White hegemony in the land of carnival: the (apparent) paradox of racism and hybridity in Brazil.

Cao, Benito January 2008 (has links)
This dissertation argues that racism in Brazil is largely a product of the Eurocentrism that presides over the formation and formulation of Brazil(ianness). The ideological construction of the nation on notions of identity and difference rooted in a Eurocentric definition of modernity has translated into an epistemological division between modern subjects (the Colonial Self: the Portuguese) and subjects of modernity (the Colonised Others: the Indian and the African). That is, between subjects and objects. The objectification of the Others can be found within the realm of the social (the Other as social object: the Slave), the cultural (the Other as cultural object: the Exotic), and the biological (the Other as sexual object: the Erotic). This epistemological division enabled the hierarchisation of differences between the Civilised Self and the Savage Other(s) and the racist (re)invention of Brazil in the 19th century. This dissertation re-examines racism in Brazil by means of the analysis of the three historical events that have come to define the nation (Discovery, Independence and Abolition) as well as the so-called essence of the nation (Hybridity). The analysis reveals that the reinvention of Brazil as a hybrid nation has not eliminated the hierarchy of differences. On the contrary, the celebration of hybridity has served to obscure the largely exploitative character of the processes of cultural hybridity [mestiçagem or transculturation] and biological hybridity [miscegenação or miscegenation] and to mask secular prejudices and discrimination against the Indian and African Others. In Brazil, hybridity still operates within the Eurocentric discourse of Brazilianness that incorporated the Indian and African Others as objects or, at best, dependent subjects in the formation and formulation of Brazil(ianness). The corollary of this is that without unthinking and undoing the Eurocentrism that informs the national imagination there is little that hybridity can do to undermine racism and white hegemony in Brazil. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of History and Politics, 2008

O estudo destaca os referenciais metodológicos utilizados pelo autor, bem como procura ressaltar as influências ideológicas sofridas por Oliveira Vianna até a publicação do livro em 1920. Assim, a presente dissertação faz um resgate histórico do período pós-independência para enfatizar o campo de disputa política e os efeitos sociais das ideias. Apresentamos, em seguida, os motivos que Oliveira Vianna expõe em seu livro para justificar a ausência de solidariedade social no Brasil, bem como o desenvolvimento do clã rural e as implicações desse modelo de organização social para a formação social e política do Brasil. Demonstramos que o autor, ao fazer uso de instrumentos de análise pouco usuais até aquele período pelos intelectuais brasileiros, contribuiu para identificar o Brasil como um país composto por regiões diversificadas, o que, por sua vez, justificaria um Estado autoritário como única via para garantir a unidade territorial e a construção da nação / Abstract: The work presents a study about the book Populações Meridionais do Brasil-I, written by Francisco José de Oliveira Vianna. The study emphasizes the methodological references used by the author, as well as, try to focuses the ideological references admitted by Oliveira Vianna up to the book's publication in 1920. Thus, the present dissertation makes an historical analysis about the post-independence period to emphasize the fields of politics' struggle and social ideas' effects. Following we explained the reasons why Oliveira Vianna introduces the absence of social solidarity in Brazil, as well as, the development of patriarchal countryside clan system and the influences of this social organization type to the social and political Brazilian formation. We demonstrated that the author used analysis' instruments not very common at that period and contributed to identify Brazil as a country composed by different regions, what justify in accordance with Vianna's conclusion the authoritarian State as the only way to guarantee the territorial unity and a Nations' construction / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

No. of bitstreams: 1 Rangel_RonaldoRaemy_D.pdf: 2011320 bytes, checksum: 8cbd2a68eb0ceeefba3750469bd375fa (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir o papel de um grupo específico das elites no Império, segmento que sem dúvida pertencia ao grupo hegemônico do país, mas que dele se destacava por sua instrução, nível cultural e, principalmente, por seu contato frequente com o mundo já desenvolvido nos moldes da revolução industrial. Por um lado tal segmento, como parte da elite econômica, atuou de forma pragmática na direção da criação de um Estado que se tornasse um ator privilegiado e que atendesse aos interesses dos produtores envolvidos com o modelo escravocrata¿agrário¿exportador e, por outro, adotou uma visão humanista que se vinculava a sua compreensão sobre as transformações em sociedades que desfrutavam de ganhos advindos da revolução industrial, mas que viam emergir novas relações sociais. Assim, o segmento da elite estudado, independente da esfera do Estado, buscou discutir questões relevantes para os seus interesses e o fez pela aproximação a instituições privadas de caráter não confessional através das quais puderam generalizar suas ideias, quer fosse entre seus próprios membros (já que entendiam como necessário que estivessem eles próprios organizados como atores coletivos) quer com o conjunto de homens livres, que não derivassem do grupo hegemônico. Uma das associações escolhidas por esse segmento foi a Sociedade Amante da Instrução que é usada como guia do trabalho / Abstract: This work intends to discuss the role of a specific group of elites in the Empire, a segment which belonged to the hegemonic group in the country, but it stood out for their education, cultural level, and especially for his frequent contact with the developed world after the industrial revolution. As part of the economic elite, acted pragmatically to create a State to become a privileged actor and would meet the interests of producers involved with model slave agrarian export, and, secondly, adopted a humanistic vision that was linked to transformations in societies that enjoyed gains from the industrial revolution, but they saw emerging new social relations. The segment of elite studied, regardless of the sphere of the State, sought to discuss issues relevant to their interests and made the approach to private institutions (non-confessional) through which could generalize their ideas, whether it were among their own members (as understood that they needed to be organized as collective actors) or among free men, that were not derived from the hegemonic group. One of the associations chosen by this segment was the Sociedade Amante da Instrução which is used to guide the work / Doutorado / Historia Economica / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico
