Signótica, Goiânia, v. 21, n. 1, p. 187-203, jan./jun. 2009. DOI: 10.5216/sig.v21i1.8625. Disponível em: https://revistas.ufg.br/sig/article/view/8625/6105. Acesso em: 14 ago. 2023.e- 0103-7250http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/23515This article analyses two episodes from the novel Grande sertão: Veredas, written by João Guimarães Rosa: Zé Bebelo’s judgment and the pact made by Riobaldo. In the first episode, one examines the peculiar society constituted in the “sertão” by “coronéis” and “jagunços”; in the second one, the notion of pact is broadened beyond the symbolic deal made with the devil, showing its development as strategies of survival in an environment in which the apparent disorder reveals itself as the essence of the order devised and kept by violence.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/SertãoViolênciaPactoSobrevivênciaViolencePactSurvivalArtigo10.5216/sig.v21i1.8625
