The following Doctoral Thesis is justified by the importance of the studies on religion and political history, the relevance of new research on the thought and work of the writer, historian and sociologist Gilberto Freyre; as well as the lack of academic studies about the impact of his religious experience in intellectual production and publishing work founder of Brazil: the book Casa-Grande & Senzala, 1933. The theme of religious culture – felt, thought and experienced – by our author is inebriated and subsumed in Brazilian historiography. His main studiers prefer to discuss religion in the work of Gilberto Freyre, but our intent is different, because what interests us is the subjective religious feeling of the author himself and how it spreads, overflows and insistently returns – as a symptom – in his intellectual production. Then, the questions we face in this thesis consist on: How the religious experience of Gilberto Freyre incurs on the translation of Brazilian past? What are the political effects of the author’s religious feeling in his writing of the history of Brazil? Furthermore, the hypotheses formulated are: the intellectual trajectory of the young and the man Gilberto Freyre was marked by a puissant missionary feeling; this feeling resonated decisively, guiding and structuring their interests, intellectual and political choices; in Gilberto Freyre’s fantasy; Casa-Grande & Senzala would be a saving political project for Brazil; the religious feeling of Gilberto Freyre incur on the writing of history, provoking authoritarian political effects in his translation of the Brazilian past. The conjuncture and the historical period we studied refer to his childhood in 1906, until the publication of Casa-Grande & Senzala in 1933. This doctoral work is situated in the field of the History of Political Ideas and is guided by the perspective of subjectivized history, pursuing the confluence between the subjective, historical and political. Our referential methodological-theoretical is based on: in the Catholic religious culture in Portugal and Brazil; in the aesthetic-expressive rationality, to think about the conjuncture and the environment from the evidence; in the study of unconscious affections and emotions present in social relations by the clinical method – psychoanalysis in extension; in the dialogue between history and psychoanalysis to interpret the social symptoms; and on the political theory to identify and interpret accent affection and authoritarian character, which incur on the translation of the past and writing the history of Brazil by Gilberto Freyre.
