Abstract

This article discusses the image of the Brazilian culture in France, in the

middle of nineteen century and the beginning of the twenty, and the role of the diplomats,

Brazilian and French travelers and writers that had contributed, favorably or not, for our

representation abroad. It were much attempts of the Brazilians to create a positive image of

the nation that, in the end of nineteen century, was seen as a retrograde and depraved

country for the mestizo. The text gives emphasis to the duality that always was present in

the formation of the national character: the search of the identity and the bond with the

French model of civilization and culture.
