Resumo
This paper aims to do a critical reading of the national’s identity construction represented on the book Macunaíma: the hero without a character focused on the indigenous element as a matrix of the cultural miscegenation process. In an attempt to rediscover Brazil and it’s origins, the book of the modernist writer Mário de Andrade mimics and satirizes elements that he deems central in Brazil. He makes a indigenous representation as a brazilian mestizo component and promote the foreign culture deglutition as national identity resistance. For this analysis, the concepet of identity is updated through historical and dialectical materialism, which allows us to surmise from the book - that even in rupture with eurocentrism and plaster aesthetic, mainly present in the used language - that remains a bourgeois traits and metaphysical that deals with the indigenous as the other, revealing a representation and image of the primitiv, paradigma, predominant on literary production of Brazil.
