Abstract

Vilém-Flusser emigrated from Europe to Brazil. Thirty years later, feeling Brazilian, he left Brazil and went to Europe, attesting his permanent foreign condition. This essay aims to be a phenomenological description of Brazil's nature and inhabitants from the point of view of an immigrant. Our goal is to analyze the meaning of being Brazilian and being in Brazil according to Flusser's Fenomenologia do Brasileiro. As an immigrant, Flusser could not completely engage himself in Brazil's reality. Despite feeling disoriented and confused, Flusser always looked for his identity. But, because of his superficial diagnosis of the country's nature and inhabitants, his phenomenological analysis is, in part, jeopardized.
