Resumo: The article examines the affinities and convergences that bring together the first editions of Roots of Brazil and The mansions and the shanties (1936). I contend that both Gilberto Freyre’s and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda’s accounts on the social-historical processes that ushered in the formation and later modernization of the Brazilian society are torn between two seemingly incompatible perspectives: on the one hand, an internalist and substantialist interpretative approach and, on the other, a transactional view on such phenomena. At last, in light of a set of ideas outlined by some relational discussions in contemporary sociology, I probe into the contributions of Roots and Mansions towards a properly relational take on the Brazilian experience, attentive to the myriad societal connections involved in the formation and subsequent adherence of the country to patterns of sociability in tune with modernity.

Refiro-me a certas ambivalências e tensões interpretativas latentes nos ensaios, alimentadas pela coexistência de duas visadas que fazem pender as atenções de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e de Gilberto Freyre em direções aparentemente inconciliáveis: de um lado, um viés internalista e substancialista da formação e modernização do país e, de outro, uma perspectiva transacional desses processos. Na parte final do artigo, à luz dos insights oferecidos pelo debate sociológico relacional, teço considerações acerca das contribuições das obras para uma abordagem da vida social brasileira sensível à miríade de conexões socio-históricas implicadas em sua formação e adesão aos padrões de sociabilidade modernos.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/11215810.1590/15174522-112158SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 No. 59 (2022): Gender and race: southern transits in perspective; 238-263SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 Núm. 59 (2022): Género y raza: tránsitos del Sur en perspectiva; 238-263Sociologias; v. 24 n. 59 (2022): Gênero e Raça: Trânsitos do Sul em Perspectiva; 238-2631807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/112158/85034Copyright (c) 2022 Sergio Barreira de Faria Tavolarohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTavolaro, Sergio Barreira de Faria2022-07-26T03:19:19Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/112158Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2022-07-26T03:19:19Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
