Abstract

In this article, Phillipe Joron presents a panel of the contemporary Brazilian society basing on the President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. For Joron, that rescues the history of Brazil in 1500, going by the Regency and other periods, Lula would be the incarnation of inconvenience forces in terms of cultural, economical and social bases. However, this theory is relative. The vertical mobility or social ascension of Brazil prove, according to the author, that the Brazilian society is more than never open to the transformations.
