In this article, I answer the following research questions: what is the collective subjectivity of literary characters? How to analyze it? In what ways can it affect the novel’s narrative elements or – in particular cases – the social reality in which the text produces its effects? Does it have a considerable potential of increasing our understanding of the process of the discursive legitimation of the ‘other’ through literature (or other narrative arts)? In what did the construction of the marginalized characters’ CS in the work of Jorge Amado consist? What was its role in the discursive struggles between the Getúlio Vargas Era hegemonic discourse and the discourse articulated by Amado’s work? Furthermore, by way of conclusion, I will assess how can the concept use be profitable for narrative scholars.
