Muriel, a character created by Laertes, a cartoonist who in 2009 adopted the practice of crossdressing. The choice for this subject was mainly motivated by the current thematic aspects exposed in the strips, for mobilizing various discourses and discuss, through art and humor, a remarkable and controversial experience in our society. Our goal is to observe in which ways their strips reveal a need for exposure, information and affirmation about a certain identity practice, and from that, examine the discursive practices that constitute - and also contribute -  to an specific identity. We understand that Laertes’ personal experience has motivated the discourse conveyed in his recent work.

It is also mentioned aspects related to the emergence of fantastic and the reasons of its existence. To verify this element in the narrative, it is required a strange or supernatural event and, also, the hesitation of the reader and of a character. Besides, this kind of narrative involves a certain way of interpretation – the way that the reader faces the events presented by the story contributes to support the fantastic. After these considerations, it is presented a thorough analysis of the short story “Sonata”, which has music as a guide and presents the point of view of its main character, who is not named.

ORDER AND DISORDER: THE DIALECTIC OF TRICKERY IN "OSCARINA"

Marques Rebelo adopts the suburban areas of the city of Rio de Janeiro as a privileged space to situate his narratives, choosing individuals who represent the lower classes of society as characters. These characters, given the precarious nature of their condition, living in border situation between order and disorder, oscillate between hope and disillusion, sometimes glimpsing the remote possibility of upward mobility, now threatened by the fear of poverty and marginality. By doing this, the writer puts into scene two different social worlds living side by side and peacefully: those who seek to live according to the values ​​of the bourgeois social order and those who transgress the laws and moral principles and live by artifices and illegal means. This article examines some aspects of the short story "Oscarina", trying to understand how the worlds of order and disorder, or work and trickery are configured in narrative form through the trajectory of the character Jorge, the protagonist of the story. We seek to demonstrate that the boundaries between the two supposedly antagonistic universes are eventually diluted by the movement of the protagonist, who moves between the two spaces, which communicate and intertwined dialectically.
