Resumo: | The Indian literary production was in constant dialogue with history, by referencing past events and exalting nature and the Indian. Under this prism, José de Alencar (1829-1877) published O Guarani (1857), a novel that narrated the relationship between the Goitacá Indian Peri and the Portuguese family Mariz in the 17th century. As a historical novel, it was based on extensive documentary research, with emphasis on the scrutiny of Gabriel Soares de Sousa's Tratado Descritivo do Brasil em 1587. The objective of this study is to analyze how Alencar appropriated the colonial writers for the figuration of the Indian in O Guarani. By mobilizing the chronicles of Soares de Sousa and Simão de Vasconcellos, as well as the historical text of Balthazar da Silva Lisboa, Alencar brought his novel closer to the 19th century historical-ethnographic practice, using the colonial descriptions of the Tupinambá to parameterize the habits and customs of the Goitacá and Aimoré, a choice that had an impact on the description of Peri as a tall and perceptive indigenous man. This ethnographic gesture made it possible to integrate the indigenous populations of Brazil's colonial past and to inscribe a written culture based on the elaboration of a national rhetoric. |

Sob este prisma, José de Alencar (1829–1877) publicou O Guarani (1857), romance que narrou as relações entre o indígena Goitacá Peri e a família portuguesa Mariz no século XVII. Como romance histórico, esteve pautado em uma extensa pesquisa documental, com destaque para o escrutínio do Tratado Descritivo do Brasil em 1587, de Gabriel Soares de Sousa. O objetivo desse estudo é analisar o modo como Alencar se apropriou dos escritores coloniais para a figuração do indígena em O Guarani. Ao mobilizar as crônicas de Soares de Sousa e Simão de Vasconcellos, bem como o texto histórico de Balthazar da Silva Lisboa, Alencar aproximou seu romance da prática histórico-etnográfica oitocentista, utilizando as descrições coloniais dos Tupinambá para parametrizar os hábitos e costumes dos Goitacá e Aimoré, escolha que incidiu na descrição de Peri como um indígena perspicaz e de alta estatura. Esse gesto etnográfico permitiu integrar as populações indígenas do passado colonial brasileiro e inscrever uma cultura escrita pautada na elaboração de uma retórica nacional.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-12-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/organon/article/view/12533710.22456/2238-8915.125337Organon; v. 37 n. 74 (2022): Figuras negras nas literaturas das Américas2238-89150102-6267reponame:Organon (Porto Alegre.
