Crossing the exile sea and landing on a anguist and homesickness pier: these are essential movements of memorialist writing of Miguel Torga (Trás-os-Montes, 1907 – Coimbra, 1995), when he recollects the life experience that kept him in Brazil for six years. In A Criação do Mundo: second day ([1937] 1969), Torga retrieve the reasons of his departure and permanency at his uncles’ farm, in Minas Gerais. Already in A Criação do Mundo: six day ([1981] 1996) and in Diário VII ([1956] 2010), well describes his restlessness of a way back trip to “captivity” of his adolescence in mature age, where the feelings of the adult boils in the reencounter with the homeland that accommodate him. In these turbulent journeys, that take place inside his memories narratives and notes from the days he rediscovers Brazil, the writer revels the anguish and the homesickness of the Brazilian exile, as well as shows a different poetic self in the three stories: one time involved by hostility, and another open to feelings. Facing these ideas, the main objective of our research is to analyze the construction of Brazilian exile of Miguel Torga in his memorialist narratives, especially A Criação do Mundo: second and sixth days and Diário VII. As specific objectives, we intend to investigate which personal, social and historical characteristics that shape this person that lived as an exiled, verify the subjects from the uprooting: the emigration and the between-place of the belonging and investigate the constitution of a Brazilian autobiographical space of these works. In order to understand these analyzes, we will take as theoretical contribution the ideas about exile proposed by Edward Said (2003, 2005) e Tzvetan Todorov (1999), as well as the thoughts around the authobiographical genres of Georges Gusdorf (1948), Philippe Lejeune ([1975] 2014), Clara Rocha (1997), among other thinkers. From our study, we conclude that Miguel Torga, by remembering his Brazilian exile in the three narratives, builds a unique autobiographical space, with reflections about himself and the social constitution imposed by the brazilian experience.
