Abstract

Considering the idea of contemporary cultures as hybrid cultures, this article seeks to understand how the meaning of a sense of hybrid brasilidade is built, and uses hélio oiticica's work tropicália from 1967 as a visual and aesthetic exampleof it. Drawing on popular culture as the result of the double movement of resisting and containg, and considering both the changes suffered by the most tradicional aspects of culture and the transformations that they make over the global world ans its technical and cientific environments, we have not discussed the legitimity of the referred work of art as popular art. Instead, it is seen here as part of popular brazilian culture, a manifestation able to reveals symbolical, political and cultural issues that exist in it as well as ilustrate the hybrid brasilidade in construction
