O nacionalismo brasileiro e o indianismo em forma de poema: a exaltação do eu lírico feminino e do amor rechaçado em Marabá, de Gonçalves Dias

Abstract

In this article we deal with Brazilian nationalism expressed by Gonçalves Dias in his work and, as an example, Marabá, one of his most iconic poems, where the lyrical self is expressed through character‟s pain of being excluded from her habitat the lament for the lack of the sense of belonging, the same way that happened to the poet. Despite his Lusitanian ancestry on his father‟s part, Gonçalves Dias was always homesick about the land that had witnessed his birth and growth, his beloved Brazil when he was in Portuguese lands. Extolling our Brazilian natural beauties inside and outside its geographical boundaries in full swing of the first phase of Romanticism and in the pursuit of a national hero who represented the nationalist feeling that the country had been experiencing since the Republic Proclamation in 1889, Gonçalves Dias consolidated among us both Romanticism itself and the incipient Indianism. In this brief literature review, we present this unique writer and poet, his literary ideal, the nationalism that he shaped in his work and an example of such work with the poem Marabá.
