摘要:The paper analyzes the meaning of terror and love, tragic feelings, on the utopian Latin American imaginary from the novel Canaan (1902), by Graça Aranha, and Cosmic Raza (1925), by the Mexican José Vasconcelos, focusing on conflicts between race and the environment, expressed therein. On the one hand, dominates the Graça Aranha’s view, for whom the submission of man to nature means the cosmic terror; on the other hand, Vasconcelos’s vision, who finds in love a strategy for promoting the new American man. Although, they are distinct, we observe, in these works, some points of convergence and other points of tension around the evaluation of concepts race and nature. Moreover, these views are surrounded by a Christian worldview.
