| description | Brazilian Modernism is an artistic and cultural movement that arises and consolidates itself in the context of the centenary of Brazilian Independence. It is a moment of redefinitions and re-positioning in the cultural field, which might be read as political gestures within the explicit search for identity that these artists and intellectuals undertake. Faced with the strong impact of immigration as well as deep economical, political, social and cultural modernization experienced in those years, it was necessary to redefine certain values. Nationalist concerns thus gained importance. In this struggle for definitions of the Other and the Self, Modernists, rejecting cultural dependence and searching for their own voice, propose an interesting alternative: anthropophagy, that is, devouring and critically assimilating the Other, the European culture, the transplanted values produced by the colony, but also those that had been historically repressed and put aside. This interesting proposal finds its major expression in Mario de Andrade&rsquo;s Macunaima; rather than being an affirmative and propositional work, it is riddled with ambiguity and a basic structural ambivalence, revealing the intellectual journey towards the building of a national identity.<br>El modernismo brasile&ntilde;o es un movimiento art&iacute;stico y cultural que surge y se consolida en el marco del centenario de la independencia del Brasil. Momento de redefiniciones y reposicionamientos en el campo cultural, que pueden ser le&iacute;dos como gestos pol&iacute;ticos, en la expl&iacute;cita b&uacute;squeda identitaria en que se embarcan estos artistas e intelectuales. Frente al fuerte impacto de la inmigraci&oacute;n y la profunda modernizaci&oacute;n econ&oacute;mica, pol&iacute;tica, social y cultural sufrida en estos a&ntilde;os, se hace necesario redefinir ciertos valores, entre los que cobran fundamental preponderancia las preocupaciones nacionalistas. En el juego de definiciones del Otro y el Mismo, los modernistas, en el rechazo de la dependencia cultural, en la b&uacute;squeda de la propia palabra, proponen una interesante alternativa: la antropofagia, es decir, la devoraci&oacute;n y asimilaci&oacute;n cr&iacute;tica (por ende, selectiva) del otro, de la cultura europea, de los valores trasplantados por la colonia, pero tambi&eacute;n de aquellos reprimidos y relegados por la misma. Esta interesante propuesta encuentra su mayor expresi&oacute;n en Macuna&iacute;ma, de Mario de Andrade, la cual sin ser una obra afirmativa y propositiva, sino m&aacute;s bien plagada de ambig&uuml;edades y con una ambivalencia estructural de base, expone los devenires intelectuales en la construcci&oacute;n de una identidad nacional. |
