Summary: This thesis is linked to the investigations of the Research Line “Literature: creative writing, translation and teaching” of the Postgraduate Program in Literature at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, integrating the dialogues of the Research Group“Literature and Education” of the same institution. With a qualitative approach and bibliographic-documentary character, this study aimed to investigate the different faces of violence in the youth literature of the Gaucho author Luís Dill. For this, three works were selected that make up the main corpus of analysis: The night of the emeralds(1997), The day in which Luca did not return (2009) and 100 thousand followers (2019), each representing a different decade of the writer's literary production. The analysis and interpretation of the presence of different forms of violence in the selected works were based on theoretical studies on the subject, such as those by Yves Michaud, Slavoj Žižek, Byung-Chul Han and Marilena Chauí, among other researchers. Furthermore, the work dialogued with research on contemporary Brazilian literature, from authors such as Karl Erik Schøllhammer, Tânia Pellegrini and Jaime Ginzburg, and investigations on Brazilian youth narrative, with contributions from João Luís Ceccantini and Alice Áurea Penteado Martha, among others. The analyzes indicated a progression in the forms and manifestations of violence in Luís Dill's narratives, reflecting the current political-economic system in contemporary times. Through his texts, the author constructs a credible reality, based on the historical and social conditions of the objective world, at the same time as he carries out a scathing critique of the modus operandi of capitalist society. His works show how violence finds different ways of existing and reinventing itself over time.
