    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010) Silva, Bianca Carolina Pereira da [UNIFESP]; Lima, Luís Filipe Silvério [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1254684857020143; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4171303017130490; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This study proposes an analysis of a seventeenth-century’s iconographic series about the death of St. Francis Xavier (1501-1552), Apostle to the Far East and epitome of a missionary for the Society of Jesus, where such images are considered as carriers of a Jesuit discourse about America. Establishes the relationship of the diffusion of the image of Xavier served a search for (re) legitimation of the Society of Jesus on these parts, at the time that the missionary in the Far East was in decline due to lack of support from Portugal, which was struggling out there. Therefore proposes that in the late seventeenth century, not only the Crown of Portugal, as the Society of Jesus looked to the American land.

    A presença do Novo Mundo na iconografia da morte e dos sonhos de São Francisco Xavier: a missão jesuítica e as partes e gentes do Império Português
    (Pós-Graduação em História, Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais., 2014-08-01) Lima, Luis Filipe Silverio [UNIFESP]; Silva, Bianca Carolina Pereira da; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    This article analyzes pictorial interpretations of saint Francis Xavier's death and dreams visions, from early seventeenth century until mideighteenth century. If the Jesuit, even before his canonization in 1622, was seen as an Apostle of the East, a change occurred from the second half of the seventeenth century on. To the Asian iconographic indexes were added Africans and Native Americans ones in the depiction of his dreams and death. Through the observation of this imagetic shift the aim is to understand the making of a visual program for Xavier's hagiography, in which a prior and more exclusive relation with the East is surpassed by the efforts of fulfilling a role as the mission ultimate example, also - and specially - for the Americas. It particularly interests how these iconic displacements occurred in the case of the Portuguese Empire and Brazil.
