This article analyses how four Brazilian literary texts, published between 1977 and 2017, respond to the effects of political violence and repression during the dictatorship. In this sense, it considers particularly how the exile experience in Paris, the trauma and the problem of identity and alterity are presented in Brazilian contemporary fiction, namely in the short story "Paris não é uma festa" (1977), by Caio Fernando Abreu and in the novels Tropical sol da liberdade (1988), by Ana Maria Machado, Rio-Paris-Rio (2016), by Luciana Hidalgo and A noite da espera (2017), by Milton Hatoum. The aim of the article is to contribute to a better understanding of the complexity and diversity of the politics and poetics of migrant narratives and Brazilian literary treatment of the dictatorship.El artí­culo analiza como cuatro textos literarios brasileños, publicados entre 1977 y 2017, responden a los efectos de la violencia polí­tica y la represión de la dictadura.
