The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate therelationship between culture and social structure in an 'underdeveloped'country in the course of 'modernisation', 'industrialisation','capitalist development'. More specifically, thethesis attempts to show how a particular development project beginningin the 1920's/30's with the industrialisation of Brazil,is linked to a process of emanCipation from economic, politicaland cultural dependence a project in turn reflected in the workof two major Brazilian intellectuals, whose work I argue, constitutesan attempt to create a theory of cultural emanCipationfor Brazil. As such, the thesis is also a discussion of what Iregard as a new discourse on Culture, emerging in Latin Americaand its critique of the separation of culture and society and ofthe 'Civilising rationality' of 'Western culture'.Mario de Andrade was a modernist writer, critic, pedagogue,ethnographer and head of the Government Department of Culture inSao Paulo in the 1930's. As one of the most controversial intellectualsof the period 1920-45, he explored and theorised thecentral issues around which the discussion on Culture and Societyin Brazil was to revolve: .1. the problem of national identity and dependence.2. the relationship between the intellectuals and 'the people'.3. the relationship between high and popular culture.4. the relationship between tradition and modernity.Related themes are taken up by the pedagogue Paulo Freire, working1n the Northeast of Brazil in the 1950's - 1960's, (at adifferent yet related conjuncture to the 1930's) with the Movementfor Popular Culture and later with the State in the developmentof an adult literacy campaign at national level:1. the theory of education and culture as a 'practice ofliberation'.2. the relationship between language, consciousness and powerdeveloped in the adult literacy method.3. the function of a 'critical consciousness' in the processof development.4. the redefinition of culture and development.Theoretically the thesis is grounded in a conception of developmentand underdevelopment as partial interdependent phenomena ofa global world system, and it draws on the Critical Theory ofthe Frankfurt School and Gramsci's concept of the intellectual,hegemony and the 'national-popular'.
