Luso-Brazilian Encounters of the Sixteenth Century
Angebote / Angebote:
The 16th-century corpus of the Portuguese colonizers of Brazil is well-known for the presence of strange elements, such as references to monsters and demons, bizarre descriptions, and odd systems of classifications of plants and animals. Instead of dismissing such elements as mere early-modern eccentricities, Luso-Brazilian Encounters of the Sixteenth Century aims to unveil epistemological and mainly ontological issues that might give intelligibility to them, and connect the work of the Portuguese with pre-modern and also post-modern styles of thinking in literary and mystical traditions.
