Abstract

This essay investigates the space of the house and its fictional construction as a representation of Portugal, in novels published in the second half of twentieth century, by writers like Agustina Bessa-Luís, Maria Velho da Costa and António Lobo Antunes. In their novels, it is possible to identify some subversions of the portuguese house’s writing. This essay aims to relate these subversions to the social changes and to the novel’s genre construction.
