Abstract

This paper analyzes how the identity of the "other" perceived as a destitute or marginalized subject is constructed in Folha de S. Paulo"™s World section. We worked with eight texts published by the newspaper in 2015, taking into account the relationship between narrators and characters. The methodology employed was Narrative Analysis, which helped us to identify the uses of particular, universal and singular categories, as well as allowed us to make considerations about the phenomenon of alterity and about the characters"™ modes of existence.
