The thesis inquire about the estrangement which occurs through the presence of the other never before seen or know, which causes according Lévi-Strauss ethnographic descriptions the called confusing sensations. This phenomenon is in an indeterminacy zone, pre-political stage characterized by a state of exception and suspension of consciousness and eyes, which means that cognition or senses are not voluntarily controlled. It was sought to study authors from the second half of the XIX century, when there was greatest interest by strangers or other people with the expansion of big cities and Neocolonialism. In cities, some authors have described the strangeness of crowds in the metropolis, among them: Poe, Balzac, Proust, Baudelaire, Simmel and Walter Benjamin. Ethnographies produced visits or reports that reflect the appearance of the anthropologist within the society which was studied through field diaries and books that discourse about the stranger s arrival, which might be investigated in the descriptions taken as classical ethnography, including the writings of Boas, Malinowski, Pritchard, Lévi-Strauss and Darcy Ribeiro. To found this study and understand the estrangement s specificity, it was studied how philosophy (with the notion of thauma), psychoanalysis (with the notion of unheimlich) and literature comprise the estrangement s phenomenon. What is supposed is that in ethnography and far from cities there is a tendency to that kind of estrangement produce curiosity of the natives, either through disgust or empathy. In cities there is the impossibility to establish any possible contact or experience, friendly or not, with the strange. The fast pace of the city provides the disappearance of concern for others and their presence becomes insignificant. Concepts borrowed from psychoanalysis, literature, philosophy does not capture the complexity of the condition of estrangement in the big cities we proposed to analyze. The emaltema has emerged as a term for an opening to interpretive possibilities about estrangement that occurs with the stranger s arrival or their presence through the crowds
