摘要
本文主要研究葡属美洲方济会的文字文化和思想文化。具体来说,它分析了方济各会修士通过他们的著作,在塑造葡萄牙-美国世界中所扮演的角色,对这个世界的看法,以及对巴西在葡萄牙君主制中应该占据的位置的当代理解。它考察了所谓的六翼骑士团在巴西殖民背景下发展起来的帝国愿景,他们使用的书面策略,以及他们在构建他们对美洲世界的看法时所使用的传教士和殖民知识。为此,本文详细介绍了方济各会修士安东尼奥·多·罗萨里奥(Antonio do Rosario)和他的著作《Frutas do Brasil》(里斯本,1702年)。在这本书中,他运用自己对自然世界的了解,构建了一个复杂的、以植物为基础的寓言,其中带有明确的巴西政治内涵。
Ascetic tropics: Franciscans, missionary knowledge and visions of Empire in the Portuguese Atlantic at the turn of the eighteenth century
This essay focuses on the study of Franciscan written and intellectual culture in Portuguese America. Specifically, it analyzes the role the Franciscans played, through their writings, in the shaping of the Portuguese- American world, of the way that world was thought about, and of contemporary understandings of the place Brazil should occupy within the Portuguese monarchy. It examines the visions of the Empire which the so-called Seraphic Order developed in the Brazilian colonial context, the written strategies they used, and the missionary and colonial knowledge which they employed when constructing their perceptions of the American world. To that end, it looks in detail at the Franciscan friar Antonio do Rosario and his text Frutas do Brasil (Lisbon, 1702), in which he used his knowledge of the natural world to construct a complex plant-based allegory with clear political connotations about Brazil.
