A resistência em um cenário de dor e precariedade: a realidade do sertão nordestino representada por Graciliano Ramos em seu personagem Fabiano de “Vidas Secas”

Abstract

The aim of this project is to analyze the particularities of the work “Vidas Secas” by Graciliano Ramos, especially regarding the question of the reality of the Northeastern sertão represented in the work, which, due to its complexity and realism, remains current until today, although published in 1938. The work portrays the arduous reality of Northeastern retreatants in search of survival, which is brought in the form of a regionalist novel by the author. We will analyze, in particular, the character Fabiano, the father of the family, in the scenario of dry lack of financial resources and even natural resources. In addition, it will analyze the concept of dignity that exists today and the absence of it in opposition to the respect and observance of basic Human Rights, seen in a scenario of extreme precariousness. Finally, we will present a brief analysis of the scenario depicted in the work, as well as the drought scenario in the Northeast, which persists to this day.
