Abstract
I. Brazilian Modernismo and Cultural Nationalism Edward Said's observation that modernity meant self-recognition for the West and, through the same colonial process that brought this about, a loss of subjectivity for the Orient (1-28), points to the subtlety of what was a principal project for modernist Brazilian writers: the task of self-affirmation for a culture which has been constructed in the modern world as a dependent one.1 This project is particularly complex in Latin America, whose modern culture cannot be traced to a single origin or identified solely with autochthonous roots, but rather arises from the confluence and, importantly, also the conflict of several previous cultures.
