Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis on the cosmopolitan demeanours of two central authors of Brazilian modernism: Mário de Andrade e Oswald de Andrade. Our purpose is to discuss the concepts of cultural difference, modernity and national identity seeking similarities and contrasts between the two writers: while Mário de Andrade departs from a traditional cosmopolitan conscience, only in the late works developing an ethnographic project to understand Brazilian culture; Oswald de Andrade will candidly express since pau-brasil poetry and the Manifesto Antropófago a Brazilian cosmopolitanism, founding an aesthetic approach that would prove fundamental to contemporary Brazilian cultural studies.
