Resumo: In Sérgio Buarque de Holanda’s Roots of Brazil (1936), Iberian culture plays an exclusive role in the genesis of the style of life and thought prevalent in Brazil, which is synthetically described in the image of the “cordial man”. This essay attempts to show that the description of Iberian culture presented in the book does not conform neatly with the intellectual dimension of cordiality. The “cordial man” is reexamined in the light of the reflections of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro on Tupinamba “inconstancy”, aiming to propose that certain traits of Amerindian culture render Sergio Buarque’s analysis of an alleged typical Brazilian mentality more comprehensible. The thesis is tentatively demonstrated by highlighting alterations in the text between its first two editions (1936 and 1948), concerning Portuguese culture and its interactions with Amerindian cultures, and by examining what one might call an inconstancy of the intellect in the chapter “The cordial man”, in comparison with Oswald de Andrade’s 1950 essay on Roots of Brazil.

Este ensaio argumenta que a cultura ibérica, tal como descrita no livro, não se conforma perfeitamente à dimensão intelectual da cordialidade. O “homem cordial” é reexaminado à luz das reflexões de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro sobre a “inconstância” tupinambá, no sentido de propor que certos traços dessa cultura tornam mais compreensível a análise que Sérgio Buarque faz da mentalidade brasileira. A pertinência da hipótese é demonstrada a partir do realce de mudanças ocorridas no texto entre suas duas primeiras edições (1936 e 1948), relacionadas à caracterização da cultura portuguesa e da sua interação com as culturas ameríndias, e de um exame daquilo que se poderia considerar uma inconstância do intelecto no capítulo “O homem cordial”, em cotejo com as leitura que Oswald de Andrade faz de Raízes num ensaio de 1950.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2019-08-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/142810.15848/hh.v12i30.1428História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 12 No. 30 (2019)História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 12 Núm. 30 (2019)História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 12 n. 30 (2019)1983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1428/798Jobim Martins, Andréinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-02T02:36:29Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1428Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2020-05-02T02:36:29História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false
