Abstract

This article proposes treat of imaginary situations, their narrative representations and imagerys transplanted in the colonization of Brazilian Ama­zonia during XVII century. Used by religious, French and Portuguese, in their chronicles and sermons in order to translate to the Old World, sights and costumes and appearance of American natives.In particular, we present reports of Ca­puchin priests about Maranhão, by the heavenly imaginary construction of a territory, but had a wild population that needed a messiah to lead to the truth and God. We’ll use the work of Claude d’Abbeville and Yves d’Évreux in the exegesis, because they were religious that produced subs­tancial chronicles about the presence of settlers in eastern Amazon on the period. To text analysis we’ll use a referential of narratology, discourse analysis and historical studies.
