Abstract

This paper aims, from the work Pele de jambo (1996), of the regionalist writer native from Mato Grosso do Sul Rachel Naveira, to analyze the representations of the Brazil-Paraguay border. Then, the aim is to discuss how  the sense of belonging is evoked (NOLASCO, 2011) in the work. Because it is for the infant and young public, Pele de jambo, beyond the question of the representation of the border, gets more singularity because of the urgency in building, early, feelings of appreciation of the locus in which the subjects are inserted. The regional brands present in Naveira’s work (1996) are extremely important for spreading the culture of this specific locus. In this sense, objective of this work is to analyze how some elements are represented that are being transformed into a border situation, such as history, language, cuisine, and the subjects.
