Do guerreiro dos sertões ao bandido sanguinário: uma análise dos processos referenciais em narrativas de sertanejos da região do Pajeú

Abstract

This paper has the objective to make an analyze of the referential processes in narratives about the cangaço told by countryside people from the Pajeú Region. In relation to theoretical fundamentals, we adopt as approach about the brazilian cangaço the discussions of Conrado (1983), Cunha (1979), Dutra (2011), Gomes (2008), Hobsbawm (1978) e Maciel (1988). Concerning the discussion about referenciation, we choose Andrade (2008), Brait e Souza-e-Silva (2012), Cavalcante (2005), Dubois (2003), Koch (2004) Mondada (2005), Marcuschi (2007/20012) e Lima (2008). This research was constructed from recordings, in which it was possible to identify a reconstruction of discursive memories of the king of the cangaço, as Lampião is called by many people. The corpus of this work was built of 7 interviews with the oldest inhabitants of the localities of Caititu, Mariri and Carro Quebrado, in the semiarid region ofPernambuco. Finally, we realize that the Lampião referent is constructed and reconstructed from referential processes present in countryside people narratives of the Pajeú region, and that in them it is possible to identify a subject patronized by the inhabitants of the highlightedlocalities.
