In Inferno provisório, Luiz Ruffato foregrounds the physical characterization of his migrant and marginalized characters. The incorporation of social structures is visually embodied both in the physical hexis, which maintains similarities with the historical constraints of the carrier, as well as in the universe of consumed objects, which act as indices of the conditions (and relations) of classes portrayed by the Mineiro writer. By amplifying the importance of the characters' desires for social mobility and the power to consume, their bodies appear as saturated spaces of symbolic power and language. For this analysis, stories from the last two books (volumes IV and V) of Ruffato's literary series(O livro das impossibilidades and Domingos sem Deus(were chosen as representative narratives of other poetic moments from Inferno provisório.
