Movements in the geopolitcal scenes in the last decade and a singularity of the historical experience have turned Brazil, even in times of crisis, into an important force field for the reflection on Global South. The idea of a proper force inscribed in the south (e.g.south south cooperation) and a long duration debate about the emergent condition provide the Brazilian southern question with innovative contemporary elements that it is worth recovering. Or just making one question: how the Brazilian current conflicts and the consequent crisis of representations help to feed an effective rearm for the South?
