Analysed here are certain theoretical questions on the category of the character, re-addressing them from the specific angles that the pluralistic and interdisciplinary features of narrative studies have favoured. Some of the essays, for example, deal with traditionally less valued characters, or ones more distant from a strictly literary and canonising vision of the narrative. In this respect, the variety of approaches in this book highlight the dynamic condition of the character, configuring a state of the art that is always provisional and which is inscribed in a broader context of the theoretical re-dimensioning and transdisciplinary openness of narrative studies. The issues raised and illustrated in these essays have as much to do with their respective narrative category as with the field of studies in which they are framed. Texts by Carlos Reis, Sara Grünhagen, Marie-Laure Ryan, Brian Richardson, Raphaël Baroni, and Marta Teixeira Anacleto.engNarratologyLiterary TheoryCharactersForeign LiteraturesPortuguese Literaturebook
