José Pereira da Graça Aranha (1868-1931), born in São Luís do Maranhão, Brazilian writer and diplomat, graduated in Law from the Recife Law School.

José Pereira da Graça Aranha (1868- 1931), natural de São Luís do Maranhão, escritor e diplomata brasileiro, formou-se em Direito pela Faculdade de Direito do Recife. Graça Aranha preocupou-se em definir o que significava ser brasileiro. Na tentativa de sanar essa questão, elaborou procurou explicar o que constituía o ser brasileiro e os motivos de se ter tais características. Divulgou seus projetos através de publicações, que compreendiam textos como ensaios, romances, entre outros. A obra Estética da vida é formada por um conjunto de ensaios, dentre os quais Aranha expõe suas concepções filosóficas de mundo, apresentando a visão de que cada povo tem uma característica própria que formaria a alma da raça. Para Aranha, cada nação integraria o todo universal através de sua singularidade. Nessa obra o autor explica como seria formado esse todo e de que maneira o Brasil poderia encontrar sua característica para integrá-lo, trazendo também sua explicação de pátria e nação. Para o estudo, vamos perceber como Aranha utilizou os ideais do determinismo racial e demográfico, o conceito de nação que apresentou, além do contexto da escrita e as principais ideias que influenciaram a produção dos ensaios.  Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-05-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/3650910.15448/1984-4301.2020.3.36509Letrônica; Vol. 13 No. 3 (2020): Representações do Brasil nas literaturas de língua portuguesa e nas literaturas de língua espanhola; e36509Letrônica; v. 13 n. 3 (2020): Representações do Brasil nas literaturas de língua portuguesa e nas literaturas de língua espanhola; e365091984-430110.15448/1984-4301.2020.3reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/36509/26291Copyright (c) 2020 Letrônicahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGraeff, Débora Priscila2020-10-30T20:44:53Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/36509Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2020-10-30T20:44:53letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
