abstract="This article analyzes Veronica Stigger's fictional writing - especially the short story &quot;200m2&quot;. In this short story Verônica (the character) stages her own suicide, thus enacting the death of the author, suggesting a poetics within Stigger's literature. One of the theoretical consequences of the scene of the author's death leads us to examine the tension between the &quot;dead letter&quot; and the &quot;living word&quot;, according to Jacques Rancière's re-reading of Plato's critiques on writing. But this scene also points towards a critical alternative in Stigger's literature against spectacle society as it establishes a series of &quot;separations&quot; between writing and its object. Finally this line of investigation opens up an unavoidable question about the analyzed short story - a question that must also be applied to the author's subsequent books, and yet does not seem to offer any acceptable answer: if the has author died, how is she able to keep writing? © 2019 Universidade de Brasilia.
