His novels, despite imaginative, are impregnated with intrusions and comments. Would these intrusions, a trait of Saramago s fictional prose, be a result of the mixed genre? Our corpus is O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis. A novel narrated by different voices, all subordinated to the dominant editorial omniscience. This fact aroused questions related to the authorial presence in Saramago s prose. So, it became necessary to undertake an extensive bibliographical study including books, papers and the author works, as well. Investigations were led on literary theory referring to the author, the narrator, the mixed genre and the essay. The study was divided into three parts. The first one was dedicated to reflect on the hermeneutic, the historical studies and the novel criticism. The concepts proposed by Eco, Jameson, and others, were of assistance. The second part was dedicated to the mixed genre, especially between the novel and the essay. Sennet and Adorno s studies provided subsidies. In the third part, themes related to the author and the narrator were addressed. Booth with the implicit-author, and Friedman s typology of point-of-view were of guidance. The relevance of our research lies on the few studies dedicated to the theme. A last investigation aims to understand, whether his literary stile represents a uniqueness. Thus, by means of conclusion, his style is rather a rhetorical one, that lies down its roots at an old tradition of intellectual-writers / Esta pesquisa é dedicada ao estudo das marcas autorais na prosa ficcional de José Saramago. Seus romances, apesar de imaginativos, estão impregnados de intrusões e comentários. Seriam essas intrusões resultado da confluência de gêneros, presente no texto saramaguiano? O corpus deste estudo é o romance O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis. Nele, o autor subordina diversas vozes narrativas, a voz do autor-narrador intruso. Esse fato coloca a indagação sobre ser essa voz uma marca autoral. Para compreendê-la, procedeu-se a ampla pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, artigos e no conjunto de sua obra principalmente. Assim, investigou-se questões relativas ao autor, ao narrador, ao hibridismo de gêneros e ao ensaio. Dividimos o trabalho em três partes. A primeira, dedicada ao estudo da interpretação textual, à historiografia e à análise do romance. Empregaram-se estudos de teóricos como U. Eco, F. Jameson, entre outros. Na segunda parte, tratou-se do hibridismo de gêneros, especialmente com relação ao ensaio. Para tal, foi importante a contribuição de teóricos como Sennet e Adorno. Na terceira parte, discutiu-se questões relativas ao autor e ao narrador. Aqui, foram valiosas as contribuições de Booth e o autor-implícito, de Friedman, cuja tipologia do narrador serviu de balizamento. A importância deste trabalho está no fato do pouco estudo realizado sobre o estatuto dessa voz autoral em Saramago. Seu objetivo último é indagar sobre ser esse estilo algo inovador e único. Concluiu-se, ao final, tratar-se de uma prosa retórica, que deita raízes em uma longa tradição de autores comentadores.

We all have stories to share, to build, to pass around, to inherit, and to create. This story - the one I piece together now - is about a Thai-/Bengali-/Muslim-/American-/Feminist looking for home, looking to manage the tension and conflict of wanting to belong to her family and to her feminist community. This thesis focuses on the seemingly conflicting obligations to kinship on the one hand and to feminist practice on the other, a conflict where being a good scholar or activist is directly in opposition to being a good Asian daughter. In order to understand how and why these communities appear at odds with one another, I examine how the material spaces and psychological realities inhabited by specific hyphenated, fragmented subjects are represented (and misrepresented) in both popular culture and practical politics, arguing against images of the hybrid body that bracket its lived tensions. I argue that fantasies of home as an unconditional site of belonging and comfort distract us from the multiple communities to which hyphenated subjects must move between. Hyphenated Asian-/American bodies often find ourselves torn between nativism and assimilationism - having to neutralize, forsake, or discard parts of our identities. Thus, I reduce complicated, difficult ideas of being to the size of a thimble, to a question of loyalty between my Asian-/American history and my American-/feminist future, between my familial background and the issues that have become foregrounded for me during college, between the home from which I originate and the new home to which I wish to belong. To move with fluidity, I must - in collaboration with others - invent new stories of identity and belonging.
