Abstract

This research thematizes the studies about the relation between Geography and Literature, from the analysis of the novels interpretations Grande Sertão: Veredas, from João Guimarães Rosa. Based on these readings we developed a critical reflexion of modernization, understood as formation and generalization of capitalist social relations. We investigate some interpretations that relate Rosa\'s narratives and regionalist literature, presenting some connections to think the notion of region, in systematized in Geography. Along the way, we situate some questions about the recurrent treatment of regional question in Brazil, deepening the study of the Rosa\'s narratives in relation to debates about the formation of the country. We discuss the process of formation of the apparent autonomy between the political and the economical sphere, exposing the discourses about the region and necessity for state planning, also questioning the apparent autonomy of the intellectual and artistic fields.
