Resumo
This study attempts to solve multiple and intricate phenomens that, historically,
have been making Brasilia a mystical city. In it, it is possible to see how
elements of a mystical nature engendered the policial plot of the history of the
new Brazilian capital, with the writings of Dom Bosco, considered prophetic, the
starting point of such mystical representations. A project considered audacious
for its time, such as the construction of a new capital of an extensive country,
migrating it to the interior of the territory, needed to legitimize itself. In this
sense, the prophetic character of Don Bosco’s writings was preponderant, since
Brazil in the fifties had a mostly catholic population, wich is whay the city had
its spiritual baptism in 1957 under the mantle of the Catholic Church. During
the research, it was possible to see that Juscelino Kubitschek maintained close
relationships with several groups called mystics or esoterics, wich leads me to
infer that the president outlined a more plural religious tendency than
historiography has been able to show. To investigate this and other mystical
phenomena involved in the construction of Brasilia, I concentrated my field
research within four institutions present in the Federal District: Vale do
Amanhecer, Legião da Boa Vontade, Maçonaria e Eubiose. These institutions, in
particular, from the beginnings of the construction of Brasilia, continued to give
materiality to the mystical character of the capital, also becoming importante
tourist centers. Seeking to understand the mystical representations and images
present in Brasilia from the sociological approach called “multiple modernities”,
I recognize the religious character of modernity, less as an inhibitory factor of
religious opportunities and more as a mechanism of potentiation and promotion
of dialogues between tradition and new religiosities. Thus, this research seeks
to trace, between the years 1955 to 1990, the contiguous presence of four
historical landscapes in Brasilia: The first named Earthly Paradise; the second,
the Promised Land; the third, the Capital of the Third Millennium; and the
fourth, the New Akhetaton.
