Abstract
From the example of the romance Flores Artificiais, by Luiz Ruffato, this essay will discuss the radicalization of the “demands of the real” in contemporary Brazilian literature in search for another fundament for a realism sustained in the discourse and writings of characters not represented by literature but appropriated and included in their own materiality. Such apparatus needs to be understood in light of what Jacques Rancière called The Ethical Regime of Images, insofar they search for expressions determined ontological by the real in question.
