Abstract

In this paper, using semiotic theory, we do a reading of the short story “A carne do metrô”, by Rodrigo Lopes de Barros, a young Brazilian writer. We employed especially the concepts of narrative path, narrative program, actants, junction, modal competences of the subject. Furthermore, we made a brief reading of the short story in the light of tensive semiotics and we made considerations about the submerged meaning, treating it as irony.
