(1954), by Jos? Augusto Bezerra de Medeiros; Velhos Costumes do Meu Sert?o (1965), by Juvenal Lamartine de Faria; and Sert?es do Serid? (1980), by Oswaldo Lamartine de Faria. The historiographical discourse will be investigated as to representations of space and the frames of reference that demarcate it. We highlight the space of 1 as delimited by the subjectivity and significances expressed by each author, considering closely the relation between author, writing and body, either in historiography or in the subjects that give shape to the Serid? region in their writings. The Serid? is particularly framed in the relevant historiography as the hinterland (sert?o) space, where the drought is a representation referred to recurrently, and as a space of fight , in which man and nature would be in constant struggle, challenging each other. Spatial frames of reference are then situated between the 1 and notions of hinterland and fight with nature / O objetivo deste trabalho ? analisar as configura??es espaciais do Serid? potiguar situado na por??o centro-meridional do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte a partir das seguintes obras: Homens de Outrora (1941), de Manuel Dantas; Serid?

Destacamos o espa?o do eu (de)marcado pelas subjetividades e significa??es de cada autor, considerando a rela??o entre autor, escrita e corpo, seja o da historiografia ou dos sujeitos que d?o forma ao Serid? em seus escritos. E os espa?os do Sert?o e de Luta. O Serid? no discurso historiogr?fico ? configurado como espa?o do sert?o, onde a seca se constitui como representa??o recorrente e como espa?o de luta em que, homem e natureza estariam em um constante combate, um desafiando o outro. As configura??es espaciais para o Serid? se d?o entre o eu e as no??es de sert?o e luta com a natureza
