          Translated abstract

          This essay presents readers with the central argument from three books, ranging from Euclides da Cunha to Guimarães Rosa and the hygienist movement of the 1920s, focusing on the theme of the sertão (backlands) in Brazilian literature and social thought. Based on this presentation, the essay emphasizes that linked to the topic under review, Brazilian intellectual tradition has nearly always encompassed classical themes from sociology and political science, like incorporation and nation-building. After digressing to the three authors’ styles, the essay concludes by suggesting the validity of performing comparative studies on approaches to the Brazilian backlands and those conducted by North American scholars.

          Translated abstract

          Dans cet essai on présente le thème central de trois livres qui, depuis Euclides da Cunha jusqu’à Guimarães Rosa en passant par le mouvement sanitarista des années 20, abordent le sertão dans la littérature et la pensée sociale au Brésil. Sur cette base, on voit qu’il est fréquent, dans la tradition intelectuelle brésilienne, d’associer l’idée de sertão à des sujets de la sociologie et de la science politique, tels que celui de l’incorporation et de construction de la nation. Finalement, après des considérations sur le style des auteurs, on propose d’effectuer des études comparatives entre les approches concernant le Brésil profond et celles utilisées par les chercheurs nord-américains.
