  • Descrição: The present article intends to analyze the special constructions in two contemporary novels in the English language by V.S Naipaul and J.M Coetzee from a historical perspective, meaning to comprehend the forms of dialogue with the traditional figuration of narrated spaces. The article also looks to the developing of logics of belonging for the autofictional protagonists of the novels, with the centrality of the concept of displacement and the procedures of special figuration which, gradually, define sceneries that don't welcome the protagonists. The article was based on multiple theoretical references with special attention to the contributions of the cultural studies to the comprehension of the place of literature on the expanded field of discourses that circulate in the social web. The analysis ends with the conclusion that both novels present radical displacements for their protagonists from the negative figuration of the spaces in question, be it that from England, or the place of origin, producing a kind of suspension that points to the impossibility of conventional forms of belonging for the characters.
