This work aims to understand how the circulation and transformation of the images and concepts of the novel Homens e caranguejos (published in 1965), by Josué de Castro, took place in the 1990s in their relationship with the debates on the spatial representations of northeastern regionality. We started from two assumptions: the fact that, in his fiction, the author recycled notions and characters outlined in previous writings (from short stories from the 1930s, to his geographical and sociological productions in the following decades) as well as what Castro called of the autobiographical dimension of his literary text. From this, we first analyzed the operation that resulted in the novel, in which a correlation was observed between spatial representations and a personal meaning in the author's writing, in order to support the subsequent examination of the readings of such content by the subjects of our study. cutout. In the end, it was found that Josué de Castro's images and concepts, when placed in different times and spaces, assumed original and unpredictable meanings, eventually breaking the awareness of their bond with the author. In this regard, emphasis is placed on the meaning that such content took on from the readings carried out by the exhibition Homem-gabiru: catalogação de uma espécie (exhibition of photographs, illustrations and texts that took place in Recife in 1992) and by Manguebeat (an artistic movement that took place in the capital of Pernambuco in the 1990s, which proposed a vision of local culture that was updated and open to global influences). In this sense, we investigated how such experiences went beyond the local space, being thematized in the national press, giving new meanings to concepts inspired by Josué de Castro, as well as in broader cultural circuits, such as the US metal scene, given its influence on albums Roots (1996), by Sepultura, and Soulfly (1998), debut album by the band of the same name. Castro's writings, periodicals and various artistic productions, such as booklets, songs and video clips, were used as sources.
