Fernando de Azevedo e a história a partir d’a cultura brasileira

Abstract

In this research, I take as the main source/document, although not exclusive, the work: A Cultura Brasileira (2010) published in 1943, the object is the author's conception of history and his representation of the temporal process. Dealing with this problematization enables a reading of how an intellectual organizes and gives historical meaning to the world and the things of life. Adopting a methodology based on bibliographic interpretation, the questions center on understanding the use of temporal experiences to understand Brazilian culture. Therefore, the objective is to present Fernando Azevedo with his way of reporting and interpreting Brazil. Thus, we privilege problems inherent in the forms of representation of the past in which history supports the perception of temporal experience for the explanatory, descriptive and interpretive propositions of the sociologist-educator's time.
