Abstract
This thesis investigates the way two dominant cultural traits televisuality and minimalism
merge together within certain American and Brazilian literature. In order to accomplish this it
tries to understand what, during the 1980 s, certain authors tried to define as Image-fiction
and/or TV Fiction, whilst understanding that these critical attempts maintained a close
relationship with what is nowadays seen, retrospectively, as the minimalist debate in the
field of American literature. It proceeds to analyze three North-American novels: White Noise
(1985) by Don DeLillo, Peru (1986) by Gordon Lish and American Psycho (1991) by Bret
Easton Ellis; the collection of short stories What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
(1981) by Raymond Carver as well as two books by the Brazilian author André Sant Anna,
Amor (1998) and Sexo (1999). The thesis has the objective of understanding how these texts
relate with (more than) one notion of televisuality and the way that they unfold or even
deviate from what I considered a minimalist poetics in its strict sense.
