Abstract
Dentro de los estudios sobre la serialidad narrativa, de muy reciente atención en la academia latinoamericana, son pocos los trabajos que se enfocan en series creadas por distintos autores. Este artículo, inserto en esa línea, examina los mecanismos de conformación de una serie encomendada desde la industria editorial. Para ello se toman como base algunas de las novelas de la colección “Literatura ou Morte”, creada en el año 2000 por la editorial brasileña Companhia das Letras, y caracterizada por el tipo de novelas requeridas: ficción de género policial protagonizada por escritores famosos (Borges, Bilac, Camus, Molière, Hemingway). Las instancias que cohesionan dicha colección, y que conforman el cuerpo del análisis, son la configuración de los espacios íntimos, la construcción nostálgica de distintas épocas y el diálogo literario interserial.
