Resumo: | The article presents and discusses the results of a research on the 689 novels by Brazilian authors published by the most important publishers in the country between 1965 and 1979 and between 1990 and 2014. The data show that contemporary Brazilian novel favors the representation of a small social space. Its characters are, in its majority, white, male, and middle classes. Stereotypes prevail over other groups. White women appear as housewives; black women, as domestic servants or prostitutes; black men, as criminals. The changes over time, although not absent, are not of great importance. Thus, the literary field, although it remains almost immune to the criticisms that other means of symbolic expression usually receive, tends to reproduce the exclusion patterns of Brazilian society. |

Los datos muestran que la novela brasileña contemporánea favorece la representación de un espacio social reducido. Sus personajes son, en su mayoría, blancos, del sexo masculino y de las clases medias. Sobre otros grupos, prevalecen los estereotipos. Las mujeres blancas aparecen como amas de casa; mujeres negras, como empleadas domésticas o prostitutas; hombres negros, como bandidos. Los cambios en el tiempo, aunque no están ausentes, no son de gran importancia.
