Brazilian cultural history and politics

Considering May as an abreviation of the historical time which concentrates lots of expeiriences in politics, this text tries to translate the past into present, in the benjaminian sense of celebration. To celebrate date is to be born in each birthday. It is intended to show true mutations of colective imaginary which doesn't know the transcendency of the power and the efficiency of its laws. This movement was neither guided by the set of ideas of a show society or its laws. Gathering together the politician and the politician, it assured the truth of the desire. Whereas it is understood as insurration, rebelion or revolution, it can be said to be reharsal of the revolution , which using no violence, generous culture of cosmopolitism , and intencionalism, has indicated the way from the scientific socialism ' to the socialism which was possible to be stablished, the Utopic. This text also reflects about some revolutionary icons and their new meanings , setting the difference between the mythical hero and the historical hero, between Lenin or Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburgo or Fidel and the myth Guevara.
