The period of Paraná society's formation, especially during the 19th century, is marked by the founding of different colonies or groupings of immigrants in experimental communities. Among them is the Socialist Colony Tereza Cristina, located in the central region of Paraná, in the Ivaí River Valley, nowadays a tiny district in the city of Cândido de Abreu. This episode from the past of the state is re-elaborated by two hybrid narratives of history and fiction of the mediation modality, namely: A utópica Teresevile (2016), by André Jorge Catalan, and Retrato no entardecer de agosto (2016), by Luiz Manfredini. In this article we critically analyze these narratives in order to find out how the fictional discourse manipulates and expands the historiographical discourse about this enterprise. In the meantime, we rely on Fleck (2017) and Cella (2022) for the classification of narratives, in the historiographical contribution regarding the process of installation, maintenance and bankrupt of the colony Tereza we report to Silva (2017), Fernandes (2006) and Dysarz (2013). Regarding the corpus' analysis methodology we rely on the theoretical concepts of Genette (1979), Lins (1976) and Fleck (2017). From our analyses, we verified that the narratives in question offer us new and expanded perspectives on a historical event still little explored by historiography and that allow the nuance of relations between European immigrants and indigenous and quilombola communities.
