Abstract

In this article, we aim to study and analyze the representation of the country man in the poetry of Antonio Gonçalves da Silva, popularly known as Patativa do Assaré. From the perspective of Gayatri Chakravorti Spivak and other theorists - as Frantz Fanon, Homi K. Bhabha and Edward Said, particularly with regard to cultural identity – we propose a new approach to the construction of poetic voice and image of the frontiersman in the main works of Assaré. Thus, the article will be built through studies related to the issue of culture, identity and its representations in the literature. We believe that, with this, we can understand better the figuration of the poetic voice of Assaré in the context of its space and how this voice can somehow represent the class of the disadvantaged or the subordinated ones.
