Abstract

This paper presents a reading of Rremembranças da menina de rua morta nua – a montage signed by Valêncio Xavier which recovers the story of a murder occurred in São Paulo during the 90’s – which dislocates it from literature and analyzes it from the point of view of communication semiotics. Supported by the hypothesis that the text stands between fiction and fact, this paper uses Yuri Lotman’s concept of semiotic boundary to suggest some reading keys to Xavier’s text.
