Abstract

This article aims to discuss the relationship of building spaces of marginality between the works O ano de 1993 (2007) published for the first time in 1974 and Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995) by José Saramago. The purpose unfolds in an attempt to seek the establishment of marginal spaces already in the first phase of Saramago’s work in 1975, still checking if this conception of space is maintained as a line of force after two decades of Ensaio sobre a cegueira, in 1995, in which Saramago had already been constituted long ago as the author of reference of the Portuguese language and established as canon, which according to BLOOM (1995, p.27-28) is defined as texts that vie immortality with each other and this choice can be made by various sectors of society such as education institutions, literary criticism and dominant social classes.
