Resumen
Born in Caraúbas, Rio Grande do Norte, Valdetário Carneiro (1959-2003) became one
of the best known names in the state, as a precursor of the so-called "Novo Cangaço",
a type of organized crime characterized by besieging inland towns and looting their
bank branches. As a method, this dissertation assumes a descriptive character by
detailing biographical data and facts through journalistic articles, interviews with
biographers, family members and some residents of the Caraubense lands. The
theoretical basis of the research is the Complexity Sciences, by which the awareness
of contradictions is conceived as an important foundation for the understanding of
social phenomena, and an indispensable condition for an education capable of
producing pertinent knowledge. Beyond his criminal record, there is the figure of a
man who overcomes stigmas and reveals the complexity of living in his multiple
belongings. Valdetário, the marginal strategist, turned life into a stage on which he
staged a multifaceted drama and constituted one of those expressions that, although
tragic, carried deep meanings about what we are and can be as humans, as well as
demonstrated political, sociological, and cultural aspects of an era. In this way, the
present work aims to go beyond insular bibliographical studies and to advance in the
sense that, by talking about the life of a man significant in different directions for his
city and State, to contribute to the understanding of the historiography of the Potiguar
West and about its modes of social organization of relations and thought.
