“A estória de Lélio e Lina”, a text originally part of the first volume of Corpo de baile (1956), by Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967), can be read as a narrative interspersed with imagery planes suggestive of the sexual experiences of the characters. Considering this, it is necessary to examine some of the various nuances correlated with corporality, which, in the novel, unfolds in eroticism, in the representation of black women (in which there is the set of sociocultural elements of male oppression over the female body) and in the exercise of sexuality itself. Thus, concerning the first topic mentioned above, as a form of unproductive expenditure, based on the arguments of Bataille (2016; 2017), it is intended to elucidate how occurs the systematic disruption of the interdicts and the violation of laws/taboos (transgression) in the ambiguous and tumultuous relationship between Lélio, the protagonist cowboy, and the young Sinhá-Linda, whose presence-absence permeates the past and present of the wandering backcountry man. Based on the concept of Patriarchy (FREYRE, 2006), this work discusses how some stereotypes associated with black women, such as immoral sex and prostitution, are interlaced in a hinterland full of significations represented in the sensual character Conceição (one of the ‘aunts’). If the intention is to denounce and counter conceptions forged by colonial and patriarchal heritages, contemporary feminist studies that somehow incite other debates around these historically silenced voices will also be opportune, such as bell hooks (2019). And finally, it is presented the theme of sexuality (FREUD, 2016), predisposed and re-enacted in behaviors, acts, and desires of the male and female tensioned in Lélio and his main interlocutor, Rosalina (Lina). Regarding the method followed in this dissertation, the postulates of Hans Robert Jauß (1994; 2002) in the Aesthetics of reception, especially those that deal with basic categories, such as reception, reading and aesthetic experience, are adopted to assist us to engender new investigation possibilities for the central hypothesis of this work: that we are facing particular forms of narration of sensory experiences and sexual activities. In addition to the first section, follow two textual sections, respectively, interpretation of the mentioned narrative and studies of critical reception that dealt with themes related to “A estória de Lélio e Lina”, such as eroticism (REBELLO, 2006; VALENTE, 2011) and tradition and modernity in the hinterland (ROCHA e SILVA, 2010).
