Resumo: Two migration narratives are analysed here. The analysis focuses the protagonists of Graciliano Ramos Vidas Secas and Caryl Phillips The Final Passage in their search for home. The migrants´ reduced luggage is taken as symbolic of their dispossession and also as pointing to cultural difference. Bhabha´s reflections on cultural difference and the concept of home, as defined by Theano Terkenli, offer the theoretical foundation for this analysis, and trigger considerations on the way representation leads beyond itself, to the social asymmetries implicit in the opposition between rootedness/ vagrancy, and in the aspiration for home and its denial.

Toma-se a bagagem reduzida desses migrantes como símbolo de despossessão e de diferença cultural. Reflexões de Bhabha acerca da diferença cultural e o conceito de lar como exposto por Theano Terkenli embasam esta análise comparativa de Vidas Secas, de Graciliano Ramos, e The Final Passage, de Caryl Phillips, e se tornam o ponto de partida para considerações acerca da maneira como a representação conduz às assimetrias sociais retratadas no jogo entre errância e enraizamento, e no desejo e negação do lar.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2010-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/letras/article/view/1216510.5902/2176148512165Letras; n. 41: (Dez. 2010) – Literatura e Relações Assimétricas de Poder; 165-1822176-14851519-3985reponame:Letras (Santa Maria.
