Summary/Abstract: Purpose/Thesis: The complexity of subject analysis in knowledge organization is significantly incre­ased when the material consists on imaginative literature and fiction. This situation reveals a lack of methodological studies on subject analysis of fiction literature compared with the subject analysis of scientific literature. Approach/Methods: The methodology is the literary discourse analysis applied to two short stories by a Brazilian writer. Results and conclusions: The short stories were analysed in order to demonstrate how this kind of analysis can be an alternative to the information representation in knowledge organization. Originality/Value: The originality of the work lies in its choice to deal with the literary discourse analysis as a methodology for the knowledge organization.
