Description
Summary:In a work of denunciation and debate, the professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Nildo Ouriques, presents critical essays on social sciences in Brazil. The French costume is the metaphor through which Ouriques criticizes the school of sociology at the University of São Paulo (USP). According to him, this school of thought developed an essentially Eurocentric, colonized and academicist way of thinking that, by promoting theoretical uprooting, caused Brazilian academia to avoid the topic of nationalism, placing its back to the nation and, above all, not recognizing important Latin American theoretical contributions. According to the author, since 1964, Brazil has blocked research programs aimed at studying how to overcome underdevelopment and dependence in Latin America through a revolutionary path. This blockade expressed the defeat of radical nationalism and banned from academic debate important authors such as Álvaro Vieira Pinto and Alberto Guerreiro Ramos, as well as those who contributed to developing the Marxist theory of dependency, in particular, Ruy Mauro Marini, Theotônio dos Santos and Vânia Bambirra .
