Resentment and ambiguities of the Brazilian
30

Portrayed by several authors, as “patriarch of brazilian literature”
José de Alencar in several novels, but especially Senhora (Lady) portrays mode “dainty” term used by the writer and derided by Martim Vasques da Cunha, depicts the “commodification of love “and not only, but the ambiguity” here is not the result of a technique, but a confusion.” (Cunha, 2015, p. 57).
We returned a little behind, Senhora (Lady is 1875) because some analyzes interested in, for example, Antonio Candido in the formation of Brazilian literature states that “the complex perception of evil, abnormal or repression, as obstacles to perfection and as a permanent element in human conduct “(apud. Cunha, 2015, p. 57), where this complexity is because” we do not know to do anything else but we buy each other “(Cunha, 2015, p. 58).
Clarifies Martim Vasques da Cunha, this “love” is nothing more than the transposed romanticism of Europe to base our own intentions, that already manifest in money suitors in Eugenie Grandet of Balzac (1833) or Madame Bovary more faithful to romantic style published in 1857.
Properly analyzed by Vasques da Cunha, Memórias de um Sargento de Milícias (Memoirs of a Militia Sergeant – 1854) is a more realistic picture of the Brazilian romanticism of the time, where “the exuberance of language added to the clear and direct summer goes against any attempt to sweeten the characters who move in imperial society through an overblown rhetoric “(Cunha, 2015, p. 60).
The difference between Alencar and Manuel Antonio de Almeida is that “this avoids making any kind of moral judgment in his account” (Cunha, 2015, p. 61).
The contradiction of Leonardo character, son of Leonardo Pataca, despite the subtle criticism of the court society, it seems in certain analyzes, such as Antonio Candido to praise the “dialectic of trickery,” but that is only still strong signs romanticism in style, as said Cunha (pg. 62) that “all is well that ends well.”, any example is Zé Carioca in the Disney filme: Hello friends in 1942 ( Alô, amigos de 1942) is a brazilian´s trickery.

Baudelaire and modernism

In 1857, on June 25 they were published The Charles Baudelaire Flowers
of Evil, French poet of riotous living, which made the father sent to India, and after receiving the paternal inheritance, his own mother sued.
Considered a landmark of modern poetry and symbolist, Baudelaire is a portrait of a society in decay in the nineteenth century and serves to understand a bit of contemporary society, although the Brazilian matrix is Iberian, with golds nuances.
The German symbolizes Carlos Schwabe (pseudonym of Emile Martin Charles Schwabe) illustrated with the work next to the book The flowers of evil.
Launched the book was soon violently attacked by Le Figaro and collected by insult to the “good manners”, but the Baudelaire himself said about his book: “In this atrocious book, I put all my thoughts, all my heart, all my religion ( travesty), all my hate. ‘
Because the book was a 300 francs fine (reduced later to 50) and the editor to a fine of 100 francs and still had to remove six poems to launch the book.
The book can be divided as follows: the fall; the expulsion from paradise; love; eroticism; decay; the death; the time; exile and boredom, but in French received the names: Spleen et Idéal (Boredom and Ideal), Tableux Parisien (Parisian Tables) Le Vin (Wine), Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), Revolte (Revolt ) and La Mort (Death).
Soon we will revisited the week of modern art and Brazilian culture.
Essay on intolerance
18

Those who believe that only fanaticism is typical of religious, although
partly there is some truth in this, is because they lived periods of relative pacifism, by the way what is peace?
John Locke (1632-1704). (Collection “Pensadores” – Brasil Abril ed. -. p. 03-39), just wrote about this, religious hatred, the Protestant Reformation triggered in 1517, made Christianity split into two camps of hate, reached the political and influencing wars .
.
A pact was short-lived guaranteed certain “tolerance” make by Catherine Medici “Tolerance Edict” of Medici, which Voltaire quipped it would be safe fanatics, saying “reach the divine glory when it cuts you neck?” (in Philosophical Dictionary, fanaticism). But the very Voltaire was an antireligious fanatic against which wrote: “Candide”.
.
His restricted to the religious vision did not help the discourse on tolerance, evidence of this is to consult the seventeenth century dictionary, we find that the word has a pejorative meaning, who was tolerance could be accused of religious indifference or even irreligious mindset (Bobbio, 2000, p. 150) or subversive (Ashcraft, 1955, p. 532), the intolerance still meant virtue, a kind of moral integrity or firmness confusing it with values and principles.
The valid analogy to the political-ideological is that when you go intolerance fanaticism, of which he wrote Gilberto Santayana: “. Fanaticism is to step up our efforts after we missed our target,” What is the current target: improving parents ? or just self-interest and petty to hold power for power? This is political problem in Brazil.
Wrote the Brazilian consultant Luiz Roberto Bodsteim: “Fanaticism of any kind – whether religious, ideological or even the team that twist – is a cancer whose metastasis is the idea inculcated in their members that there are people who were born to be better than others . ”
