The former was condemned as a spurious literary form by literary criticism, for its referentiality and its intention to expose the truth about social reality were considered a mere consequence of censorship and political repression by the military dictatorship; it would have no place in a democratic regime. The latter continues to attract reporters who crave to escape from the "dictatorship of objectivity" they are subjected to when working for newspapers; it is described by Journalism researchers as a successful combination of reporting techniques and stylistic resources borrowed from literature. Through the analysis of the books Aracelli, meu amor (Jos? Louzeiro, 1976), Cora??es sujos (Fernando Morais, 2000) and Abusado: o dono do morro Dona Marta (Caco Barcellos, 2003), this study intends to show that both the nonfiction novel from the seventies and the new pieces of narrative reportage rely on fictionalising reality . For this purpose, it adopts a concept of mimesis as narrative configuration or the creation of a fictional time experience, proposed by authors such as Paul Ricoeur, K?te Hamburger, and Mikhail Bakhtin, among others. / Esta tese busca estabelecer uma rela??o entre o romance-reportagem brasileiro da d?cada de 1970 e o chamado livro-reportagem. O primeiro foi considerado um tipo esp?rio de literatura e teve sua morte decretada pela cr?tica liter?ria, pois sua referencialidade e seu car?ter de den?ncia seriam consequ?ncia direta da censura e da repress?o exercidas pela ditadura militar; o segundo n?o cessa de atrair rep?rteres que desejam escapar ? ditadura da objetividade a que s?o submetidos nos jornais, e ? descrito por pesquisadores da ?rea do Jornalismo como uma feliz combina??o de t?cnicas de apura??o jornal?stica e recursos estil?sticos tomados de empr?stimo ? literatura. Por meio da an?lise das obras Aracelli, meu amor (Jos? Louzeiro, 1976), Cora??es sujos (Fernando Morais, 2000) e Abusado: o dono do morro Dona Marta (Caco Barcellos, 2003), pretende-se mostrar que tanto o romance-reportagem quanto o livro-reportagem empreendem uma ficcionaliza??o do real. Para isso, adota-se uma concep??o de mimesis enquanto configura??o narrativa ou cria??o de uma experi?ncia temporal fict?cia, proposta por autores como Paul Ricoeur, K?te Hamburger e Mikhail Bakhtin, entre outros.
