Brazil Report

Proposal and originality. The project offers an extensive synthesis of Brazil, focusing on political history, economics, and, most notably, the energy and electricity matrix. The work combines essay-like passages (a preface with theses on "Greatness" and "National Being") with an encyclopedic body and appendixes containing additional notes. The stated intention of "filling a void of concentrated information" and producing an educational text is clear and relevant for an academic and popular reader. Structure and narrative. The architecture is ambitious: a preface, chapters divided into thematic sections (general characteristics, history, economics, energy), and an index of numbered notes that serve as an extension tool. This organization facilitates consultation and allows for skipping. Development of the voice/authors. The voice oscillates between an expository-didactic tone and an evaluative register with political and historical judgments (e.g., military dictatorship, lawfare, BRICS).
