Abstract

This article aims to observe the images of identities made by contemporary literature from the narrative construction that supports a dynamic approach to memory and one of its primary constituents for the development of the being, the imagination. In this way, there will be a reading of Terra sonâmbula and of Um rio chamado tempo, uma casa chamada terra, both novels by the mozambican writer Mia Couto. The paper is part of a set of reflections that brings to discussion the issue of representation of the subject, structures and situations that punctuate the relationship of the being with time and that make up his universe marked by otherness in relation to the construction of the character in the contemporary novel. The approach to character, from that perspective, can only happen by hermeneutics demanded by narrative praxis, that is, from the original situationality of the man along the way of recognition of  himself in its personal, social and historical universe.
