Abstract

This paper presents a biographical narrative of a popular poet born in the backwoods of the State of Ceará. The biographical narrative of the Manoel de Brito Evangelista leads us to a foray into the symbolic universe of man that turns backcountry with and in history. Following the sign of the times, our poet is contemporary, a man of his time. Small landless farmers in the interior of Ceará, metamorphoses into a critic of neoliberal political and militant solidarity economy in the capital. In its history there is a geographical shift And co symbolic articulates two levels: structure and history. From the biographical approach Is developed throughout the article we can grasp its heuristic value for the construction of an anthropological knowledge of contemporary processes of change (in communities
poor) and the processes that involve the (re) significant tion of the structure by social subjects.
