Os discursos do etnólogo, do filósofo e do ficcionistana estrutura do romance Nove noites by Cid Ottoni Bylaardt

“…This text seeks, therefore, to reflect upon how the fictionseizes the discourse of human sciences in order to put it in question, in amovement similar to Derrida‟s thinking in the permanent deconstructionism‟sinterpellation to the scientific discourse.
