Abstract:
This text presents an analysis of speeches about the Land Reform in 'Corbel's' Literature. Our objective is to apprehend the different pictures of this Reform in this Literature, in distinct contexts: From 1955 to 1964, from 1964 to the beginning of the seventies, in the course of the seventies and finally in the eighties. The research allowedus to verify that a basic concept of the Land Reform doesn't exist in Cordel, the speeches about this theme have to be searched for in their heterogeneity, being analyzed in their dispersion, in which is possible to find a supposed unity, through repitition of common statements in
these speeches, in the historical contexts mentioned earlier. To understand the various speeches about this Reform that go round in the interior of society in specific moments, it was important to notice the discursive strategies put in practice by the Cordel poets which relate themselves to the poet's and his public's political and ideological formation as well as the characterization of the leaflet as merchandise. The study of the pictures that the Cordel poets build around themselves and around the relations that they established with their public and and other parts of society contribute in a significant way to notice how and in which way the theme "land Reform" is seen by the Cordel poets. The speeches here analyzed, depending on the discursive strategies, put in practice in a determined moment, show the desire, hope and, or the disbelieve on the concreteness of this Reform.
