Resumo: This article analyses the images of Brazilian and Portuguese women in the reports of English travelers who visited Portugal and Brazil in the final years of the 18th century and early decades of the 19th century. We seek to investigate the way in which a moral register based on bourgeois values influenced these travelers’ views and interfered in their descriptions of the Luso- Brazilian universe. The connection they made between the ‘civilized’ European world and the regions which were peripheral to the processes of bourgeois capitalism generally involved a double movement of confrontation and negotiation between culturally distinct values and worldviews. Thus, their travel narratives reveal a space of constant negotiation of feelings and perceptions about themselves and the natives.

Procura-se explorar como um registro moral, que acentuava crescentemente padrões de comportamento burgueses e que orientou o olhar de viajantes sobre o mundo, interferiu nos comentários e imagens que projetaram do universo lusobrasileiro. A conexão entre o mundo europeu ‘civilizado’ e as regiões marginais ao processo de constituição de uma ordem burguesa capitalista realizada pelos viajantes envolveu, em geral, um duplo processo de enfrentamento e negociação entre valores e concepções de mundo de universos culturais distintos. Assim, os relatos dos viajantes mostram esse espaço de constante remanejamento de sentimentos e de percepções sobre si próprios e os nativos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200500030000910.1590/S0104-026X2005000300009Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 13 No. 3 (2005); 613Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 13 Núm. 3 (2005); 613Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 13 n. 3 (2005); 6131806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2005000300009/7717Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Margareth de Almeida2022-11-21T14:21:50Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/8380Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:25.932660Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
