The theoretical part is based on the studies of Fredric Jameson, David Harvey and Steven Connor with the purpose of understanding the discontinuity which the characters try to escape. In this first part, the idea of waning of affect, the problem of change of perspective in relation to time and space witnessed in postmodernism, as well as metafiction are discussed. Finally, the novel written by Douglas Coupland is analyzed, establishing relations between the construction of the characters and the narrative itself trying to demonstrate how the author tackled the issue of fragmentation in the late capitalist society. / O presente estudo analisa o problema da nostalgia por uma hist?ria completa, com in?cio, meio e fim, em uma ?poca marcada pela fragmenta??o, em Generation X: Tales for an accelerated culture, de Douglas Coupland. Com base nos estudos de Fredric Jameson, David Harvey e Steven Connor ? feito um percurso te?rico com a finalidade de entender a descontinuidade da qual as personagens tentam escapar. Nessa primeira etapa do trabalho ? discutido a ideia de esmaecimento dos afetos, do problema da mudan?a de perspectiva em rela??o ao tempo e ao espa?o presenciado na p?s-modernidade e a respeito da metafic??o. Por fim, analisa-se o romance, estabelecendo rela??es entre a constru??o das personagens e da pr?pria narrativa, procurando demonstrar como o autor percebeu a quest?o da fragmenta??o na sociedade do capitalismo tardio.
