Abstract

This paper studied the postmodern posture through the hybridism between History and Literature by electing the counterfactual novel as its object. The paper’s aim is to analyze the production of counterfactual literature studies in Brazil under qualitative and quantitative perspective. The hypotheses contemplated is that Brazilian counterfactual literature studies are yet incipient and due to this fact must be promoted. The chosen methodology was Bibliometrics. Researchers used the terms: “história contrafactual”, “história alternativa”, “romance histórico” and “metaficcção científica”. Since 2013, the results display an increase in number of publications. The authors have a network of publications/citations for terms “história contrafactual” and “romance histórico”. The VOSViewer software was used to develop a quantitative analysis and an author network.
