Abstract

This paper analyzes the discourse that Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) and Evelyn Scott (1893-1963) constructed about Brazil from the starting point of their experiences in the country. The first, during post-World War II, the latter, during World War I. Carrying an elite social background, how did they view Brazil of those days?  Which relationships did they establish with its language and culture? Which emotions did they experience in the new society? Supported by perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis and of Anthropology of Emotions, the analysis is based mainly on Escapada (2019), Scott’s autobiography, and on poems and critical articles about Bishop
