The main aim of this dissertation is the analysis of the senses of hunt in the novel A confissão da leoa, by Mia Couto, through the relation between the narrator, narrative and the writing act in itself, setting forth from the hypothesis that the hunting gains multiple meanings in the narrative, from statement to enunciation. At the statement level, all the characters are or belong to families of hunters and, on the enunciation plan, two enunciative processes cross in the narrative from the point of view of the narrator-characters Mariamar and Arcanjo Baleiro, the hunter. The relation between the senses of hunt and hunter is grounded in the correlations among four narrative plans: the versions of Mariamar, the hunter’s journal, the epigraphs and the author’s place, present and absent in the passages between them. The analysis had as its theoretical bases Bakhtin’s concepts of dialogy (1981; 2010), the concept of voice and performance of Paul Zumthor (2007; 2010), in addition to the critical studies of the narrator of Walter Benjamin and of the author, of Foucault. The theoretical intake on the literature of Mozambique is done mainly by the studies of Rita Chaves, Tania Macedo, Ana Mafalda Leite and Francisco Noa. The analysis has brought us to infer that between hunting and being hunted, the narrative act stablishes itself in the alterity between the voice and the performance of the griot and the writing, raising the crossing and the contamination of a mimetic thinking, anchored in the Mozambican tradition of incorporation from the hunt to the hunter, and of another thinking, of critical and rational basis, that notices there a metaphor of women's subordination in the Mozambican culture. This way, Mia Couto reinvents the everyday of the villages, recreating Mozambique through literary art
