Abstract

In this paper we intend to analyze the reading that the Portuguese intellectuals were of the Brazilian Estado Novo, peering these visions through some reviews of the Brasilia magazine (1942-1944), published by the Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros of FLUC. This interpretation relies on the political mimesis between Salazarism and Varguism which Portuguese intelectuals legitimated by comparing the authoritarianism and corporatism on the Brazilian and Portuguese Estado Novo. First, to better understand this construction, we will give a general panel of the University of Coimbra in authoritarian times: the formative social space of the anti-liberal, anti socialists, corporativist and authoritarian intellectuals of Brasilia magazine. To then analyze the Brazilian Estado Novo image built on the criticism of Brazilian books through three particular knowledge areas: Education, Law and History.
