Abstract

On going through the points that affirm the presence of postmodernism as a contemporary event that finds in cultural studies its greatest representation, we present the short story “Buquê de línguas”[A Bouquet of Tongues],by Tereza Albues, a Mato Grosso, Brazil writer who lived in New York and promoted the meeting of discussions about identity, difference, multiculturalism and transculturation in her text, marking the role of the transculturator in times of fracture, fragmentation and instability.
