Abstract

This work aims at studying the threshold concept according to the Russian thinker's Mikhail Bakhtin perspective. The threshold concept seems to be really complex for not being clearly defined by the Russian theoretical. In order to verify if the procedures described by Bakhtin as spaces of the threshold are productive in the literary writings, we applied the same ones in the Portuguese book by José Saramago, restricted to the spaces and dialogues thresholds. Based on this investigation, we verified, though partially due to the short space in this article, that besides the fact that the conception of the threshold is perfectly applicable in the literary works, and, consequently, in the saramaguiana work, we also identified that the novel that we studied posseses several moments which we can call threshold, such as dialogues, spaces or even actions. Finally, these facts lead us to understand that the writings of Bakhtin still have a lot to teach to their readers and studious, revealing concepts still little explored by the current critic.
