Resumo

The present study consists of a survey of 301 poems that show moments in which Brazilian poetry participated/has been participating, somehow, in the debates about the land. The analyses, which explores the testimony dimension of the chosen poems, were carried out based on the understanding that there is a fusion between text and context that acts on the basis of the structure, as Candido (2000) and Adorno (2010) defends. The anasyses were organized from the division of poems into three thematic categories: life, struggle and death. As obtained results we have discovered that this poetry, called agrarian poetry, records the existence of an amalgam between the man and the land, which is governed by the dependence of one on the other and constantly crossed by the spectrum of death. Although the relationship between men and land is hard and suffering, this is the kind of life that they sought and that is the reason they live, fight and die. This death, however, is not the end, but the resumption of the cycle. The man dies to live forever as a symbol of resistance and to propel those who will come after him. The images, extracted from the poems, adapt to the most diverse modes of elaboration, from the simplest to the most complex and experimental, configuring themselves as a cartography of irregular traces regarding the theme, structure and characteristics. This variety shows us that the subject has reached the most diverse spaces of propagation with authors directly or indirectly involved in the fight, it also evidences the inseparable link between the denunciation of inequality in the distribution of land and the call for the fight for these lands. The memory shaped in the structure of poetic expression also signals the great ideological profile in the creation processes: at the same time that this corpus participates in the debates on the issue of land in Brazil, it builds a memory, which is not institutional, but is part of the cultural heritage of Brazil by denouncing, reinvindicate and, with this, showing paths.
