The sociologist and anthropologist Gilberto Freyre (1900-1987), author of The Masters and the Slaves (1933), and historian Sérgio Buarque de Holanda (1902-1982), author of Roots of Brazil (1936), are considered some of the main interpreters of Brazilian society, having produced works that continue to impact the understanding of Brazil, according to some researchers, these were the works that "invented Brazil". In this essay, I seek to analyze the impact of the experiences these authors had abroad during the production process of their best-known works. In the case of Gilberto Freyre, I highlight his academic training in the United States, and in the case of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, his free training in Germany. I believe that due to different academic and cultural experiences abroad, Gilberto Freyre and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda developed different interpretations of Brazil. Based on the analysis of their biographies and their best-known works, I seek to highlight how some of the main interpretations of Brazilian society were only possible due to the "intellectual diaspora" in which these authors participated, trying to understand the influences permeating their work.
社会学家和人类学家Gilberto Freyre(1900-1987)是《主人和奴隶》(1933)的作者，历史学家ssamrgio Buarque de Holanda(1902-1982)是《巴西的根》(1936)的作者，他们被认为是巴西社会的主要解释者，他们的作品继续影响着人们对巴西的理解，根据一些研究人员的说法，这些作品“发明了巴西”。在这篇文章中，我试图分析这些作家在国外的经历对他们著名作品的创作过程的影响。就Gilberto Freyre而言，我强调了他在美国的学术培训，而就ssamrgio Buarque de Holanda而言，我强调了他在德国的免费培训。我认为，由于国外不同的学术和文化经历，Gilberto Freyre和ssamrgio Buarque de Holanda对巴西有不同的理解。基于对他们的传记和最著名作品的分析，我试图强调对巴西社会的一些主要解释是如何由于这些作者参与的“知识分子流散”而成为可能的，并试图理解渗透到他们作品中的影响。

Beyond being a renowned founding proponent and scholar of Brazilian miscegenation theory, not much is known about Gilberto Freyre as a poet. His unique poetic collection, Poesia Reunida[i] (1980) [Collected Poetry], provides a rare window into the journeys and reflections of the anthropologist as he travels the world. Invoking issues related to women, family, slavery, nostalgic landscapes, and an overall sensibility to Lusotropicalist fantasies, Freyre embraces multiracial ideology while also exuding a laissez-faire attitude towards the struggles of the weak—,the colonized Amerindian and enslaved African population in Brazil— whom he superficially empathizes with. Whether he shares individual memories of transverse landscapes within and outside Brazil, iconic images of certain personalities in the characterization of Brazilian identity or his own circle of family and professional intimacies, Freyre deploys a curious imagistic vision. He engages the reader with a blend of scientist and humanist in his rendering of a transcendental world through poetry. Drawing upon the influences of T. E. Hulme, Ezra Pound, Amy Lowell, and Manuel Bandeira, this study focuses on the portrait of the sociologist as a man of poetic consciousness. As a poet of substance, Freyre deploys such ideas as sentimentality, nostalgia, memory, and sensibility, as he painstakingly struggles to transcend the limits of his pre-existing label as the miscegenation theorist in Poesia Reunida.
