| Resumo: | The analysis between space and society, based on the relationship between the
people and their territory, was an existing problem in Brazilian literature in the
nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Interpreting the economic, political,
and cultural life of the country became the goal of several intellectuals, allowing not
only the formation of a feeling of nationality, but also a representation of the territory
and its population, during the conjunctural process experienced by the country at
that time. Among the many outstanding works of the period, Os Sertões (Rebellion in
the Backlands) written by Euclides da Cunha stands out. Considered one of the main
authors of Brazilian literature, Euclides, in portraying the facts of the War of
Canudos, which broke out in the interior of Bahia in 1896, exposes not only the
context of the civil war that broke out in Canudos, but also an unknown hinterland
disintegrated from the rest of the national space. Divided into three parts, The Land,
The Man and the Struggle, the book, Os Sertões (Rebellion in the Backlands),
established a perspective of historical and geographical knowledge that was able to
contribute to the opening of a path that enables the reading of Brazil. These
observations introduce the central question of this research: What are the main
geographical contributions of the book Os Sertões (Rebellion in the Backlands)
written by Euclides da Cunha, to the interpretation of the territorial formation of
Brazil? Based on this guiding question, our central objective is to analyze the main
geographical contributions of the book Os Sertões (Rebellion in the Backlands)
written by Euclides da Cunha for the interpretation of the territorial formation of
Brazil. For this purpose, we start from the theoretical understanding that geographic
knowledge, as a form of interpretation of the history of man in the occupation of
space, can be seen in various ideologies and discourses that emerge in various
spheres of understanding, such as: the academic, the literary, the political discourses,
the essayistic and/or travel reports. In view of this, we witness in the literature of
this period the debate of the representations about the territory and the Brazilian
society, allowing them to be interpreted as geographical discourses, since they
played a social role and consisted in manifesting the dynamics present in the context
responsible for delimiting and defining territory and people. The methodological
procedure was carried out through the elements of understanding the work and a
critical analysis of the discourse present in the book. Therefore, the research allowed
the construction of a perception of the geographic discourse in Euclides da Cunha,
through the book Os Sertões (Rebellion in the Backlands), and how this discourse
triggered a thought on the spatial representation of the territory of Brazil. |
