Analyze the historical novel Karina (1964) of Espirito Santo’s writer Virginia Tamanini, highlighting the representation of Italian immigration in the Espirito Santo, is what drives me in this master's program research. With the crossing of the Atlantic, as black as the Gilroy’s, by the character Karina and his group of immigrants to the settlement in Espirito Santo lands, the new immigrants tried to adapt. This collective dream of making America will explain, by likelihood, the contact wires between Literature and History. The research will bring to light the Italian culture, intertwined with cultural studies of Homi Bhabha and studies of representation proposed by Chartier, besides prioritizing reflections on cultural identity of characters, will explain political, economic and social aspects that affect some behaviors and emerge others. In this scenario, by the thought of the theoretical Stuart Hall, with whom I will also talk, show how the identity of the characters has become fragmented, as the need for attachment to a group of foreigners that will live together allows one of the most important phenomena of collective identification: a cultural identity that is being (re) constructed in another space. As we enter the scenery of this novel, we will seek to verify the correspondence of identity representation of social actors that the book allows us to realize that is not "tropo tardi" to investigate.
