The novels, representative of the formation of the imaginary of the city, contribute to the cultural repertoire in the southern capital. The geography of literature deepens the theme, focusing on three major topics: cartography, landscapes/townscapes and horizons. Some constituent aspects of these topics, geographies, referentialities, experiences, urbanities, narratives and virtualities are explored for conducting the research on space in literature. The experience of urbanity determines how the pens?e-paysage emerges as an aesthetic act. The exploration of horizons results in the transformation of the observation that elucidates the city. We understand the subject in his narrative experience as an essential element in the understanding of this gaze at the city. / Esta tese analisa treze romances, escritos entre 1897 e 2013, com men??o expressa a Porto Alegre como espa?o referencial, n?o epis?dico nem substitu?vel, para cartografar e elencar os mais proeminentes elementos da paisagem. Os romances, representativos da forma??o do imagin?rio da cidade, contribuem para o repert?rio cultural da capital sulina. A geografia da literatura aprofunda o tema, enfocando tr?s grandes t?picos: cartografias, paisagens e horizontes. Os aspectos constituintes desses t?picos, geografias, referencialidades, experi?ncias, urbanidades, narrativas e virtualidades s?o explorados para a condu??o da pesquisa acerca do espa?o na literatura. A experi?ncia de urbanidade determina como surge o pensamento-paisagem, enquanto ato est?tico. A explora??o dos horizontes resulta na transforma??o do olhar que elucida a cidade. Entendemos o sujeito em sua experi?ncia narrativa como essencial na compreens?o deste olhar para a cidade.
