RESUMO

The initial goal of this research was to investigate if Dreyfus affair s history - in which the jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus was unfaithfully accused of home betrayal - would have stimulated brazilian writers. Although, unlikely in France, where writers such as Anatole France, Marcel Proust and Zola himself put some affair s events inside their novels, here nothing was found on the same level, despite the affair s strong presence in brazilian media. Then, we start to analyse some chronicles, magazine articles and other sources aiming to elaborate the reception based on a common writing style. This style has as the main theoric source the melodramatic imagination by Peter Brooks (1995), based on which we analyse some of the documents found in our archive research (Casa de Rui Barbosa, Arquivo Edgar Leuenroth e Arquivo Histórico Judaico Brasileiro). After this first approach, we tried to integrate another idea, specifically attached to the brazilian scenario: an "bacharelesco" style (derived from the law rhetoric) that seemed to appear in the majority of the analysed texts. Finally, we tried to compose the caracteristics of this hybrid, here called "melodrama bacharelesco", in an attempt to achieve a large and possible understanding of of Dreyfus affair s reception in Brazil
