Resumo: Space and character are two narrative categories that can establish a very pronounced relationship with each other, which will give rise to a series of expressive possibilities in a narrative. Osman Lins (1976) recognizes this relationship, reporting that the limit between space and character can be wavering, requiring our discernment. The object of study of this thesis is the series Alice (2008-2010), by Karim Aïnouz and Sérgio Machado, that presents this relationship in its basic premise: after her father's suicide, the title character who lives in Palmas with her grandmother and brother, has to go to São Paulo, where she lived as a child, for the funeral. Seduced by the city and the memories it holds, Alice ends up staying in the capital of São Paulo and leaving behind the life she had built in Tocantins. In this work, we aimed to analyze how working with the narrative space constructs a series of other issues that end up influencing the protagonist's trajectory. The dynamics of the city, which presents itself almost as a character in the plot, ends up producing fundamental conditions for the development of Alice. Places, non-places (AUGÉ, 2002) rethorical tropes (CERTEAU, 1998), identity and belonging (HALL, 2000) are some of the notions that come from space and that present themselves as important issues for Alice's narrative economy. In our analysis process, we could not ignore the fact that we are working with an audiovisual product, which requires us to be aware of the specifics of the language. Therefore, we used authors like Gerárd Betton (1987), Marcel Martin (2003) and Jean Epstein (1947) as theoretical support. In addition, Alice is a television series and the media also needed to be taken into account in our investigation. The serial organization of the narrative (MACHADO, 1999) directly influences its making, the construction of the narrative arcs that compose it and also the development of the characters. Narrative complexity (CAPANEMA, 2016; MITTEL, 2012) and quality on television (BORGES, 2004) are also some of the points that permeated our discussion. Finally, when trying to understand the narrative structures of our object, the dialogue (BAKHTIN, 1997; BARROS, 1997) established with other works is fundamental, notably with Lewis Carroll's novels, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (2010) and Alice through the looking glass (2010).
