Abstract
This paper intends to discuss possibilities of narrative models of ethnographic writing, in dialogue with the questions that emerged from my research experience in the field of luxury prostitution, in Rio de Janeiro. It therefore attempts to show how these models, in compliance with certain protocols that morally guide the conduct of the researcher in the field, create zones of invisibility of what cannot be narrated. At the same time, they determine who is authorized to be the narrator of the ethnography.
