Abstract

 An Eurocentric conception of cosmopolitanism is questioned by thinkers as K. , Appiah, Walter Mignolo, Silviano Santiago among others, to search possible ressemantizations of the term in the contemporary context, marked by the globalization, the multiculturalism and the expansion of the new technologies of communication. Considering this confrontation of comopolitanisms, this paper inquires how are several interpretations of Brazil, at the beginning of century XX, when the tensions between cosmopolitanism and nationalism had grown up. This research, on the other hand, aims to confront such interpretations with those that appear at the beginning of century XXI, when the nation is anymore the center of a system of signification, at heterogeneous time and of globalization, when is it possible to speak in “cosmopolitismo do pobre” (subaltern cosmopolitanism) formulated by Silviano Santiago.
