Hosting the Olympics is a singular opportunity to build an updated narrative of the nation. Such a narrative is traditionally intended to emphasize the hosting country contributions toward the modern project through the displaying of key nationalistic accounts linking the country’s history to the development of western society. In the case of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, its organizing committee has sought into Brazil’s history different elements that were central to both the formation of Brazilian identity and the discussion over current global issues. Therefore, the country’s enduring relation with nature as well as national narratives such as modernist Anthropophagy, the discourse of ethnic miscegenation, and the myth of Brazil as a racial democracy became historical credentials to use environmentalism and tolerance as the paramount features of Rio-2016’s aesthetics as well as a means to denounce xenophobia and the effects of the Anthropocene on the planet. We argue that the exposition of these two issues in the event’s ceremonies was a way to symbolically insert the country within modernity’s forefront. In this article, we examine the sociopolitical aspects that led to the creation and popularization of Brazilian nationalistic narratives that were later used during the Rio 2016 opening ceremony and the ways such aspects were internationally conveyed during the aforementioned theatrical presentation.

食人者,五彩鸟和茂盛的自然:在2016年里约奥运会上巴西民族主义及其热带现代性的表现

举办奥林匹克运动会是一次建立国家叙事的难得的机会。这种叙述传统上旨在通过展示将国家的历史与西方社会的发展联系起来的重要民族主义话语来强调东道国对现代项目的贡献。就2016年里约热内卢奥运会而言,其组委会已探究了巴西历史上不同的因素,这些因素对于形成巴西人的身份和讨论当前的全球问题都是至关重要的。因此,该国与自然之间的持久关系以及现代叙事人类学,种族偏见,巴西作为种族民主制的神话成为使用环境主义和宽容作为2016年里约热内卢美学的最重要特征以及谴责仇外心理和人类世对地球的影响的历史证明。我们认为,在活动的仪式上对这两个问题的阐述是一种将国家象征性地插入现代性前沿的方法。在本文中,我们将探讨导致巴西民族主义叙事产生和普及的社会政治方面,这些叙事随后在2016年里约热内卢开幕式上使用,以及在上述戏剧演示中如何在国际上传达这些方面。我们认为,在活动的仪式上对这两个问题的阐述是一种将国家象征性地插入现代性前沿的方法。在本文中,我们将探讨导致巴西民族主义叙事产生和普及的社会政治方面,这些叙事随后在2016年里约热内卢开幕式上使用,以及在上述戏剧演示中如何在国际上传达这些方面。我们认为,在活动的仪式上对这两个问题的阐述是一种将国家象征性地插入现代性前沿的方法。在本文中,我们将探讨导致巴西民族主义叙事产生和普及的社会政治方面,这些叙事随后在2016年里约热内卢开幕式上使用,以及在上述戏剧演示中如何在国际上传达这些方面。
