Los caníbales de Antropófagos (Brasil) en la cartografía de los descubrimientos y los mitos geográficosde la imagen cartográfica al imaginario del Brasil colonial.

Resum

The study of the image is presented capable of providing important information on the construction of the imaginary social ones, the social arrangement of the past, the conformation of national identities and, definitively, of the ways of thinking and "to be thought" the society of a given period. According to these approaches, we focus on the American colony of Portugal: Brazil. To this end, we take as an instrument of analysis the historical cartography most near its discovery and colonization; icons that, removed from the concept of illustration, are testimonies of the creation of new realities and imaginary for Europe.
