ABSTRACT: This article aims to reflect about the situation of narrator-character André in Lavoura arcaica (1975) by Raduan Nassar. From the moment that André escapes from home he hides himself in a pension room living a dissolute life far away from family’s eyes. When his brother Pedro arrives with intention to take him back at home André starts to expose his affliction and the reasons of his escape. One of the points that draw the attention in his narration is the form as the body’s familiar is presented. In truth his narration exposes the family’s intimacy, making a kind of desprivated of those things that wouldn’t have matter in public sphere because they aren’t considered as an action. But we understand that through this strategy André takes his father away from private sphere concerning to home and lunching him in other place, a public place where the action is the most important activity. From that the son’s discourse is making equal to father’s discourse. So André gets authority to questioning, to contest and to parody the father’s discourse.
