It reflects on the specific process in which national identity is used by a social actor as a strategy for joining a group, taking into account the distinct power relations established within the latter. the voice of biographical discourse, the context and the readers being addressed provide the means for us to comprehend the social conditions in which the discourse is produced. cavalcanti manipulates a social identity through the recourse to symbols that, despite no longer being prestigious, helped situate him in opposition to the concept of art for arts sake implicit to disputes within the field at the time.

The period between 1945 and 1960 showed the process of formularization and affirmation of a set of artistic values in which the notions of authenticity and singularity were intrinsically related to the idea of freedom (of artistic experimentation and political positioning) and to the universalism of the French Revolution. This process was closely followed by a small but influential group of Brazilian art critics who echoed these quarrels back in Brazil and transformed the national artistic environment. The incorporation of those values and the participation of the Brazilian critics in the new artistic institutions of the period created a new arena for critical art production in Brazil. This arena was then centered in the individual and distanced of the old questions of national identity and nationalism that were central for the artistic production, with more or less intensity and focus, since middle of 19th century.
