Abstract: The main cultural aspect of the Brazilian culture is its heterogeneity. Besides that, Brazil has other important cultural aspects such as: the paternalism; the social distance among rich and poor people; the eroticism; the Brazilian way and the high value set on foreign things - the estrangeirismo. The aim of this article is to analyse the estrangeirismo from two different readings of the Brazilian culture. The first, written by Calligaris (1991), discusses rhetoric pictures of colonist and coloniser; the second one shows historic-cultural aspects of the Brazilian culture and was written by classic authors: Caio Prado Jr., Sérgio Buarque de Holanda and Gilberto Freyre, demonstrating how this cultural aspect has been present in our country since Brazil-Colony. Moreover, we intend to discuss that the estrangeirismo may assume a feature of segregation in the organisational world.
