Brigitte Thiérion, « Olhares sobre a Terra e o Homem da Amazônia : um imaginário em construção », HAL-SHS : littérature, ID : 10670/1.y4yxcj
This paper sketches a path in the construction of the imagery about the Amazon since its discovery. It revolves around two topics: the earth and man, and outlines a timeline that ranges from the construction of a euphoric perception, accompanying the discovery of unknown space, to a dysphoric view related to the approach and study of man, both native and immigrant, considered from a colonization perspective. It aims to highlight the genesis of myths and of perennial representations in contemporary literature.
