Abstract

This paper aims to clarify issues about the contemporary historic novel as the notion of problematic hero, the review of ideologies and miths, the problematization of History in ficcion and above of all the issue that guides this essay: the notion of civilization and barbarity wich is inside the construction of Western identity. To do so, were used the theoric approaches of Bakhtin (1990), Benjamin (1985), Wolff apud Novaes (2004) and Rodrigues (2000). In this sense, the author searched to show the aspects written above in the following novels: “The Portrait´s Paintor” by  Assis Brasil (2001), and “The Ships” by Lobo Antunes (2011).
