Nacionalismo e indigenismo em José Carlos Mariátegui: uma ponte entre a tradição e a modernidade

Abstract

In the dissertation, we will see José Carlos Mariátegui's proposal to surmount the ethnicgeographic dichotomy of Peru through a bridge between tradition and modernity, which is possible by a socialist project adapted to the Peruvian reality. In order for the country to become an integral and socialist nation, with the Indian as the protagonist, the peruvian thinker supports the notion of a heterodox socialism, a junction of the indigenous tradition - forgotten as a historical memory that until then valorized the Criollo element as a symbol of nationality Peruvian - with Western modernity. Thus, through an understanding of indigenism and nationalism in the speeches of intellectuals at the end of the 19th century, we will see that Mariátegui's thinking presents itself as a rupture that, nevertheless, still maintains some aspects of cultural control over the Autochthonous populations.
