The Dionysian Catholicism in the “Casa Grande” of Gilberto Freyre
Main Article Content
Abstract
The masters and the slaves, masterpiece of the Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre, has guided, in one way or another, the path followed by the great majority of the historical studies dedicated to the patriarchal system of the sugar plantations. This paper proposes an analysis of the Brazilian Catholicism during the period of slavery, in the context of a reinterpretation of Freyre’s work, in the light of the antagonism between the categories of apollonian and Dionysian. This Brazilian religiosity is for us an eminently Dionysian experience, opposed to the apollonian character of the Christian orthodoxy, and a key element within the model proposed by Freyre
