This dissertation investigates the conception of history in Machado de Assis' literature and thinking on literature, seeking to demonstrate how they set up the possibility of anonymous people being considered subjects of history. Asserting the equality of the indifference, they question the core of the conception of history of the 19th century Brazilian historians. According to them, there is history because there is inequality, because there are men who are worth of eternal memory and lives destined to oblivion. Claiming the "principle of any representable" and making equal the distinguished and the anonymous, Machado de Assis refused a partition of the sensible which gives each one its own place: for national literature, national themes; for history, the distinguished man. Stablishing a "thinking of the new disorder" (Jacques Rancière), Assis' work admits to turn into objects of history and literature those that, by definition, were once excluded: the anyone, and the anything.
