Abstract
In this research record, I outline a sociological approach to the entanglement between individual subjectivity and cosmopolitanism in Brazilian culture, in and through the memoirs of Pedro Nava. Two research experiences inform the text. At the original point of departure, multiple activities concerning Nava over the last ten years - as researcher, classroom teacher, thesis supervisor, and editor of republications of his work. At the other end, which is not, though, merely a point of arrival but also a fresh point of departure, these experiences are partly reoriented towards a collective project, “Minas world: cosmopolitanism in Brazilian culture,” which we are launching in a large national and international network of interdisciplinary research and cooperation.
