O processo de subalternização das personagens em Capitães da Areia, de Jorge Amado

Abstract

This work seeks to discuss the subalternity in the characters of the work Capitães da Areia by Jorge Amado, analyzing the setting and the time in which it was published, as Amado turns his writing into a mechanism for denouncing social disregard for street children. For this, a bibliographical research was carried out based on the conceptions of Antonio Candido (1980), Albuquerque JR(2011), Bueno(2006), Castello(2009) among others. The research allowed reflections on the characters' experiences: Pedro Bala, Dora, Lollipop, Cat, Teacher, Legless, Good Life are subordinate characters that Amado brings to the center of his work, telling his stories he makes the reader understand that marginality is not born with these boys, it isjustified by their surroundings.
