CHIARA, Ana Cristina de Rezende. "Gente quer luzir": figurações de "um outro-real, um ultrarreal" no enfoque da pobreza. Alea [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.2, pp. 227-237. ISSN 1517-106X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1517-106X2011000200003.

This article discusses images of poverty which appear in literature as well as in other languages, in a comparatist and deconstructive perspective of prejudiced and/or merciful views. The focus of the discussion is the concept of ecstasy (Bataille) and of glorious face (Arthur Omar). The objects are: A hora da estrela (Clarice Lispector), the photos of Migrations project (Sebastião Salgado) and the documentary film Estamira (Marcos Prado).
