Subjetividade, dilaceramento e narratividade:: um ensaio sobre As Cabeças Trocadas, de Thomas Mann

This essay aims to uncover the interstices between literature and philosophy, based on Thomas Mann's novel “Die vertauschten Köpfe”, examining some of the narrative episodes. It takes subjectivity and laceration as images of the Twentieth Century and also, on the other side, seeks to understand the narrative's constitutive duplicity. These issues relate this work to the state of exception in which we live.
