Resumo: | The Brazilian political-social thought of the 1930s often reflects the climate of radicalism – ideological and cultural – from that time. Those were years when liberalism, socialism, integralism and fascism clashed in the public and intellectual arenas, in search of the roots of national identity and the possible paths to its destiny. In this context, the young Otávio de Faria appears, a member of the Catholic reaction, theorist of Brazilian fascism and acclaimed at the time as one of the most eloquent voices of the “new generation”. Thus, the main issue of the present work is to conceive how Faria understands the promises and limits of fascism as a possible way out of the aporias of modern Brazil. To this end, three works from his bibliography are analyzed: “Machiavel e o Brasil” [1931] (1933), “Destino do socialismo” (1933) e “Cristo e César” (1937). In his debut book, the fascist revolution is ambiguously combined with the theme of the spiritual revolution and the formation of a elite capable of civilizing the nation “from above”. In the second and third, a fascito-Catholic synthesis offers an unequivocal way out of the crisis, suggests an alternative capable of recovering the harmony between the spiritual and temporal order, as well as announces a “new world” beyond modernity. |

Eram anos em que liberalismo, socialismo, integralismo e fascismo se defrontavam nas arenas pública e intelectual, em busca tanto das raízes da identidade nacional quanto dos possíveis caminhos para seu destino. Neste contexto surge o jovem Otávio de Faria, integrante da reação católica, teórico do fascismo brasileiro e conclamado no período como uma das vozes mais eloquentes da “nova geração”. Assim, a grande questão do presente trabalho é conceber de que maneira Faria compreende as promessas e limites do fascismo como uma saída possível para as aporias do Brasil moderno. Para tal, são analisadas três obras da fase político-teológica de sua bibliografia: “Machiavel e o Brasil” [1931] (1933), “Destino do socialismo” (1933) e “Cristo e César” (1937). Em seu livro de estréia, a revolução fascista combina-se de maneira ambígua com o tema da revolução espiritual e da formação de uma nova elite capaz de civilizar a nação “por cima”. No segundo e no terceiro, uma síntese fascito-católica oferece uma saída inequívoca para a crise, sugere uma alternativa passível de recuperar a harmonia entre a ordem espiritual e temporal, bem como anuncia um “novo mundo” para além da modernidade.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-09-18info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/679510.1590/SciELOPreprints.6795porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/6795/12857Copyright (c) 2023 Gustavo Gabaldo Grama de Barros Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Gustavo Gabaldo Grama de Barrosreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-09-11T21:30:09Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/6795Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-09-11T21:30:09SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |
