Abstract

This paper aimed to analyse the movie Love for sale (2006), from the director Karim Aïnouz, highlighting the main character's, Hermila, construction, and her troubled relationship with the social space represented in the narrative. Issues like identity, belonging and identifications has been discussed by many theorists in post modernity, or late modernity. Stuart Hall (2000) (2006), Néstor Garcia Canclini (1997) and Mauro Wilton de Sousa (2010) discuss these notions relating them to the dynamics of a globalized world, where local and global issues create a complex dynamics which creates complex individuals. We tried to comprehend in which way  the fiction uses this panorama, not intending to create a non productive parallel, but to enrich itself promoting the dialogue between text and context (CANDIDO, 2006).
