ABSTRACT

O artigo explora a ideia de Europa concebida por Stefan Zweig e Hermann Ullmann nos livros quase homônimos sobre o Brasil, escritos no final da década de 1930 e início de 1940. No contexto político do entreguerras marcado pela ascensão do nazismo, pergunta-se em que sentido a Europa continua a servir de modelo civilizatório e qual a dimensão crítica que se expressa em concepções que invertem os papéis da Europa e do Brasil. Observa-se ruptura parcial com visões dicotômicas e hierárquicas acerca das relações entre o Velho e o Novo Mundo e sugerem-se novas formas de relação entre essas regiões no contexto mundial.


The article examines the idea of Europe conceived by Stefan Zweig and Hermann Ullmann in the similarly titled books about Brazil written in the late 1930s and early 1940s. In the political context between the great wars marked by the rise of Nazism, the question is posed regarding to what extent Europe continues to serve as a model of civilization and what the critical dimension is that is expressed in concepts reversing the roles of Europe and Brazil. One detects a partial rupture with dichotomous and hierarchical viewpoints about the relationship between the Old World and the New World, and new forms of relationship between these regions within the worldwide context are suggested.

ABSTRACT

No contexto do Império alemão até a ascensão do nazismo e o III Reich, o texto investiga o tema da insalubridade, do aclimatamento e das doenças no Brasil em escritos de viajantes de língua alemã envolvidos com a questão imigratória. Por um lado, o Brasil era considerado um país bastante adequado para imigrar - sobretudo quando comparado com a África e os EUA - , por outro, o clima e a ameaça de doenças tais como febre amarela, malária, tuberculose, verminoses, bem como pragas de insetos e animais peçonhentos, podiam afugentar imigrantes. Pergunta-se como autores de diferentes perfis - 'políticos coloniais', imigrantes, literatos em sua imigração forçada e cientistas - abordam essas 'ameaças', considerando que terão como leitores (potenciais) imigrantes.


In the period stretching from the birth of the German Empire through the rise of Nazism and the Third Reich, the article explores the themes of unhealthiness, acclimatization, and disease in Brazil as found in the writings of German-speaking travelers who were involved with the immigration question. On the one hand, Brazil was considered quite suitable as an immigration destination, especially in comparison to Africa and the United States; on the other, immigrants might be scared off by its climate and by the menace of diseases like yellow fever, malaria, tuberculosis, and worms, along with insect plagues and venomous animals. The question here is how authors with different profiles - 'colonial politicians,' immigrants, men of letters who were forced to emigrate, and scientists - approached these 'threats,' considering that their readers would be (potential) immigrants.
