concernig to Regionalist manifesto

Abstract

This essay exams the Brazilian contemporaneity through the legacy left by Gilberto Freyre in his Manifesto Regionalista [The Regionalist Manifesto]. Freyre’s work anticipated several phenomena in Brazilian society, such as the inclination towards globalismo, the balance of the opposites and aspects of the private life. Also, elements of urbanism, architecture and gastronomy are observable through the lens of the Regionalist Manifesto. About this last aspect, this work exams the impact of two dishes eminently Brazilian, which came from Pernambuco: the escondidinho and the arrumadinho.
