Subjectivity, self-referentiality and literariness: a model of discursive analysis for Literary Journalism

This article presents a model of discursive analysis for literary journalism based on a triad of analytical categories: subjectivity, self-referentiality and literariness. Subjectivity focuses on the expression of the narrator-reporter and his ethical-narrative engagement; self-referentiality exposes the backstage of journalistic work and the processes of investigation; and literariness employs aesthetic resources to give density and power to the text. The objective is to consolidate this articulation of categories as a methodological tool applicable to non-fiction narratives. To validate the proposal, the book-report Holocausto Brasileiro (2013), by Daniela Arbex, is analyzed as a corpus.
