Abstract(s)
Neste artigo, buscamos mostrar o modo como a literatura pombalina, ao mobilizar o discurso
do complô para demonizar a Companhia de Jesus e assim atingir seus fins políticos e ideológicos, acabou
por consolidar o mito dos jesuítas, uma vez que, com a política regalista assumida pelo ministro de D.
José I (1714-1777), Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (1699-1782), que passou à história com o título de
Marquês de Pombal, o antijesuitismo vai ser assumido como programa de Estado, estabelecendo o padrão
e os elementos lexicais e retóricos necessários para a produção literária antijesuítica que lhe foi posterior.
Para atingir tal objetivo, faremos uso da historiografia, bem como de alguns pressupostos teóricos relativos
à história cultural, aos mitos e representações (DURAND, 1983; GIRARDET, 1990; LEROY, 1999; ELIADE,
2000; CHARTIER, 2002; FRANCO, 2006; BARTHES, 2007). Como fonte, será usado um conjunto
de textos idealizados, produzidos ou patrocinados por Pombal, a que denominamos literatura pombalina:
preâmbulos de peças legislativas, prefácios ou dedicatórias de obras literárias e pedagógicas, panfletos e
narrativas biográficas ou historiográficas, documentação burocrática e epistolar.
In this article, we seek to show how Pombaline literature, by mobilizing the discourse of the plot to demonize the Society of Jesus and thus achieve its political and ideological ends, ended up consolidating the myth of the Jesuits, since, with the assumed regalist policy by the minister of D. José I (1714-1777), Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (1699-1782), who went down in history with the title of Marquis of Pombal, anti-jesuitism began to be assumed as a State program, establishing the pattern and the lexical and rhetorical elements necessary for the anti-jesuit literary production that followed. To achieve this objective, we will make use of historiography, as well as of some theoretical assumptions relating to cultural history, myths and representations (DURAND, 1983; GIRARDET, 1990; LEROY, 1999; ELIADE, 2000; CHARTIER, 2002; FRANCO, 2006; BARTHES, 2007). As historical sources, a set of texts designed, produced or sponsored by Pombal which we call Pombaline literature will be used: preambles of legislative pieces, prefaces or dedications of literary and pedagogical works, pamphlets and biographical or historiographical narratives, bureaucratic and epistolary documentation.
