Europeans who wrote about Brazil during the colonial period (1500–1822) usually depicted the country as a healthy Eden and an exception to the “torrid zone.” For more than three centuries, a mostly positive impression of health and climate, shared by intellectuals across the Atlantic, influenced colonialism, European rivalries, the slave trade, and early national sentiment. The enduring reputation was ruined suddenly in the mid-nineteenth century by the arrival of new plagues and prejudicial ideas of racial degeneracy. Both the diseases and ideas were infectious, dramatically altering understandings of health and race well into the twentieth century. The rapid change in perception is illustrated by the beliefs of three medical experts, José Francisco Xavier Sigaud, Robert Dundas, and Gustavus Richard Brown Horner. These three men, French-Brazilian, Irish, and American respectively, exemplify the prevalent and transatlantic views of Brazil’s climate held by most medical and scientific men who lived in or studied Brazil. Yet they would revise their opinions dramatically when unfamiliar plagues arrived after 1849. When optimism finally returned in the early twentieth century, it rested on a new understanding of climate and race, but their entangled nature continues to persist.

This paper argues that Gilberto Freyre’s “lusotropicalism” was not limited to his support for Portuguese colonialism, but rather encompassed the establishment of a Luso-Brazilian imperial federation spanning Portuguese colonies in the Atlantic, Africa, and Asia. Freyre’s “imperial vision” from 1937 to 1962 is presented in four of its aspects: first, the author’s ambivalence toward the virtues and vices of British primacy; second, his regard of Portuguese colonization as the source of Lusitanian exceptionalism in world affairs; third, his view of the vices and decay of Portugal as an imperial power; fourth, his case for Brazilian participation in the maintenance of a Pax Lusitana within a binational imperial commonwealth.

This analysis takes as its point of departure the narrative process and logic, implying determinant aspects of its modal condition. Through this approach and taking as a premise the existence of a narrative epistemology with operative effects, I aim to show the explicit or masked presence of the potential of textual representation and articulation in different areas of knowledge, beyond those that are usually perceived as part of the field of Humanities. In the transdisciplinary perspective that dominates this approach, Medical Sciences, Law, Computer Sciences, and Economics are understood as fields of knowledge influenced by the narrative turn that projects on them cognitive attitudes and representational instruments usually understood as exclusive to formally conceived forms of narration.

Few authors from Brazil explore the concepts of risk and vulnerability like the writer Machado de Assis. In particular, street scenes in Machado’s work reveal aspects of vulnerability that may not be readily acknowledged or understood. Machado’s fictional representations of the street expose inequalities correlating to both race and gender, failures by the state to ensure public security for all, and limits to human agency. A study of the conditions of vulnerability that are uniquely manifest in the streets of Machado’s fiction elucidates our understanding of social organization in nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro.
很少有巴西作家像马查多·德·阿西斯(Machado de Assis)那样探索风险和脆弱性的概念。特别是，马查多作品中的街头场景揭示了人们可能不容易承认或理解的脆弱性方面。马查多对街头的虚构表现，暴露了与种族和性别相关的不平等，国家在确保所有人的公共安全方面的失败，以及人类能动性的局限性。对马查多小说中街道上独特的脆弱状况的研究，阐明了我们对19世纪巴西里约热内卢社会组织的理解。
