Abstract

This study approaches the aspects about the problematization of the concept of “national identity” and “social formation” in Gilberto Freyre’s Casa Grande & Senzala, using this as a “methodological bridge” to expose the critical readings of sociologist Jessé de Souza in relation to to “culturalist theories”: social science paradigm where pre-modern analytic categories such as “personalism” and “patrimonialism”, for example, updated by social anthropologist Roberto DaMatta are presented as tools for thinking about contemporary Brazil. By gathering and comparing the authors’ main texts on the issue of “modernization” (DaMatta’s Carnivals, Tricksters, and Heroes and The Selective Modernization of Jesse), it is pointed out that institutions such as the State, civil society, and the market are not. they can be confused or dominated by the “social capital of personal relations”, but understood as fields of social interest.
