%X this article aims at investigating the ways whereby nature is operated in some of gilberto freyre's and roberto damatta's interpretative endeavors on the brazilian societal experience. i contend that freyre and damatta converge towards a similar epistemological framework which tends to envision contemporary brazil as a singular case in contrast to other modern societal scenarios. last but not least, i test the hypothesis according to which both freyre and damatta put forth a combination of nature with social variables that ultimately tend to reinforce the diagnosis of brazil as a unique modern case.
