País do futuro? Conflitos de tempos e historicidade no Brasil contemporâneo

Abstract

The essay reflects on the conflicts of time in contemporary Brazil as the country loses sight of a modern horizon of future. It questions how this loss of evidence of the future as a social synchronizer is revealed both in the implosion of time in the New Republic, and in the emergence of planetary time in national history, expressed by the effects of climate change. In both dimensions, which now decisively intersect, the nation’s temporal singularity is deeply called into question
