Grande Sertão: Veredas de Guimarães Rosa se insere na tradição cultural brasileira (literária e científica), marcada pela problemática da nação. O romance dialoga com esta tradição e, em especial, com o clássico Os Sertões (1902) de Euclides da Cunha. Ainda que inserido em uma linhagem de obras que discute a nação e a identidade brasileira, o romance de Rosa também subverte ou desloca alguns de seus ícones, particularmente no que toca à imagem do típico brasileiro como um sertanejo degenerado (Euclides da Cunha) ou doente (Monteiro Lobato). No romance em foco, o sertanejo guerreiro, ou jagunço, é apresentado no par Riobaldo-Diadorim, o primeiro enamorado do segundo que, não sabe, trata-se de uma mulher travestida de jagunço, uma donzela guerreira, corajosa e capaz. Assim, nenhum dos protagonistas reproduz o ideal de masculinidade historicamente associado na criação de figuras icônicas da nacionalidade.

The object of this research is the formation process of the PJB, be it, its pedagogic method and its political options. The analysis is developed from a historical background in order to identify the changes occurred in the PJB method along the 1980 and 1990 decades. We can conclude that, during the 1980s, the PJB emphasized the political dimension in its formation activities and participated in several social movements, which were being organized around the proposal of Brazilian redemocratization. However, along the 1990s a reformulation of the method occurs and it passes to direct its formation to the personal and theological dimensions, having its practice turned to the inside of the Catholic Church. Internal factors, such as the back of Pentecostal movement to the catholic religious scenery, which has represented some drawbacks to the PJB articulation with the parish youth groups, as well as external factors, such as the arrival of the postmodern culture to the Brazilian society, which has brought the predominance for individualist practices, be it, without collective/communitarian basis, both contributed to these changes.
