          Abstract

          Este artigo focaliza uma queixa judicial de um trabalhador contra um patrão, ocorrida em 1965, na mata sul pernambucana, a qual apresentava características excepcionais em relação à norma dos processos naquela região das grandes plantações canavieiras. Na primeira parte, reconstitui as condições sociais nas quais se produziu o caso, examina os sentidos das condutas dos atores na sucessão dos eventos, identifica as coerções que se abateram sobre eles e explora as implicações do acontecimento. Na segunda parte, focaliza a história das relações sociais na plantação no período subseqüente, tendo como eixo o direito, seus usos e sua eficácia. A análise permite melhor compreender a dinâmica e a complexidade dos processos que contribuem para que os indivíduos passem a agir levando em conta a existência de normas jurídicas.

          Translated abstract

          This article focuses on a lawsuit filed by a worker against his boss, in 1965, in the southern Pernambuco countryside. This case proved to be exceptional compared to the normal run of legal processes in this region of large-scale sugar-cane plantations. The first part reconstructs the social conditions in which the case took shape, examining the meanings behind the behaviour of actors in the unfolding events, and identifying the forms of coercion placed upon them. I also explore the implications of the case. The second part concentrates on the history of social relations in the plantation during the subsequent period, seen in terms of the law its uses and its effectiveness. The analysis enables a clearer understanding of the dynamics and complexity of some of the processes causing individuals to start to act in response to legal norms.
