| Abstract | |
Among the greatest names of the Brazilian art, most precisely in music, there is Antonio Carlos Gomes. His compositions, whose operistic style is the most consecrated, and his course as an artist were appointed in several discourses from different times as examples of the success of the Brazilian art and, in some of them, he was used as a representation of the nation or as its exaltation. This view of the existence of a nationalist ideological posture, without a clear definition of the meaning of this term, has been found in analysis about his works until today. But, among this many discourses about the composer, this dissertation seeks a comprehension about what was the discourse structured by his fellow countrymen during his professional course, focusing the relation between his work and his musics reviews, besides the construction of his own image as a composer, meaning a new reading of the composers course from the critics texts published in the Brazilians Court newspapers in Rio de Janeiro and from the letters that were left by the artist.
