Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho tem por objectivo analisar a imagem do Outro. A construção da imagem na alteridade na obra de Álvaro Velho Roteiro da primeira viagem de Vasco da Gama à Índia e na Carta a El Rei D. Manuel sobre o achamento do Brasil de Pêro Vaz de Caminha, dois autores e duas obras incontornáveis para o estudo dos primeiros olhares dos portugueses nos encontros com o Outro, no início do século XVI.
A pesquisa realizada sobre o tema teve por base a comparação entre as duas obras, no que à percepção do Outro se refere e à imagem que dele é veiculada. Procurámos destacar algumas diferenças de mentalidade e, de entre a extraordinária riqueza informativa dos dois textos, sublinhámos alguns aspectos que nos pareceram mais significativos como a indumentária, a nudez, as paisagens, a alimentação, os casamentos e a cultura.
A necessidade de divulgar os feitos realizados levou os autores portugueses a descrever o que de novo encontraram, o estranho e a maravilha, atraindo assim a atenção e a admiração de quem lia os seus textos. As informações reunidas e divulgadas por estes relatos permitem-nos compreender melhor o modo como o Outro foi visto e como a sua imagem foi construída, na confluência entre experiência, memória e cultura.
This study aims to analyse the image of the Other. The construction of the image on otherness is based between the work of Álvaro Velho The journal of the first voyage of Vasco da Gama and the letter to Manuel I of Portugal by Pêro Vaz de Caminha, two authors and two compelling works for study of the first looks of the Portuguese in encounters with the Other, in the early sixteenth century. The research on the topic was based on the comparison between the two works, in which the perception of the Other refers to the image that it is conveyed. We have tried to highlight some differences in mentality and, from the extraordinary wealth of the two informational texts, to emphasize some aspects that seemed to us most significant as clothing, nudity, landscapes, food, weddings and culture. The needs to publicize the deeds performed led the Portuguese authors to describe what they found again, the strange and wonder, thus attracting the attention and admiration of those who read their texts. The information gathered and disseminated by these reports allows us to better understand how the Other was seen and how his image was built at the confluence between experience, memory and culture.
