Abstract

The article aims at the analysis of Torto arado, by Itamar Vieira Junior, in order to demonstrate that the novel produces sensitive effects of reality, despite the presence of uncommon elements, and simultaneously establishes a dialogue between the local and the universal. To this purpose, it uses the concept of affective realism, postulated by Karl Erik Schøllhammer (2012), which
identifies in contemporary literature inscriptions of the real that are distant from the historical and representative realism of the 19th and 20th centuries, which he defines as combinations between representation and non-representation.
