RESUMO

The travel texts are a mark for the history of Latin America, and, consequently, the literature and the writers from there. This work analyses if the travel still a recurring theme in contemporary latin america literature. In this narratives the displacement and the mobility are relevant characteristics, that some thinkers consider as a brand of the contemporanity. The latin american writers feel it in a diferent way? It is still possible to detected remnants and legacies of the tradition of travel accounts in contemporary production? To think about that, four fictionalized travel diaries were analyses, from brazilian and argentine writers: Una luna, from Martín Caparrós; Nove noites, from Bernardo Carvalho; Mis dos mundos, from Sergio Chejfec, and Lorde, from João Gilberto Noll. In all of them the character seems like the author of the book, and go to other countries in a work travel. Like many travel texts that marks the latin america, there is an other that estimulate the displacement. The construction of a writer figure, the place of the latin america writer in the contemporary world are some recurring themes of those narratives.
