Abstract

It is aimed, in this text, to analyze how politics enter the form and the content of the short stories included in A medida de todas as coisas, written by Peruvian author Pedro Llosa Vélez. Through several structural expedients, the narratives represent intellectuals inserted in subjective-ideological crisis. The subjective tone of the tales eliminates – or makes it tied to the protagonists’ psych – the politics inflexion of the stories, composing, despite of the explicit social, economic and cultural motives, narratives in which the propagandistic is dissipated by the discovering of the self, by the irony and the pathetic of the represented situations. Regarding politics, we based our studies on Wolfgang Leo Maar’s (1982) reflections; associated with the relations between politics and literature, Irving Howe’s thoughts are used.
