Resumo(s)
t Literary journalism, or long form reporting, intersects sociological research at the methodological level
when analysing urban problems. To establish the connection between literary journalism and sociology, we focus
on the influence early literary journalists had on the sociological/imagological and narrative construction of
social problems and how literary journalism continues to be a tool in the unveiling of risk-related issues such as
the exploitation of cheap labour and the degradation of urban environments. We examine a corpus of literary
journalism texts through qualitative methods, namely content and discourse analysis, to conclude that literary
journalism and sociology resort to the same data gathering methodologies, interviews, surveys and statistics,
while narratively exposing life at the socioeconomic peripheries.
