A valorização da identidade regional e cultural em Poesia com rapadura, de Bráulio Bessa

Abstract

Preconception, intolerance, and contempt for the Northeastern man is still widespread in modern times even though it has been almost a century since the emergence of the discriminatory imaginary explosion of the Northeast. Such a crystallized image consists basically of "drought, misery and backwardness," so his people carry with them stereotypes that are quite offensive and derogatory. In this perspective, the present research approached how such identity imagery was constructed, contextualizing the regional and cultural aspects used by the contemporary poet Bráulio Bessa, corroborating the valorization that is made to the region in his Poetry with Rapadura. Consequently, the composer elements of the Sertanean culture were explained, which, likewise, are also present in the work: cordel literature, xylography, catholic religiosity; and the real reasons for using the dialects and expressions from the Northeast region will be discussed. As a theoretical support for the foundation of such research, one can count on Albuquerque Junior (1999), Bagno (1999 and 2013), Faraco (2012), Marinho and Pinheiro (2012), Hall (2011), among others
