Summary: In this text I analyze three travel reports-essays-chronicles produced in the 1990s and in the beginning of the 21th Century by the north american writer David Foster Wallace as in between Literary Journalism and contemporary Sociology. The corpus is read from the idea of non-place, as developed by Augé (1994). As results, I point out that the writer on focus performing as journalist and ethnographer has captured some significant symptoms of the contemporary world.

Nossa tese configura-se pela ideia segundo a qual tais textos são fruto do cruzamento entre o Jornalismo Literário e a antropologia do contemporâneo. Assim, a leitura apresentada sobre o corpus dirigiu-se, primordialmente, pelo conceito de não-lugar tal como desenvolvido por Augé (1994). Como resultado, em linhas gerais, tem-se que o escritor, ao atuar como jornalista e etnógrafo, captou sintomas significativos do mundo contemporâneo, tendo-os interpretado na fronteira dinâmica entre jornalismo, literatura e etnografia.Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2014-12-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/2519610.5433/1678-2054.2014v28p42Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 28 (2014): Jornalismo e Literatura; 42-52Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 28 (2014): Jornalismo e Literatura; 42-52Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 28 (2014): Jornalismo e Literatura; 42-521678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/25196/18436Copyright (c) 2014 Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoelho, Lilian Reichert2024-10-21T14:57:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/25196Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2024-10-21T14:57:19Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
