This attempt of reading is connected to re-map the city, to create new codes, guided by the characters, who in the Luuanda´s case, are mixtured into the space. Our theorical fundamentation is based primordially, in Lins (1976) who inscribes the character as space; Bakhtin (1993) and Lotman (1978) whose associate time and space (cronotopo). The work is organized in four chapters and try to map Luanda as a real and imaginary city. The dissertation proposes a reading of the city as a space marked by the settling and also as a literary space.
