Resumo: The article is an analysis of the social construction of the persona Rio Branco, the official patron and symbol of Brazilian diplomacy. Based on the analysis of the two main biographies of this personality, both reprinted for the celebration of his 150th anniversary, we propose that his persona has been built from the fusion of the life stories of two biological individuals: José Maria da Silva Paranhos father and son, respectively Vicount and Baron of Rio Branco. The biographies are treated as narratives of a myth of origin of Brazilian diplomacy, appropriated by present-day diplomats ' self-called members of the House of Rio Branco ' to give meaning to their professional identities. Finally, the intention is to show how the narratives work as a succession of metamorphoses which allow Rio Branco to symbolize a multiplicity of world views and value scales which would possibly be conflicting but can coexist through the mythic narrative.

A partir da análise das duas principais biografias desse personagem, republicadas oficialmente por ocasião das comemorações de seu sesquicentenário de nascimento, procura-se mostrar como ele é construído a partir do amálgama das histórias de vida de dois indivíduos biológicos: José Maria da Silva Paranhos pai e José Maria da Silva Paranhos filho, respectivamente Visconde e Barão do Rio Branco. As biografias são consideradas, no âmbito do artigo, como narrativas de um mito de origem acerca da diplomacia brasileira, apropriado pelos diplomatas atuais ' membros da Casa de Rio Branco ' para dar sentido a suas identidades profissionais. Finalmente, procura-se mostrar como as narrativas operam como uma sucessão de metamorfoses que permitem que o personagem possa simbolizar uma multiplicidade de visões de mundo e escalas de valores possivelmente conflitantes mas coexistentes através da narrativa mítica.Editora FGV2000-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/2113Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 14 No. 25 (2000): National Heroes; 81-102Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 14 n. 25 (2000): Heróis Nacionais; 81-1022178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/2113/1252Moura, Cristina Patriotainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-06-14T21:01:18Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/2113Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:36.753683Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
