“Rediscovering” Brazil? “Rediscovering” Brazil? A Qualitative Study of Highly-Skilled Portuguese Immigration in Brazil in the Twenty-First Century By Maria Luana Gama Gato Brazil always excites the imagination of those who behold it. The intensity of the light, the brightness of the color, the richness of the vegetation, the vastness of the landscape, the beauty of the people combine to make a seductive sight few have been able to resist. The alternating simplicity and complexity of the land and its inhabitants further intrigue any who delve even shallowly beneath that alluring surface.

A Qualitative Study of Highly-Skilled Portuguese Immigration in Brazil in the Twenty-First Century Author: Maria Luana Gama Gato Student No: 3058077 Supervisor: Master Thesis in Human Geography Dr. Olivier T. Kramsch Specialization in Department of Human Geography Migration, Globalization, and Development Nijmegen School of Management Nijmegen School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen Radboud University Nijmegen Contact: [email protected] Acknowledgements I started studying Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies in 2008 out of interest for different cultures and how they interact with each other. Truth be told, I was really just curious as to why we just seem to be unable to perceive others (or ‘the Other’) as simply humans; why we emphasize the differences between us instead of the similarities; why there even is an us-they dichotomy. Years of studies increased my interest in inequality and injustice. My bachelor’s thesis dealt with public space management in Mexico City, and I decided to do a master’s in Human Geography, with a focus on Globalization, Migration and Development. I started in 2012, finished my courses, wrote my proposal, left for Brazil to research mega-event led evections, and came back – heart-broken, but mostly insecure about all the choices I had made in the past five years. This thesis is the result of a second research project, a second research proposal, and a second fieldwork experience in Rio de Janeiro – all within an 18 month timeframe. It is also a very personal piece that has brought me closer to my roots and the cultures that have formed me. It has taught me so much more than all the theories, topics, approaches, methods, perspectives, and dimensions I have studied during all my university classes. It has formed a bridge between my ‘Portugueseness’, my ‘Brazilianness’, and my ‘Dutchness’. In a way, this thesis is me. It would not have been possible without the immense help of my supervisor. Olivier, thank you so much for your unconditional support, for the kind words of encouragement, for the trust you put in me, and for our talks about Brazil and Latin America over coffee. And especially: thanks for “sticking with me” to help me finish this master’s “on whatever topic I’d choose”. Thank you for remembering me that people like us “build bridges”. I cannot even imagine having done this work without your contribution and personal knowledge of how it feels to be a little bit of everything. Thanks to all my respondents in Rio de Janeiro: those who replied to my messages on social media and those who even indicated other friends. I hope you enjoyed participating, and I most certainly hope the results in this thesis match your expectations and experiences in Brazil. Valeu pela força! To my Mom and my sister: thanks for the support, especially during the difficult moments of this very long process. Moek, I hope this thesis makes you proud of having raised us “like nomads”: I certainly am, and I would not change a thing about our history! Zusje, my personal designer: thanks for the technical support at the end! To my co-workers at the University Sports Centre (USC): een grote thanks for 4.5 years of countless hours at the reception, good nights out in town, and good laughs at the reception. Thanks for the studying in the back-office during exam weeks, for covering my shifts in the last weeks of this thesis, and, of course, for warmly welcoming me back this year after extensive goodbye sessions. I hope you all know you have made my time in Nijmegen so much more interesting! To my Brazilian friends in Nijmegen – thank you for creating a Little Brazil in the Netherlands! Ana, a special ‘thank you’ for being such a good friend in difficult times. To my friends in Brazil – especially Roberto, Maitê, and Douglas – thanks for the support during my two stays in Brazil in the past 1.5 year. Vocês são show e a Lapa nos espera!

Introduction Migration in the sense of human mobility is inherent to human kind. The exploration and subsequent colonization of the world by European states around the end of the Middle Ages served as a stimulus to the first significant waves of international migration of all kinds and numbersCastles ( & Miller, 2009, p. 79). Despite this secular history of human mobility, the scopes and numbers of today’s flows are incomparable to previous ones, leading some scholars to refer to today’s era as “The Age of Migration” (Castles & Miller, 2009).

O’Shea, Chair My dissertation investigates the politics of festival curation and production in artist-led theater festivals across the Portuguese-speaking (or Lusophone) world, which includes Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. I focus on uses of Lusophony as a tactics to generate alternatives to globalization, and as a response to experiences of racialization and marginalization stemming from a colonial past. I also expose the contradictory relation between Lusophony, colonialism, and globalization, which constitute obstacles for transnational tactics. I select three festivals where, I propose, the legacies of the colonial past, which include the contradictions of Lusophony, become apparent throughout the curatorial and production processes: Estação da Cena Lusófona (Portugal), Mindelact – Festival Internacional de Teatro do Mindelo (Cabo Verde), and Circuito de Teatro em Português (Brazil).

Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country’s most dynamic economies. Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment.

  • Dissidência Política De Henrique Galvão Em “Carta Aberta a Salazar”
    Revista Cantareira criada e mantida por alunos da área de História da UFF ISSN 1677 7794 O Santinho em cuecas: dissidência política de Henrique Galvão em “Carta Aberta a Salazar” (1959) 15a Por André Luiz dos Santos Vargas edição Email: [email protected] Mestrando e bolsista CAPES pelo PPGH/UFG Resumo: Uma das mais importantes obras de Henrique Galvão foi “Carta Aberta a Salazar”, pela qual expôs seu pensamento político de dissidente e opositor do regime em Portugal. Em 1947 ainda era homem do governo e publicou o “Relatório de Huíla” no qual denunciara corrupções políticas e crimes contra os povos africanos das colônias portuguesas, mas foi com a Carta – escrita enquanto estava preso – que Galvão expôs seu pensamento de forma mais informal: com sarcasmo, ataques ao regime, ataques pessoais a Salazar, denúncias e muito ressen- timento. A obra foi censurada pela PIDE e vários exemplares foram apreendidos em Portugal, mas os publicados na Venezuela e Brasil sobreviveram e hoje a carta-aberta é um importante documento para se compreender a oposição ao Estado Novo. Palavras-chave: Henrique Galvão; salazarismo; escrita de si. Abstract: One of the most important works of Henrique Galvão was “Carta Aberta a Salazar” (Open Letter to Salazar) in which he exposes his dissident political thought of the regime in Portugal. In 1947 he was still a government’s man when he published the “Huíla Report” in which political corruptions and crimes against the African peoples in the Portuguese colonies were denounced. But in the Carta – written while he was prisioner – he exposed his political thought by an informally way: with sarcasm, attacks against the regime, personal offences to Salazar, denounces and a lot of resentment.

  • Brazil Looks to Africa: Lusotropicalism in the Brazilian Foreign Policy Towards Africa
    Brazilian Journal of African Studies | Porto Alegre | v. 3, n. 5, Jan./Jun. 2018 | p. 31-45 31 BRAZIL LOOKS TO AFRICA: LUSOTROPICALISM IN THE BRAZILIAN FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS AFRICA Fernando Sousa Leite1 Introduction When becoming President of Brazil, in January 31st 1961, Jânio Quadros set to execute a number of actions in the international stage, through what was called the Independent Foreign Policy (PEI)2. The foreign policy of this president intended to, among other measures interpreted as unexpected and original, pursue a continent long overlooked in the foreign relations portfolio of the country: Africa. Differently from his predecessor Juscelino Kubitschek, that defended a “rearguard foreign policy, in opposition to an advanced internal policy” (Rodrigues 1963, 392), Quadros will assume what can be considered an avant-garde position in the foreign scope, even though he developed an internal policy interpreted as conservative. Despite Jânio Quadros representing a ludicrous character in the national historiography, the idealization of the Africanist strand of his foreign policy was based, overall, on pragmatism. It was about making Brazil’s foreign performance meet the demands of that time, an attempt to adjust its actions to the then undergoing set of modifications in the international relations. The way in which this inflexion towards Africa was executed can be criticized under different aspects, but the diagnosis of the necessity of an opening to Africa can be adduced as correct. The economy dictated the paths to be followed by the foreign policy. In a rational perspective, the addition of the recognition of the independence of the African territories to the international action calculations of Brazil 1 Rio Branco Institute, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brasília, Brazil.

  • Portugal, O Estado Novo, António De Oliveira Salazar
    PORTUGAL, O ESTADO NOVO, ANTÓNIO DE OLIVEIRA SALAZAR E A ONU: POSICIONAMENTO(S) E (I)LEGALIDADES NO PÓS II GUERRA MUNDIAL (1945-1970) Ana Campina e Sérgio Tenreiro Tomás Resumo: A análise do discurso e da retórica de António de Oliveira Salazar, e do Estado Novo, as Relações Internacionais e Diplomáticas portuguesas são reveladoras da disparidade entre a imagem criada pelo discurso e pela realidade. Portugal, pelo seu posicionamento geopolítico, desempenhou um importante papel durante a II Guerra Mundial pela Neutralidade Colaborante, com os Aliados e com Hitler. As Relações Internacionais com a ONU, como com outras Organizações, foram diplomáticas mas complexas pelo Império Colonial. Salazar não contestou nem se sentiu obrigado a implementar as medidas solicitadas. Com a Guerra Colonial Portugal recebeu diversas “chamadas de atenção”, em particular pela ONU, que ignorou e em nada mudando a luta armada, com resultados catastróficos para todos e com a morte de milhares de militares, assim como com consequências físicas e psicológicas para os sobreviventes. Indubitavelmente Salazar gerou uma imagem díspar da realidade na qual se violavam os Direitos Fundamentais e Humanos. Palavras-Chave: Salazar, Estado Novo, Discurso, ONU Title: Portugal, Estado Novo, António de Oliveira Salazar and the UN: Position(s) and (i)legalities in the post World War II (1945-1970) Abstract: The analysis of António de Oliveira Salazar and the Estado Novo speech and rhetoric, the Portuguese International Relations and the Diplomacy are clear concerning the “distance” between the image created by th e speech and the reality.

  • Intersections of Empire, Post-Empire, and Diaspora: De-Imperializing Lusophone Studies
    Intersections of Empire, Post-Empire, and Diaspora: De-Imperializing Lusophone Studies CRISTIANA BASTOS Universidade de Lisboa Abstract: The present article opens with a generic plea for the de-imperialization of Lusophone studies. A de-imperial turn should allow researchers to explore more thoroughly the experiences of diaspora and exile that an empire-centered history and its spin-offs have obfuscated; it should also help to de-essentialize depictions of Portuguese heritage and culture shaped by these narratives. Such a turn promises to address the multiple identifications, internal diversities, and racialized inequalities produced by the making and unmaking of empire. My contribution consists of a few ethnographic-historic case studies collected at the intersections of empire, post-empire, and diaspora. These include nineteenth- century diasporic movements that brought Portuguese subjects to competing empires; past and present celebrations of heritage in diasporic contexts; culture wars around representations; and current directions in post-imperial celebrations and reparations. Keywords: Portugal, de-empire, plantations, labor, migrations, heritage I make a plea in the present article for the de-imperialization of Lusophone studies. I suggest that expanding our scope beyond the geographies of the Portuguese empire will enrich and rescue some of the current discussions on identity and heritage, tradition and change, centrality and peripherality, dependency and development, racism and Lusotropicalism, gender, generation, as well as other issues. 27 Bastos The shape and shadows of empire have powerful afterlives. In spite of the literature that addresses the centrality of migration, displacement, and exile in the overall experience of being Portuguese, mainstream representations of Portuguese identity are, to this day, dominated by evocations of empire—be it through the theme of discoveries or through variations of Lusotropicalism.

S.) by Pinzon, who claimed it for Spain.In the following year Cabral touched there and claimed itfor Portugal.For nearly thirty years Portuguese kings neglected the country, hut their subjects continued its coloni- zation and combated the Spanish and French who sought to occupy it.In the 1530's John III of Portugal introduced the first organ- ized government.The colonial period lasted for approximately three centuries.During that time the ports of the colony were open only to Portuguese ships.All others were barred, for Portu- gal, being financially unsound, wished to secure the national re- sources of Brazil for herself.These consisted principally in mineral wealth, reported to exist in fabulous quantities.But Portugal being small, the Portuguese settlers were too few to fill the colony rapidly. When the colonial period ended in 1808 the population of Brazil was only 4,000,000, an estimate made then and now consider- ed fairly accurate by Brazilian government officials.At that time the Brazilian colony was raised to the rank of a nation and given equal rights with Portugal; the ports were opened to ships of all nations.

  • The Politics of the Essay Lusotropicalism As Ideology and Theory
    The American Sociologist https://doi.org/10.1007/s12108-020-09459-9 The Politics of the Essay Lusotropicalism as Ideology and Theory Filipe Carreira da Silva1,2 & Manuel Villaverde Cabral2 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract In this article we discuss the politics of the essay of three major twentieth-century Portuguese-speaking intellectuals: Gilberto Freyre, Jorge Dias and António Sérgio. Our topic of discussion is Lusotropicalism. Through an examination of the essayist pro- duction of these thinkers (1920s–1960s), we revisit this social theoretical account of racial miscegenation, social assimilation and cultural hybridity originally developed by Freyre by reference to Brazil and later extended to the case of the Portuguese colonial empire. In particular, the article shows how the essay performs a crucial role in the origins, process of development and the implications of this social theory. By eliciting a reflective interplay between form and content, the essay trumps both the journal article and the monograph in providing these three key intellectuals with the outlet with which to think through a social theory that briefly doubled as an ideology of state. Keywords Lusotropicalism . Essayism . Gilberto Freyre . Jorge Dias . António Sérgio . Postcoloniality . Hybridity . Miscegenation Introduction In this article, we discuss the “essay form” as an important tradition in the history of the social and human sciences in Portugal (Silva 2015). The essay form is here both our object of study, namely as it appears in the writings of Gilberto Freyre (1900–1987), Jorge Dias (1907–1973) and António Sérgio (1883–1969), and, to use Adorno’s formulation, a “speculative investigation of specific, culturally pre-determined objects.” (Adorno 1984, * Filipe Carreira da Silva [email protected] Manuel Villaverde Cabral [email protected] 1 Selwyn College, Cambridge, Cambridge, England 2 Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal The American Sociologist p.
