Abstract

The theme of this brief introduction to the work of Luiz Ruffato are the narrative artifices that can give shape to the popular Brazilian and contemporary material worked by the author. If the tradition of proletarian literature goes back a long way, it is the changes seen in the world of work, as well as the growing social anomie caused by unemployment, that restructure the very way of narrating. In the Ruffatian text we have the latent concern of continuing to narrate what is known as the Brazilian people, however, here we try to demonstrate how this social restructuring gives another rhythm and order to the narrative and what are the many impasses found in the economy of the work in the transposition of the contemporary to literary virtuality.
