| Sumario: | Historically, both friendly and conflictual relations have been established between Brazil and other Latin American countries. Considering these relations, it is important to reflect on how they manifest for Brazilians and are incorporated into their subjectivities. Thus, this study offers reflections on the Brazilian imagination regarding the sense of belonging to Latin America. Situated within the field of glotopolitics, this work consists of a discursive analysis of a corpus built from user comments on a social media platform in response to audiovisual content it made available, which asserts that “Brazilians do not recognize themselves as Latin Americans.” The analysis allows for an understanding that, in this case, Brazilian identity is asserted in antagonism to Latin American identity and is based on an ideology that negatively evaluates the social group associated with it. In this relationship, linguistic ties acquire a central role. |
