Um Nietzsche à brasileira: uma leitura do pensamento nietzschiano no Modernismo (1890 -1940)

Abstract

This master thesis aims to investigate the various readings of the ideas of Nietzsche held by Brazilian modernism in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, focusing on the analysis of newspapers and magazines of the period from 1890 to 19 20, and thought the four modernist intellectuals who have appropriated most of the philosopher, namely Monteiro Lobato, Oswald de Andrade, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda and Gilberto Freyre. S uch a period was chosen because of the lack of studies on the first phase of reading of N ietzsche's thought in Brazil, made by the modernists, who have appropriated quite inventive way of N ietzsche's thought. After reading this analysis we conclude that expressed by the German philosopher ideas were indispensable to those Brazilian readers to think about the issue of modern Brazil.
