Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze how was the dissemination and appropriation of scientific discourse in nineteenth-century Brazil. We assume that the discourse of scientism, built in European universe that period, served as a beacon element of racial ideology advocated by the Brazilian intellectual elite of the time. To demonstrate this, we first define the concepts, terms and categories of analysis that we use in the article, then presented as speech and biologicist raciological developed in nineteenth-century Europe, to finally be able to analyze the reception and appropriation of this discourse by scientistic Brazilian intellectuals of that period. Keywords: Scientistic discourse, Appropriation, Intellectuality brazilian, Race
