Abstract

MEYER, Mônica Ângela de Azevedo. De um só couro: a natureza nas notas de viagem de Guimarães Rosa. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2000, n.31, pp.21-42. ISSN 0102-4698.

Guimarães Rosa’s fieldnotes written during his trip across the Sertão of Minas Gerais in 1952, are analyzed on this article. As an insider of the cowboys’ group (vaqueiros) and as a writer, he made visible the relationship between man and nature. Rhythms, languages, colors, horns, footprint, names are categories used by Guimarães Rosa to describe the singularity of each animal. This description reveals how the culture mediates the process of nature’s re-criation.

Keywords : Guimarães Rosa; Nature; Cowboys’ Group; Field Notes.
