[en] BETWEEN SOUTH AMERICAN WRITING AND THE EUROPEAN SPIRIT: POETRY AND POLITICS IN COLONIAL BRAZIL (1750-1810) / [pt] ENTRE LETRA AMERICANA E ESPÍRITO EUROPEU: POESIA E POLÍTICA NO BRASIL COLONIAL (1750-1810)

MARCELO MAGALHAES LEITAO 21 October 2008 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese pretende indicar vínculos entre o pensamento político desenvolvido sob o influxo da filosofia da ilustração, a política colonial praticada pela Metrópole européia e os modelos literários do Arcadismo. O trânsito de idéias proporcionado pelo Iluminismo foi festejado por homens de letras brasileiros que começavam a estabelecer seu espaço político e cultural na Colônia: empregados em altos cargos da administração colonial, tais letrados conspiraram contra essa mesma administração. O espírito de autonomia, cunhado em ambiente metropolitano, apresentava descompassos em relação ao ambiente colonial americano. Os poetas da época, subordinados a fortes convencionalismos literários e políticos, dramatizaram esses descompassos: a literatura foi usual veículo do complexo pensamento político da época. / [en] The objective of this thesis is to point out the links between the political thought, developed under the influence of the Enlightenment philosophy, the colonial politics employed by the European metropolis and the literary patterns of Arcadism. The exchange of ideas brought about by the Enlightenment was welcomed by Brazilian scholars who started to acquire political and cultural status in the colony: those scholars who were high ranking officials in the colonial administration conspired against that same administration. The spirit of independence, which thrived in the metropolitan environment, was ahead of the situation in South America. The poets of that period, subordinated to political and literary conventions, dramatized this mismatch: literature became a common vehicle for the complex political thought of the time.
