Abstract

This article consists of an analysis of the novel Lorde (2014), by the author João Gilberto Noll, based on the theories of the imaginary, proposed by Gilbert Durand (2012), Chevalier and Gueerbrant (1991), and on the considerations of Stuart Hall and Tadeu Tomaz da Silva (2000) about the construction of identity. Noll's literature presents, as one of its central themes, the conflicts in the identity construction of the subject, approaching the protagonists' relationships with space, with others and with their own body. In Lorde, the protagonist, an unnamed Brazilian author, is invited to spend a season in the city of London, which triggers a series of identity issues. Faced with the condition of being a foreigner, conflicts with age and body, in a process of alterity, the protagonist has his identity reinvented, mixed with characters’, in addition to experiencing situations which, symbolically, mention the idea of rebirth.
