RESUMO

This work does a critical reading of Corpo de Baile, by João Guimarães Rosa, focused on the unit of the seven independent short stories of wich it is made up. The sertão(backlands) in Corpo de Baile is a common universe in its geographical, economical, social, temporal, cultural and existential dimensions. The characters live their transitory condition as cowboys and rural workers of the cattle-raising regions of the backlands and seek a new social and geographical place where a meaning for their lives can be found. The sertão also changes itself into something else as it constitutes itself as an almost animical environment, enchanted, that offers contact with nature, it reveals the progress on the lookout as an ambiguous possibility of improvement and annihilation of its conditions of existence. The death of the character Dito from Campo Geral is a symbol of this sertão that establishes itself before the readers eyes carrying the conditions of its own dissolution. The other protagonists repeat the moves that shape that state of affairs: the feeling of exile and the social calculus, the identification with a double, and the experience of a death fight, and the fixation on desires, recollections or images.
