The Cordel literature refl ects the culture of the region it belongs to, that is the northeast of Brazil. In the same way the fi lm by Glauber Rocha, Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol, also refers to the same culture. This work considered a number of hypothesis in order to compare the differences and the similarities among brochures which were written based on social banditry - known as cangaco - and the Brazilian backlands, and the images produced by Glauber Rocha in his fi lm, where the same subjects are discussed. The brochures used for the analysis are in the Central Library of the State University of Londrina. Keywords: Cordel Literature. New Cinema. Social banditry. Wilderness.
