José Saramago e a poética da Insubordinação

Abstract

In this essay, we analyze how characters are depicted and examine why, when and how the gestures of insubordination of reviser Raimundo Benvindo Silva occur. He is a simple man raised as protagonist of a story about History. Converging into an interdisciplinary interpretation, this article discusses boundaries between fictional and historiographic discourses based on assumptions of History Theory and Literary Criticism.
