ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the literary and journalistic characteristics in Chico Mendes: Crime e Castigo [Chico Mendes: Crime and Punishment] by Brazilian journalist Zuenir Ventura. This study seeks to understand how this reportage book uses literary elements to compose the journalistic-literary narrative. We focus on the assimilation of a specific feature of the narrative, centered on scene-by-scene construction. This study is based on the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and the Circle, which help to understand the overlap of journalistic, historical and literary narratives.
