Resumo: Antônio Conselheiro and its followers had perform in the Brazilian backlands (1893-1897) a curious communitarian experience that reached 10,335% growth in its population, in only four years, and resisted, during ten months, to the onslaughts of almost the half of the Brazilian army. It is not reasonable to imagine that it has done without an efficient governance and organization, despite its tragic end. In this assay we analyze this organization based on a institutionalization model of three dimensions: the economic, the politic and the religious ones, and in its governance and local organization. Based on a semiotic reading of the descendants of the Canudos survivors discourse; the reports of the witness-chroniclers of the episode and the historiography of the fact, my conclusions points out that Canudos (the Bello Monte of Antônio Conselheiro) would have been a great "mutirão" (mutual aid), whose its leadership assumed a form which I identify as the symmetric of the "coronelismo" (colonel style, in the Victor Nunes Leal meaning) or "um coronel pelo avesso" (a contrary colonel), making a parody with the Euclidean image of Antonio Conselheiro.

Não é razoável imaginar que semelhante feito tenha prescindido de um sistema de organização e governo minimamente eficaz, malgrado seu trágico destino. Neste artigo, esse sistema organizacional é analisado com base em três dimensões - a econômica, a política e a religiosa - e no processo de institucionalização das formas de organização e governança locais que as mesmas inspiraram. A partir de uma leitura semiológica dos referentes organizacionais do universo conselheirista e do cotejo das três fontes utilizadas na pesquisa - os depoimentos dos descendentes dos sobreviventes do episódio, os relatos dos cronistas-testemunhas do fato e a historiografia sobre a temática -, as conclusões da pesquisa apontam no sentido de que Canudos teria sido um grande mutirão, cuja liderança assumiu uma forma a qual identificamos como a do "coronel com o sinal trocado" ou de um "coronel pelo avesso", parodiando a imagem euclidiana de Antônio Conselheiro.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5047Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 5 No. 4 (2007); 1 a 16Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 5 Núm. 4 (2007); 1 a 16Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 5 n. 4 (2007); 1 a 161679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5047/3781Martins, Paulo Emílio Matosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:10:57Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/5047Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:25.438150Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
