Abstract

This paper intends to approach Machado de Assis’ short stories that were published in the magazine Gazeta de Notícias from 1888 and 1889 in a section called “Bons dias!”. In order to get a portrait of their reader, this paper analyses the first short story dated April 5 1888. This reader is a “virtual reader” who was constructed by the discourse. The outline of this study addresses the notions of literariness and literary genres from the point of view adopted by Compaignon (2001) and the peculiarities of the “Bons dias!”. The concepts are analysed following what was proposed by authors such as Bakhtin (2006), Benveniste (1991) and Fontanille (2007), who bring a new of focusing to the Greimasian Semiotics.
