RESUMO
This abstract presents an investigation of how the representation of the national image is established in brazilian literature, a period in literature when Romanticism and Modernism were the most remarkable. My aim is to investigate if it is possible to have closure to this cycle, since the project Amores Expressos (Companhia das Letras/RT Features) seems to indicate, the nation no longer occupies the center of a signifying system in our literature. The idea is to examine in the first novels published by the project - Cordilheira - (2008), by Daniel Galera, O filho da mãe (2009), by Bernardo Carvalho, and Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você (2009), by Luiz Ruffato, which are set, respectively in Buenos Aires, Saint Petersburg and Lisbon.how the representation of the local reality and of a unified and homogeneous identity make space for a cosmopolitan representation of a world in which identities are going through a crisis.
