BARROS, Antonio Teixeira de. Visões do paraíso: o discurso oficial brasileiro sobre ecologia e a exaltação das belezas naturais da Amazônia. Latinoamérica [online]. 2007, n.44, pp.129-156. ISSN 2448-6914.
This essay analyzes the Brazilian official discourse on environment, in the period from 1972 (“Eco 72”) to 1992 (“Eco 92”), in when it refers to Brazilian Amazon. It rescues the myth of the paradise’s vision, studied by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, to explain the current tendencies in the government’s discourse with character remarkably patriotic boasting on Brazilian Amazon. Such option is explain by the fact ed for the verification that, in several moments, the patriotic overoptimism is used by the State as a discoursive justification strategy for the international community and for the Brazilian society, as form of livening up the international pressures and internal claims.
