Descripción
Sumario:Through a reading towards understanding the implications of the conflict between feelings of hatred and compassion, this article intends to discuss the social violence resulting from the authoritarianism present in any social regime. The analysis of the stories in Terreno de uma Polegada Quadrada by Samuel Rawet (Still once dead, Under a beautiful May sky, An afternoon in April, Reinvenção de Lázaro and Lisbon at night) reflects melancholy as an element of critical possibility within a exclusionary and authoritarian system.
