This study performs a reading of Pornopopéia (2009), the romance wrote by Reinaldo Moraes, borned in São Paulo. In my analysis, I try to identify the manifestations of street smarts and cynicism present in Zeca figure, the protagonist. In the erotic and irresponsible adventure of romance, this guy of metropolis finds himself at the mercy of consumerism and moral vacuum. The individualism and the hero's hedonism, mostly geared toward to the enjoyment, are the result of the logic of a society where the consumer is not a subject but its object. Zeca integrates a particular line of characters that possibly originated in Spain with so-called picaresque novels. Such a line had in Manuel Antonio de Almeida a pioneer in Brazil, with the book Memórias de um sargento de milícias, in which the author, though inheriting characteristics of the Spanish rogue, absorbs the folk style of local historical figures like Peter Malasartes, creating, so in Leonardo (protagonist of Memórias), the prototype of the Brazilian trickster. While in the first chapter i select some individuals who, given their representation throughout history, would be formative parts for the creation of Zeca, in the second i choose for bringing literary examples listed as examples of the types listed in the previous chapter, as well as notabilizam themselves while Reinaldo Moraes' precursors. In the third chapter I dwell on the text and develop my reading from three directions: the Zeca relations with pleasure, with morality and with the void. Therefore, reflect, in this dissertation, on the possible belonging of this character, given its sharp bend to the marginal and peripheral zone.
