Abstract

Considering recent works on the post-1870 Brazilian intellectual life, this paper examines the importance of the idea of the exotic in the conceptions of Brazilian nationalism, between Romanticism and Realism. It is taken as reference the development of the concept of the exotic by Todorov, who stresses the contradictory relationship between the national and the exotic. This paper affirms that since the Romantic movement the idea of the exotic has been an essential, although paradoxical, part of the image of Brazilian culture produced by its own writers.
