Abstract

By the late 1990s, when I was conducting ethnographic fieldwork research in Lisbon, the ‘dentists’ case’ had become a familiar trope for the presence of Brazilian immigrants in Portugal. Although it involved a small group of Brazilian and Portuguese professionals, it gained visibility in the media of both countries, escalating into a political and diplomatic quarrel, and culminating in the amendment of the 1966 Cultural Accord. I use Victor Turner’s concept of social drama to address the case as a chapter in the cyclical pattern of connection and disconnection of postcolonial Luso-Brazilian relationships. Drawing from a recent discussion on the concept of cosmopolitanism in migration studies, I employ the idea of postcolonial sociabilities to help explore the seemingly inherent ambiguities in the relationship between Brazilians and Portuguese.

后殖民社会戏剧:巴西牙医在葡萄牙的案例

到20世纪90年代末，当我在里斯本进行民族志实地调查时，“牙医案”已经成为巴西移民在葡萄牙的常见比喻。尽管它涉及一小群巴西和葡萄牙专业人士，但它在两国媒体上都获得了知名度，升级为政治和外交争端，并最终修订了1966年的《文化协定》。我用维克多·特纳的社会戏剧概念来处理这个案件，作为后殖民时期卢索-巴西关系的连接和断开的循环模式的一章。根据最近关于移民研究中世界主义概念的讨论，我运用后殖民社会性的概念来帮助探索巴西人和葡萄牙人之间关系中看似固有的模糊性。

期刊介绍： Critique of Anthropology is dedicated to the development of anthropology as a discipline that subjects social reality to critical analysis. It publishes academic articles and other materials which contribute to an understanding of the determinants of the human condition, structures of social power, and the construction of ideologies in both contemporary and past human societies from a cross-cultural and socially critical standpoint. Non-sectarian, and embracing a diversity of theoretical and political viewpoints, COA is also committed to the principle that anthropologists cannot and should not seek to avoid taking positions on political and social questions.
