Esta interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o deixou duas quest\u00f5es essenciais em aberto: 1) Como se pode explicar que Freyre interpretou a no\u00e7\u00e3o de miscegena\u00e7\u00e3o de uma forma (muito) mais positiva do que soci\u00f3logos anteriores e 2) Como se pode explicar as tend\u00eancias elitistas e aristocr\u00e1ticas na sua obra? Este artigo explore estas duas perguntas analisando a influ\u00eancia em Freyre da filosofia de Friedrich Nietzsche atrav\u00e9s da interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o de Henry L. Mencken. Argumenta que a influ\u00eancia de Mencken foi maior do que tradicionalmente tem sido admitido e que na obra de Mencken sobre Nietzsche se pode encontrar a mesma interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o de miscigena\u00e7\u00e3o que Freyre mais tarde explorou em <em>Casa-grande &amp; Senzala<\/em>. Argumenta tamb\u00e9m que Mencken profundamente influenciou Freyre com as suas ideias aristocr\u00e1ticas e elitistas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=18275\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Masters\u00a0&amp; Slaves<\/em><\/a> (1933), the secular work of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gilberto_Freyre\" target=\"_blank\">Gilberto Freyre<\/a>, has been traditionally interpreted from the point of view of history and sociologist. This interpretation left two key questions unanswered: 1) How can one explain that Freyre interpreted the notion of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=450\" target=\"_blank\">miscegenation<\/a> in a way (much) more positive than previous sociologists and 2) How was the elitist and aristocratic tendencies in his work? This article explores these questions by analyzing the influence Freyre in the philosophy of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Friedrich_Nietzsche\" target=\"_blank\">Friedrich Nietzsche<\/a> by interpreting <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henry_L._Mencken\" target=\"_blank\">Henry L.

I Argue that the influence of Mencken was greater than has traditionally been accepted and that the work of Mencken on Nietzsche can find the same interpretation of miscegenation that Freyre later explored in <em>The Masters &amp; Slaves<\/em>. Mencken also argues that profoundly influenced Freyre with their aristocratic and elitist ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Man in the Tropics: The Nietzschean Roots of Gilberto Freyre\u2019s Multiracial Identity Concept Luso-Brazilian Review Volume 51, Number 1, 2014 pages 93-111 DOI: 10.1353\/lbr.2014.0005 Jeroen Dewulf, Associate Professor of German University of California, Berkeley Casa-grande &amp; Senzala (1933), a obra secular de Gilberto Freyre, foi traditionalmente interpretado de um ponto de vista soci\u00f3logo e [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1196,8],"tags":[17442,2652,17443,10958],"class_list":["post-36610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-literary-criticism","category-media-archive","tag-friedrich-nietzsche","tag-gilberto-freyre","tag-henry-l-mencken","tag-jeroen-dewulf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
