  • Espaço e Pensamento Brasileiro: A Rússia Americana nos Escritos de Euclides da Cunha e Vicente Licínio Cardoso João Marcelo Ehlert Maia Sociología Euclides da Cunha peripheral modernity space and social theory Vicente Licínio Cardoso Brazilian social thinking The aim of this paper is to discuss the issue of space in the Brazilian socialimagination. My working hypothesis is that the spatial images contained insome of the reflections by “interpreters of Brazil”, like the Amazonian writingsof Euclides da Cunha and the incipient comparative sociology of VicenteLicínio Cardoso, are not related to an essentialist search for a fixed culturalidentity, but to a vision of a national civilizing process that highlights thepragmatism and openness of this experience. I contend that the “land”, asoutlined by these figures, approaches Brazilian society to other nationalformations – Russia and America –, thereby shaping a political sociology fromthe periphery. 2007 artículo científico 0011-5258 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21850104 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=218 Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.50
