  • Mediating Brazilian Indigeneity: Villa-Lobos Impersonates Hans Staden

    Luciana Villas BôasARTICLECalíope2026

    In 1927, critic Lucie Delarue-Mardrus argued that Heitor Villa-Lobos’s music was imbued with an irresistible quality that made the audience experience, and perhaps assimilate, Brazilian indigeneity. While claiming that the authentic novelty of Villa-Lobos’s music stemmed from his recent captivity among “true” Brazilian “savages,” Delarue-Mardrus was actually reworking the colonial record of a German go-between, Hans Staden, originally published i…

  • Uma questão de despertar vozes contrárias: Ficção, história e autoria em Foe de J. M. Coetzee

    Open AccessLuciana Villas BôasARTICLEAletria Revista de Estudos de…2021

    Este ensaio argumenta que a imaginação histórica do romance Foe (1987), de J. M. Coetzee, extrapola a noção de metaficção histórica. Mostra que o entrelaçamento entre o literário e o histórico reside na ficção de um futuro do passado, anterior à publicação das obras de Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoé (1719) e Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724). É a ficção de um futuro do passado aberto, ainda indeterminado, que possibilita ao romance contrapor-s…

  • Utopia, ensaio e tempestade: O novo mundo em Morus, Shakespeare e Montaigne

    Open AccessLuciana Villas BôasARTICLEAlea Estudos Neolatinos2020Cited by: 1References: 2

    Este artigo faz uma exploração de utopias letradas transmitidas ao longo de século XVI e início do XVII, enfocando um elemento específico das elucubrações humanistas: a ficção de encontros utópicos entre os mundos antigo e novo na Utopia de Thomas Morus, na Tempestade de Shakespeare e os Ensaios de Michel de Montaigne. Esses 'encontros' são, de fato, uma instância privilegiada de um imaginário político cuja articulação entrelaça a realização de u…

  • Os selvagens de Nuremberg e o seu lamento pela imprensa de 1545

    Open AccessLuciana Villas BôasARTICLELetras2014

    This article discusses the representation of a family of savages in a pamphlet titled “Lament of the Wild Forest Folk over the Perfidious World” (Nuremberg, 1545). Based upon iconographical and textual sources, from which Hans Schäufelein’s woodcut and Hans Sachs’s poem derive, the article explores specific meanings of savagery before its modern opposition to the notion of civilization. It dwells upon the specular function of the savages, i.e., t…

  • A língua de Hércules: Força e eloquência no Brasil do século XVI

    Open AccessLuciana Villas BôasARTICLECadernos de Tradução2014

    Drawing on the ancient tradition of the body-metaphor for representing the kingdom and its ruling state, the Portuguese word língua (tongue) emerges in the sixteenth century to designate colonial translators overseas. While many studies were dedicated to the interplay between anatomical and political imagery of the period, few have tackled its imprint on particular lexica and discursive contexts. Based upon a variety of sources related to colonia…

  • The Anatomy of Cannibalism: Religious Vocabulary and Ethnographic Writing in the Sixteenth Century

    Luciana Villas BôasARTICLEStudies in Travel Writing2008

    In the middle of the sixteenth century the prevailing representation of New World cannibalism as a marker of a radical alterity was rendered problematic by elaborate ethnographic descriptions of its symbolic function and ritual performance. This essay analyses the first ethnographies of Tupinamba cannibalism in Jean de Léry's Histoire d'un voyage faict en la terre du Brésil (Geneva, 1578), André Thevet's Singularités de la France Antarctique (Par…
