A Saudade: entre a natureza fenomênica e o ontologismo cultural

Abstract

Saudade, although very pronounced and felt, occupies a minimal place in the studies and problems of the social sciences in Brazil. Therefore, the objective of this work is to understand the extent to which saudade can be thought of as a cultural ideology or derived solely from personal consciousness, highlighting an anthropological analysis of nostalgia and seeking to understand, from the Husserl Phenomenology, the notion of saudade as a phenomenon of consciousness. In the case of a qualitative research, it was chosen as methodological process by the bibliographical research of articles and excerpts of publications as much as possible on the problem of saudade and the longing consciousness. With this study, it can be realized that saudade is commonly justified by cultural reason. However, as of this publication, it is hoped that more and more sensibility can be achieved in scientific productions and that one can be enchanted with the experiences of the present, much more than the past.
