City, vampires and identity: a reading of The night doesn't Let me sleep: by Camila Fernandes

Abstract

In a sociological reading of The night does not Let me sleep (2018), we will explore the ambiguity present in the tale that, just as Piglia (2004) points out as a striking feature of the genre, narrates two stories by merging the real with the fantastic, ranging from a Lover frustrated by abandonment to the bearer of a mysterious curse. To analyze the verbal game, as observed by Bosi (1974), present in the narrative that updates the vampire archetype according to the permutability of the theme (HUMPHREYS, 2018), we will resort to the vision of Hall (1992), on the fragmentation of the identity of the post-subjectand Bauman (2004), in reference to the troubled sexual relationships present in the narrative, besides Auge (1994) and Benjamin (1987), in the discussions about the spaces and their representation in the autodiegetic conflicts narrated in the tale.
