Este artículo indaga en los fundamentos ideológicos del imperialismo portugués de posguerra, donde se detectan algunas tensiones conceptuales características de la justificación del dominio imperial en la modernidad tardía, como son la preocupación por el declive y la desviación de las ambiciones imperiales. De este modo, el artículo se centra en explorar cómo la teoría de Gilberto Freyre fue apropiada para legitimar las demandas portuguesas de sus posesiones de ultramar, y cómo la ideología del lusotropicalismo resultante siguió ejerciendo su influencia mucho después del fin del imperio portugués. Al destapar las tensiones estructurales y conceptuales de esta ideología, este artículo trata de desvelar algunos de los dilemas a los que se tiene que enfrentar cualquier esquema imperial en un mundo de estados con continuidad territorial y homogeneidad cultural, donde éstos se erigen como los únicos actores legitimados para reclamar la autoridad soberana
This article is an inquiry into the ideological foundations of Portuguese postwar imperialism, arguing that these reveal some conceptual tensions characteristic of late-modern justifications of imperial governance, such as anxieties about imperial decline and a deflection of imperial ambitions. Doing this, the article focuses on how the social theory of Gilberto Freyre was appropriated to legitimize Portuguese claims to authority over its overseas possessions, and how the resulting ideology of lusotropicalism continued to resonate long after the demise of the Portuguese empire. By exposing the structure and conceptual tensions of this ideology, the article tries to reveal some of the dilemmas that any imperial scheme has to confront in a world in which territorially bounded and culturally homogeneous states constitute the sole legitimate claimants to sovereign authority
