Uma visão euclidiana da Amazônia: à margem da história

Abstract

The scope of this dissertation is to discuss how Euclides da Cunha presents the Amazon from the nature of man and his interactions in À Margem da História (1909), for both initially adopted a study that included the representation of nature in style time that marked the history of our Brazilian literature. Following this survey, which was intended to discuss the way in which nature left in translated literary texts, we start to contemplate the Euclidean thought from three perspectives: its temporality as thinker who interacted with the philosophical proposals of his time; their vision of the future, through engineering exercise as a source of funding for the realization of a modern country, coupled with his understanding of the Republic; and the establishment of a link between the author and the environmental issue through dialogue by ecocríticas bases, therefore, through the present echoes in À Margem da História (1909) that promote the need for social protection and state to Amazon and its natural system we can highlight Euclides da Cunha as an intellectual who discusses the problems in nature. Later, reaching the analytical time, introduced a discussion on the Euclides da Cunha to look at the relationship between man and nature in Os Sertões (1902), also present issues in À Margem da História (1909). The chronic nature, associated with the historical contexts of the region more explicit these elements started on your masterpiece. Thus, Uma Visão Euclidiana da Amazônia: À Margem da História discusses the ambivalence of the Euclidean thought against northern reality of the country, a thought that is being built along the stay of the author in the Amazon and that because of this is dual, forward of his time and protective.
