Descrição
O início do século XXI está sendo caracterizado por uma forte mudança no panorama internacional, pensando em distribuição das decisões em nível mundial. As duas profundas crises econômicas – de 2008 e a atual – estão forçando a ampliação dos fóruns de decisão sobre a política financeira internacional, abrindo espaço para as chamadas economias emergente. Nesse contexto, o Brasil e o seu crescimento econômico têm chamado a atenção dos países europeus e de seus habitantes, convertendo-o, mais uma vez, no retrato da terra de oportunidades. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente artigo é pensar em que medida essa situação tem influenciado a percepção sobre os brasileiros no exterior e sobre o modo como eles enxergam o país. Novas imagens sobre o Brasil estão nascendo, embora velhos estereótipos ainda persistam, mas é forte a ideia – pensando na comunidade brasileira – de que estão culturalmente mais preparados para lidar com a diferença e com as dinâmicas de integração. Palavras-chave: imigração brasileira; representação; imagem do Brasil; integração Abstract: The beginning of the XXI century is been characterized by a strong change in the international panorama, thinking about the partition of the decisions in a worldwide level.
