This work deals with cultural meanings present in the popular literature written in Northeast Brazil. The popular cultural expressions represent much more than aesthetic or artistic events. They are the declaration of a cultural practice and a constant renewal of a collective memory, manifested in various literary genres, like the Cordel brochure. With Portuguese origin, the line of genre is the popular literature writing, constituting legitimate documents and extremely valuable in redemption and discovery on human and physical aspects of the northeast of the past. Because of its relevance as Brazilian historical and cultural heritage under the auspices of the theoretical assumptions of semiotics, the theoretical study of the leaflets and their stay in Brazil's Northeast was raised through a sample consisting of twenty-seven leaflets of the Research Program collection in popular literature (PPLP), the Federal University of Paraiba, entered in the bibliographic classification proposed by ALBUQUERQUE (2011) to popular literature. Through qualitative and quantitative research data, it was highlighted subthemes of thematic and figurative nature, with the choice of a representative factsheet for each sub-theme for the analysis of semiotic categories related to the trajectory of textual meaning, comparing the frequency of categorical elements present in the sample, the elements constructed culturally and influences in the building of the northeastern man.
