[pt] O presente trabalho procura analisar o processo de construção da imagem do Oriente pelo Ocidente nos séculos XVI e XVII através do estudo da trajetória da missionários da Companhia de Jesus. Isso é realizado através da analise de uma das primeiras obras publicadas pelos jesuítas na China, O Tratado da Amizade escrito por Matteo Ricci. Dentro do horizonte das Grandes Navegações o método acomodativo dos jesuítas demonstrou uma série de procedimentos históricos que marcaram o primeiro contato intercultural entre Ocidente e Oriente no começo da Modernidade. / [en] This work seeks to analyze the construction process of the Orient as image created by Occident in the XVI and XVII centuries by the study of the trajectory of the missionaries from Companhia de Jesus.

On the horizon of the Great Navigations the accommodative method developed by the Jesuits showed a series of historic developments that marked the first intercultural contact between East and West on the dawn of Modern Age.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a relação homem-natureza no Tesouro Descoberto no Máximo Rio Amazonas, obra escrita pelo jesuíta João Daniel, em meados do século XVIII. Expulso pelo ministério pombalino em 1757, o jesuíta, nos catorze anos em que ficou preso em Portugal, escreveu uma extensa obra sobre a região amazônica, na qual traça um panorama de sua natureza, suas populações e sua cultura. Seus escritos, entretanto, têm por objetivo apresentar um programa de reformas nos métodos de aproveitamento das riquezas naturais da região no intuito de fomentar o aumento do Estado. Seu projeto conta com duplo alicerce: os tesouros descobertos na região e a experiência que serve de guia para o desenvolvimento dos métodos mais adequados de usufruto dos tesouros. / This paper aims to discuss the relationship between men and nature in \"Tesouro Descoberto no Máximo Rio Amazonas\", a book written by the Jesuit João Daniel, in the middle of the eighteenth century. Banned by the pombaline ministry in 1757, João Daniel, during the fourteen years while he was arrested in Portugal, wrote an extensive work on the Amazon region, which depicts its nature, people and culture. His writings, however, aim to present a program of reforms in the methods of exploitation of that region\'s natural resources in order to foment the growth of the state. His project is based on two principles: the treasures discovered in the region and the experience that serves as a guide for the development of more appropriate methods of using the mentioned treasures.

A partir da obra Cartas dos primeiros jesuítas do Brasil, organizada por Serafim Leite, este trabalho busca estudar alguns aspectos do processo de produção livresca do século XVI, em particular as condições de redação e de edição dos livros manuscritos e impressos, dentro e fora do ambiente da Igreja Católica, e a sua circulação na Metrópole e na Colônia. A partir da observação de um momento histórico em que a maneira de ler, escrever e difundir os textos sofreu mudanças profundas, pretende reconstruir parte da história da cultura material do livro no século XVI. / Using as reference the work \"Cartas dos Primeiros Jesuítas do Brasil\" organized by Serafim Leite, this study aims to analyse some of the aspects related to the book production process during the XVI century, particularly the ones that refer to the writing and editing of manuscripts and prints inside and outside the perimeter of the Catholic Church, and the circulation in both the Metropolis and the Colony. By analysing a particular historical moment in which the way texts were read, written and divulged went through deep changes, the study seeks to retrieve part of the history of the materiality of books in the XVI century.

This is a study of Japanese folding screens decorated with a variety of cartographic imagery of European origin. The central argument of this work is that Japanese cartographic namban screens made during the period considered in this dissertation can assist us to further understand the marked Christian eschatological character of the pictorial programmes decorating these screens, reflecting European contemporary hopes about the messianic coming of a universal Christian King, and about the Christian future of Japan at the onset of Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada's ban against Christianity (1614). By taking into account the use of folding screens as diplomatic gifts, this research seeks to argue that the hybridity of namban cartographic screens reveals as much about the expectation of Jesuit missionaries towards the evangelization of the Japanese archipelago as they did about how Japanese artists and observers understood European cartographic knowledge within a pre-existing local ritual use of maps and cartography. This dissertation is composed of four chapters. In chapter one I describe the material qualities of folding screens, the architectural environments in which they were displayed, and how the practice of donating folding screens as diplomatic gifts was eventually co-opted by the Jesuit missionaries operating in Japan. Chapter two is a discussion on the organization and the passage of the first Japanese diplomatic mission in Europe and the role that European cartography and geographical allegories played in this event. In chapter three I will examine the dissemination of Christian sacred images in Japan and the establishment of a Jesuit school to train Japanese artists in western-style painting. Chapter four unpacks the discussion developed in the preceding chapters and focuses on two specific pairs of namban cartographic screens - the Map of the World and Twenty-Eight Cities (today at the Imperial Household Agency in Tokyo) and the Battle of Lepanto and World Map (today at the Kosetsu Museum in Kobe) - for which I propose a new interpretation.

My research analyzes the way in which Ludovico Antonio Muratori portrayed marginal peoples of the New World in his Il Cristianesimo Felice nelle Missioni De' Padri della Compagnia di Gesù nel Paraguai, published in 1743. I argue that Muratori used his portrayal of the native people of Paraguay as a means to express his ideas of how to reform the Catholic Church, at a time when Catholicism was just experiencing the first waves of enlightened influence from the north. I engage with scholarship on the Enlightenment that has addressed specifically the cultural impact of what has been called the Catholic Enlightenment in Italy. In this scholarship Il Cristianesimo Felice has been virtually unrepresented, and I argue that it is a valuable resource in gaining a better understanding the reform agendas of Muratori and the Catholic Enlightenment movement in Italy. I center my analysis on two specific elements in Il Cristianesimo Felice. First, I address Muratori's assessment of the four political systems administered simultaneously by the native population, the Spaniards, the Mamelusses, and the Jesuits. Through my analysis of Muratori's representation of these systems, I situate him in the politically conservative Catholic Enlightenment and establish his commitment to the paternalistic social order prevailing in Europe in the eighteenth century. Second, I show that Muratori reveals broader ideas about religion and superstition as conceived by the Catholic Enlightenment movement in his account of the interaction between the Jesuit missionaries and the Paraguayans in the reductions. In conclusion, this study shows that Il Cristianesimo Felice is a source that historians of the Catholic Enlightenment movement should revisit, as it represents Ludivico Antonio Muratori's Pubblica Felicita in the flesh.
