Abstract

Self-portraits of Brazil, Mario Carelli.

Like all discourses on national identity, the quest for " Brazilianity ", that one can follow through the writings of the intellectuals,

poets and novelists, suffers from a two-fold weakness. One weakness is due to its object : national character is more easily

described than defined. The other cornes from the ephemeral and ideologically dubious dimension of the concept's références, in

particular racial criteria. But that is how Brazil " Brazilianized " itelf, particularly because this perpetual reflexion on the Brazilian, is

embodied in major works of fiction.
