Abstract

Culture is a concept that has numerous definitions in various fields of science. In semiotics it is a complex that structures the meanings of human life through signs, that is, it is a system of symbols that gives meaning to the elements that surround the human. In this way, culture, from the point of view of the semiotics of culture, is understood as a text that contains within itself a collective memory that stores, encodes, transmits and from that generates new texts in an uninterrupted chain of meanings that give meaning to the subject in the world. This complex moves within the semiosphere, a field where the entire sign system slides, that is, the process of language and communication. Thinking through this web, the purpose of this research is to seek to understand the construction of the identity of the subject of the culture of Mato Grosso do Sul, using the work of Exercises to be a Child by Manoel de Barros, a pantaneiro poet born in Mato Grosso and Growing up in Mato Grosso do Sul who uses in his poetry, often autobiographical, languages referring to his culture, that is, trying to analyze the languages of Barrosian poetry, we seek to understand how the various languages existing in that work, compose a scenario that act as sign systems capable of supporting the understanding of the identity of the subject of Mato Grosso do Sul.
