Description
Summary:This paper aims to reflect on the importance of voices emanating from the consciousness of the traditional subject in the troubled post-modern context, and reflecting on literary production, to see how the idea of relativity is marked in different relationships forged by capitalism and its subjects created. Therefore, the objective is to present a reading society and subject in the light of the post-modern design of Santos (1996) and its elementary environment for the body of the human sciences. In addition to this theoretical aspect, we sought to understand the multiplicity of voices that act in the historical construction of the subject and its identity. These principles were analyzed in Machado's short story "The Mirror" in which one can observe the movements of the subject in social reading that is intended to make the theoretical body. Therefore, the role of the subject's experiences gained prominence. Thus, we come to the conclusion that the subject is immersed in a large relativity and its existence is a priori conditioned as a social agent situated in a large social context unstable and transitory.
