My dissertation, Surrogate China: Brazilian Production in the Chinese Age (1800s-present), examines how two centuries of trade between Brazil and China underpins Brazilian narratives of national identity and its place in the world. Each of my four chapters narrates how the material objects that circulated between the two regions-tea, opium, cheap plastics, and mineral ores- not only impacted Brazilian views of China, but also shaped Brazil's own geopolitical positioning across two centuries of political change. While most transnational scholarship on Brazil focuses on the influence of European imperialism on Brazilian culture, I recuperate the essential but previously overlooked presence of Chinese commodities in Brazilian art and literature. I contend that analyzing China-Brazil ties is not only urgent for a nuanced reflection of Brazilian identity in the contemporary economic moment of Chinese investments in Latin America, but foundational for understanding a longer trajectory of Brazilian modernity, from its imperial foundations to the present day. In examining textual and visual materials in which the production and circulation of Chinese objects narrate how Brazil imagines its place in the world, my research destabilizes long-established transnational frameworks-Brazil as a "tropical Paris" -and places China as an integral but vastly understudied coordinate of the Brazilian imaginary. Given the ambivalence of Brazilian representations of China as racially degenerate on the one hand and economically aspirational on the other, designating Brazil as a "surrogate" or alternative China functions as a provocative strategy that pushes the boundaries of thinking through national formation.
