The present work aims to promote a different study concerning the narrator. Thinking about the complexity of the short story O alienista (Machado de Assis), we observed that such aspect results of the 'manners' of intervention that the narrator accomplishes by a 'historiographic' discourse. Through this discourse, he is able to project events and ideologies from the moment of enunciation (narration) on the elements of the statement (diegesis). Hence the difficulty that the short story introduces to the critic suggests an approach that goes beyond the traditional theoretical classifications about the narrator, once the richness of the category does not reside in the stagnated characteristics of its form, but in its manner of proceeding actively on the report. Based on this, we propose a study that is centered not properly in the narrator's figure as 'typological' result, according to the traditional theoretical classifications, but in the formal means that act, starting from the narration, on the constitution of the diegesis. In other words, we tried to study the category indirectly through the relationships between strategic discursive means, enunciation and statement. Such relationships are capable to dissimulate an entire implicit universe that hides ferocious criticismo to different domains of the reality. Therefore we need a research to be ruled by different concepts when the subject is the reflection on unconventional manners with which the narrator intervenes in his report. The immediate consequence of such a study concerning this subject is a methodological arrangement that is based on new concepts formulated by a range of theorists that belong not only to literary theory. Thereby we built and adopted, throughout the whole analysis, some specific notions, as it is the case of the allusion-that results from the dialogue between the ideas of Gérard Genette s narrative levels, the ideas of Peirce s indexicality and the Grice s implicature. This conglomeration of theoretical aspects from different áreas can suggest a certain perplexity. However, at the end, the allusion and its constituent phases -as it results from the a fore mentioned theoretical connection provides an indispensable service to our analysis. Still of our specific method another fundamental concept arises: the prototypicality. By this term we want to designate the cutting done by the narrator of certain essential lines that configure particularities of the reality.
