Abstract

This essay pre sents a mapping of contemporary cul tu ral cri ti que in Brazil with its main ap pro a ches: one by the heirs of Antonio Candido and the Critical theory represented by Ro ber to Schwarz, in which history and Mar xi an tradition are articulated in a con tem po ra ry revision. Another perspective given by the struc tu ra list and semiotic tradition that recovers founders like Haroldo de Cam pos, Augusto de Cam pos and Décio Pig na ta ri. And a third one which develops the notion of the entrelugar (the in-between) as defi ned by Silviano San ti a go by the end of the seventies, which is one of the most consistent alternatives to the always present opposition between “formalisms” and “sociologisms” in Bra zi li an culture. Keywords Brazil, Critical the ory, identity, Cultural Studies.
