RESUMO

Renounce is a classical theme and therefore a recurrent subject in social and anthropological studies. The purpose of this work is to map the specificities of a Brazilian standard renouncer. The research aims to use two versions of Antonio Vicente Mendes Maciel´s biography, who became famous in the history War of Canudos (1896-1897) as Antonio Conselheiro, both transcribed in Euclides da Cunha´s classical work, Os Sertões. Our purpose is to contrast the two versions in order to discuss, in details, the social and ideological dimensions emphasized by local society so that one of his members is obliged to abandon it, transforming himself in one individualized being: an out of world individual. A sociological entity that, as a renouncer, dies sociologically for it, but establishes a new marginal and parallel collectivity.
