The emerging field of psychosocial studies signifies a confluence of

disciplines for whom the fantasies, repressions and cultural practices

underlying national identity represents a crucial research focus. This book

presents a psychosocial portrayal of Brazil's arrival on the international

stage in the economic boom of the run-up to its hosting of the 2014 World Cup

and the 2016 Olympic Games. This former Portuguese colony is a country of

contradictions in need of a new image; a nation that needs to be able to both

love and sell itself in today's neo-liberal reality. It argues that a

contemporary representation of Brazilian subjectivity is best enabled through

an interdisciplinary perspective. Five key themes - to be explored in all

their contradictions and ambivalence - structure the book: fantasies of the

nation; xenophobia and denial; Brazilian cultural practice; transnational

mobility; and gender, race and Brazilian identity.
