The Bicentenary of Brazil's Independence is approaching. In 2022 we will meet again with the projects and ideals that founded the young Brazilian nation. To do this, there is nothing better than getting closer to our history and recovering the forces that made us what we are today. Our challenge will be to find new forces that will propel us forward and enable us to autonomously unravel our fundamental enigma: what to do with the historical and cultural legacy that forged who we are? In this research we are trying to contribute to an endeavour that is above all collective. We hope it will be considered a contribution worthy of the best expectations.
