RESUMO:

This study originates from an intention to address the spaces and voices of the Backcountry (the Brazilian hinterland); to this end, we have selected the work “A História do Amor de Fernando e Isaura” (The Story of the Love of Fernando and Isaura), written in 1956 by the Paraíba-born author Ariano Suassuna, inspired by Joseph Bédier’s “The Romance of Tristan and Iseult” (2012), which marked his debut in the novel genre. Our objective is to analyze the concept of space, whether physical, symbolic, or poetic, viewing this narrative element not merely as a structural component of the plot, but as something that permeates the realm of words as a means of cultural resistance, thereby sharpening the sense of belonging. The study employs a qualitative approach based on analytical and bibliographic research, grounded in the theoretical frameworks of Albuquerque Júnior (2011), Bachelard (1993), Brandão (2007 and 2024), Zumthor (1993 and 1997), and Foucault (1984 and 2013), among others. The arguments developed herein demonstrate that, by entering a world of recreation with medieval resonances, the author does not craft the narrative as a mere imitation; rather, he employs fluid language, metaphors, and discourse markers throughout the literary structure. This deliberate choice to bring writing closer to speech bridges the gap between narrator and reader, fostering a dialogue between tradition and the modern context, a distinctive technique in his work that symbolically resists the erasure of traditional cultures. Given that we live in a landscape marked by textual fragmentation, the acceleration of experiences, and the ephemeral nature of symbolic bonds, it is urgent to discuss how Suassuna’s work acts as an agent of aesthetic resistance. It invites the reader to adopt a different rhythm, to listen more attentively, and to immerse themselves deeply in the literary word, ensuring that stories do not simply fade away with time but are instead imbued with new meaning.
