本文探讨了巴西和英国经济精英的慈善事业，将他们的实践作为全球精英慈善项目的一部分。它辩称，这个项目有助于推动全球资本主义的目标，同时试图减轻资本主义余波的负面影响。尽管巴西和英国精英慈善事业的历史发展截然不同，这也是这两个国家在当代实践中存在技术差异的原因，但近几十年来，巴西一直试图以英国(和美国)模式为基础，建立一个制度化的慈善机构。如今，两国慈善事业设计的理念和思想框架非常相似。在对这一共同项目的民族志调查中，打着“慈善资本主义”和“战略慈善”旗号的实践表现为根深蒂固的社会变革意识形态的表达。这些问题涉及将公司战略转移到慈善事业，涉及以市场为基础的社会问题解决办法，以及试图通过将穷人更好地纳入现有经济结构来消除贫困。然而，这一调查揭示了精英经历的其他方面也如何与慈善项目纠缠在一起。在巴西和英国，精英们利用慈善来打造积极的财富认同，并将其作为管理遗产的一种工具。在巴西家族企业中，历史上关于慈善和企业社会责任的家族叙事有助于企业继任过程，试图保持家族企业--以及家族资本--随着时间的推移保持不变。最后，本文探讨了慈善中介机构的工作，以及慈善咨询和捐赠者教育方案在塑造和传播慈善趋势方面所发挥的核心作用。然而，中间人的民族志揭示了他们工作中的无数模棱两可的地方。这些都突显出精英慈善机构无力面对全球资本主义固有的不平等结构，以及自身项目面临的相应限制。
This thesis explores the philanthropy of economic elites in Brazil and the UK, positing their practice as part of a global elite philanthropic project. It argues that this project serves to further the aims of global capitalism, while attempting to mitigate the negative effects of capitalism’s fallout. Although the historical development of elite philanthropy in Brazil and the UK has been markedly different, accounting for technical differences in contemporary practice in these countries, recent decades have seen attempts to build an institutionalised philanthropic sector in Brazil based on British (and American) models. Today, the conceptual and ideological framework for the design of philanthropy in both countries is remarkably similar. In ethnographic enquiry into this common project, practices under the banners of ‘philanthrocapitalism’ and ‘strategic philanthropy’ emerge as the expression of deeply held ideologies of social change. These relate to the transposition of corporate strategies to philanthropy, to market-based solutions to social problems, and to attempts to eradicate poverty via better incorporation of the poor into existing economic structures. This enquiry, however, reveals how other aspects of elite experience also become entangled in the philanthropic project. In Brazil and the UK, elites use philanthropy to forge positive identities of wealth, and as a tool for managing inheritance. Among Brazilian family businesses, historical family narratives of philanthropy and corporate social responsibility aid business succession processes, in attempts to keep family firms – and family capital – intact with the passing of time. Finally, this thesis explores the work of philanthropic intermediaries, and the central role played by philanthropy advising and donor education programmes in shaping and disseminating philanthropic trends. Ethnography among intermediaries, however, reveals myriad ambiguities in their work. These serve to highlight elite philanthropy’s inability to confront the structures of inequality inherent to global capitalism, and the corresponding limits to its own project.
