Utopias sociais e cientificistas no Brasil, no final do século XIX

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the different social and scientific utopias that circulated around Brazil in the second half of the 19th century. Introduced to the country in the 1840s, they gained ground when positivism took root, especially in the 1890s, when a wave of modernization ensued in the country, typical of the belle époque.
