Gilberto Freyre and Amaury de Medeiros: tensions between cult of tradition and sanitary messianism (Recife, 1923-1926)

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyze the affinities and antagonisms between the journalist and sociologist Gilberto Freyre (1900-1987) and the physician and sanitarist Amaury de Medeiros (1893-1928). It studies their protagonism in the creation of the Centro Regionalista do Nordeste (april 1924), in the Semana das Árvores (november 1924) and in the Primeiro Congresso Regionalista do Nordeste (february 1926). The article discusses the convergence between these two men in the defense of regional identity and colonial revival style and their divergences about the mocambos and the qualities of the city and residential architecture inherited from the past. It discusses the debate between Amaury, in charge of a wide sanitary intervention in Pernambuco, and Freyre, committed to fight the emphasis on hygiene at that moment.

摘要 本文旨在剖析记者兼社会学家吉尔贝托·弗雷雷（Gilberto Freyre，1900-1987）与医师兼公共卫生学家阿马利·德·梅代罗斯（Amaury de Medeiros，1893-1928）之间的亲和性与对立关系。本文考察了二人在东北区域主义中心（Centro Regionalista do Nordeste，1924年4月）、树木周（Semana das Árvores，1924年11月）及第一届东北区域主义大会（Primeiro Congresso Regionalista do Nordeste，1926年2月）筹办过程中的主导作用。本文探讨了二人在捍卫区域身份认同与殖民复兴风格方面的共识，以及在莫坎博村落（mocambos）、过往遗留的城市与居住建筑品质议题上的分歧。本文还讨论了时任伯南布哥州（Pernambuco）大规模公共卫生干预项目负责人的阿马利，与彼时主张抵制卫生至上论调的弗雷雷之间的论战。
