RESUMO

This thesis aims to study the representation of nature in social thought and literature, from the last decades of the XIXth century to the first ones of the XXth, and its connections with the creation of a sense of modernity in Brazilian culture. Its sources consist in works of politics, history, sociology and literature, comprising both ficcion and essay. The main axes adopted to this approach are: the conception of relations between Brazilian natural aspects and its history, political life and society; the use of the ideas of conflict and violence to the description of the human intervention in national territory; the image of the inlands to the development of a brazilian sensibility; the presence of nature in the projects of modernization conceived by the intelligentsia, in order to promote control, best practical use and aesthetical enjoyment of nature.
