Abstract

This article analyzes the speech of U.S. President, Barak Obama, in Brazil, in 2011, from extralocality category to understand how images of Brazilian nation are formed. It arguments that American culture means to the Brazilian culture from the perspective of the colonizer, which builds images of a colonized nation,
elevating the Brazilian nation to global powerhouse, diverging it from other Latin nations. The paper proposes an approximation between the concepts
of extralocality (BAKHTIN, 2011) and nation (ANDERSON, 2008).
