Descrição

Based on selected texts by Nestor Vítor, Julia Lopes de Almeida, Afonso Arinos, Coelho Neto, Alberto Rangel, Euclides da Cunha, Monteiro Lobato and Lima Barreto, the aim is to expose the tensions of the journeys in search of Brazilianness that resulted in discourses and ways of seeing the coun­try and culture that are still in dispute today.
