          Abstract

          Resumo Analisamos as ideias do grupo de físicos reunido em torno de César Lattes, que tinha nas propostas de José Leite Lopes o núcleo de uma concepção que via a ciência como base de um projeto nacional desenvolvimentista. Leite Lopes falava, publicamente, sobre a responsabilidade do cientista diante dos problemas do país, e, privadamente, o grupo formulava estratégias para ampliar o número de polos de ensino e pesquisa no Brasil. Ao analisar cartas, discursos e entrevistas destes físicos, percebe-se uma noção de pertencimento à coletividade brasileira mediada pela ciência que impulsionou o surgimento de uma identidade científica nacional, culminando na criação do Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF), em 1949, e do Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas (CNPq), em 1951. Sugerimos o uso da categoria “nacionalismo científico” como chave interpretativa da manifestação e tomada de consciência deste sentimento, que levou os sujeitos históricos a agirem na realidade para a materialização institucional da prática da física no CBPF atrelada à ciência como matéria de Estado no CNPq.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract We analyze the ideas of a group of physicists gathered around César Lattes, which had in the proposals of José Leite Lopes the core of a conception that understood science as the base of a national developmentalist project. At the same time Leite Lopes publicly spoke about the responsibility of the scientists regarding the problems of the country, the group was privately formulating strategies to expand the number of research and teaching centers in Brazil. Analyzing letters, speeches and interviews of these physicists, it is possible to observe a sense of belonging to the Brazilian society mediated by science, which stimulated the emergence of a national scientific identity, culminating in the creation of the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF), in 1949, and of the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas (CNPq), in 1951. We suggest the use of the “scientific nationalism” category as the interpretative key of the manifestation and awareness of this feeling, which led the historical actors to act on the reality to institutionalize the practice of physics through CBPF, linked to the concept of science as a State issue through CNPq.
