ABSTRACT

Baseado no arquétipo de alteridade, o autor estuda o símbolo do complexo do vira-lata associado pejorativamente à identidade multicultural brasileira, para descrever seus aspectos admiráveis centralizados no símbolo da miscigenação. Considerando simbolicamente a figura de dom Pedro II, ele a associa com o lado positivo do símbolo do vira-lata, pelo fato de o imperador, denominado pejorativamente Pedro Banana, ter repudiado as características luxuosas e soberbas inerentes às elites europeias e ter se dedicado a valorizar a simplicidade da figura do estadista no amor por seu país.


The author analyses the symbol of the stray dog complex associated to a Brazilian inferiority complex and interprets its valuable meaning considering miscegenation in the Brazilian multicultural society. The symbol of the stray dog is associated to the personality of dom Pedro II, emperor of Brazil for almost fifty years, and points out the derogatory qualities attributed to the emperor to the point of nicknaming him Pedro Banana. It corresponds to qualities he cherished such as simplicity and aversion to vanity and luxury resembling the stray dog.
