| Summary: | Revisions of classical studies of the family in Brazil agree in criticizing patriarchalism
as a general and fixed model describing this institution, arguing that the Brazilian family was a
plurality of dispersed experiences. We suggest that in the essay narratives of national identity
there are already plural models of the Brazilian family, which are diversified according to local
arrangements of family relations. Considering the themes family-nation-region, we review the
work of two groups of important essayists on the construction of particular regional identities:
Alfredo Ellis Jr. e Cassiano Ricardo; Alceu Amoroso Lima e Sylvio de Vasconcellos. We argue that
these essayists articulated visions of São Paulo and Minas Gerais as cultures and societies
characterized in a significant way by experiences of a proper family organization. |
