This Master’s Thesis investigates the 1637-39 Teixeira’s expedition and how it transformed the Amazon region at the beginning of the seventeenth century. It assumes that this expedition was a key historical event to challenge the balance of power in the area. It shows through historical documents how ethno-geographic knowledge was an essential tool in the discursive construction of the Amazon Natives, undermining their cultural landscapes and initiating the process by which geographical knowledge enabled European territorial power. Foucault’s framework to approach and expound on the relationship between knowledge and power is the theoretical system of analysis that helps to understand the meaning embedded in the historical documents under scrutiny. / text

The artist was the first to portray South American views, after he landed in Pernambuco with retinue of Dutch governor of colony, John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen. Post, by his 24 years old, was designated to represent for Dutch people their colony. The text reflects on visual construction of natural and human aspects in landscapes by Dutchman and how that aspects were included in colonizer imaginary about the strange world of America. European (Dutch) look about their conquered possessions in the New World was charged with exoticism and imagination. In order to understand that view, it`s paramount to study imaginary pictures reared by Frans Post, on his return to the Netherlands, and notions of landscape and exotic, wild and unspoiled nature which the Dutch people had when they thought about the Dutch colony in America. Our principal (visual) sources of research are six paintings: Vista da S? de Olinda (1662), Vista das ru?nas de Olinda (undated), Engenho (undated), Engenho (1660), Vista da cidade Maur?cia e do Recife (1653), e Paisagem com rio e tamandu? (1649), all these canvases were painted when Frans Post returned to Europe. We seek to work through a methodology that focuses on investigation of primary visual and textual material, because these textual and pictorial representations reflect the 17th-century colonial view of colonial history themes of the - here called - Dutch America / O objetivo desta disserta??o ? estudar a constitui??o do olhar holand?s a partir da visualiza??o da paisagem colonial nas telas do pintor Frans Post. O tema deste trabalho ? perceber a constitui??o de um mundo colonial por meio das telas de paisagens de Frans Post, buscando entender este mundo pelos conceitos naturais e humanos representados nas pinturas do artista. Ele foi o primeiro pintor a retratar as paisagens sul-americanas quando veio embarcado, para o Pernambuco, com a comitiva do governador holand?s da col?nia, o pr?ncipe Jo?o Maur?cio de Nassau, quando tinha 24 anos, ficando respons?vel por representar as vistas da col?nia para os holandeses. O texto reflete sobre a constru??o visual dos aspectos naturais e humanos na paisagem do artista holand?s e como este passou a compor um imagin?rio do colonizador sobre o estranho mundo americano. O olhar europeu (holand?s) sobre as possess?es conquistadas no Novo Mundo era carregado de exotismo e imagina??o. Para compreender tal vis?o ? de suma import?ncia estudar as imagens imagin?rias que foram erigidas por Frans Post no seu regresso ? Holanda e as no??es de paisagens e da natureza ex?tica, selvagem e virgem que os neerlandeses tinham quando pensavam sobre a col?nia holandesa na Am?rica. Vamos utilizar primordialmente como fonte (visual) de pesquisa seis telas: Vista da S? de Olinda (1662), Vista das ru?nas de Olinda (sem data), Engenho (sem data), Engenho (1660), Vista da cidade Maur?cia e do Recife (1653), e Paisagem com rio e tamandu? (1649). Todas estas imagens foram produzidas quando Frans Post regressou ? Europa. Buscaremos trabalhar com uma metodologia que privilegie a leitura de fontes prim?rias visuais e textuais, pois estas representa??es textuais e pict?ricas refletem o olhar colonizador seiscentista dos temas da hist?ria colonial da Am?rica que vamos chamar aqui de holandesa

A análise da documentação histórica, sobretudo jesuítica, atenta, na primeira parte, para as regras da Companhia de Jesus, no que se refere à música, e para suas adaptações e debates em missões na Ásia e na América Portuguesa. Aspectos das culturas nativas possibilitam a passagem das normas às práticas, em três espaços: costa e planalto paulista na metade do século XVI, Amazônia seiscentista e sertão nordestino nas últimas décadas do século XVII. Busca-se, assim, contar uma história de constantes negociações, na qual a música desempenha papéis plurais, onde atores colocam em jogo sonoridades que se revelam indispensáveis ao diálogo religioso entre ameríndios e missionários / Abstract: This thesis explores musical relations between Jesuit missionaries and Amerindian peoples in colonial Portuguese America (Brazil and the State of Maranhão) during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Based mainly on Jesuit sources, this work focuses initially on the musical conventions adopted by the Society of Jesus and on their discussion and adaption within the missionary contexts of Portuguese Asia and America. The thesis then argues that different aspects of native cultures enabled the transition from conventions to practice, with emphasis on three spatial contexts: the sixteenth-century coast and São Paulo plateau, the seventeenth-century Amazon, and the northeastern hinterland. In sum, the thesis develops a story of constant negotiation, where music played multiple roles and where different historical agents exchanged sounds that proved to be indispensible in the religious dialogue between Amerindian peoples and European missionaries / Doutorado / Historia Social / Doutor em História
