Abstract

Abstract:Drawing on British and other landscape painting, as well as the travel writings of such people as Mary Graham, governess to the Emperor D. Pedro's daughter, this article examines representations of Brazil by Europeans in the early nineteenth century. It finds that the images created were not a neutral reflection of the exotic, but a complex reception based upon a wide variety of prior influences, amongst them the tradition of the grand tour, the Arcadian ideal, the concept of the picturesque, and scientific theories of Nature, such as Humboldt's. Nevertheless, the encounter with Brazil involved a true exchange of ideas, not only bringing European tastes such as the country garden to Brazil, but also taking back to Europe new images of the tropics, making this, as the author calls it, a 'two-way street'. Baseando-se no paisagismo britânico e europeu, assim como nos livros de viagens de personagens tais como Mary Graham, preceptora da filha de D. Pedro, este artigo examina representações do Brasil feitas durante a primeira metade do século XIX. Conclui que as imagens formuladas não representavam uma reflexão neutra do exótico, mas antes uma recepção complexa, fundada sobre uma grande variedade de influências prévias, entre elas o grand tour, o ideal arcadiano, o conceito do pitoresco, e as teorias científicas da Natureza, tais como as de Humboldt. Mesmo assim, o encontro com o Brasil implicava uma troca de ideias, que trazia os gostos europeus, tal como o jardim rústico, ao Brasil, mas que levava também para a Europa novas imagens dos trópicos. Tornou-se assim, como aponta a autora, uma 'rua em dois sentidos'.
旅行者与巴西景观
摘要:本文借鉴英国和其他国家的风景画,以及皇帝D.Pedro女儿的政府Mary Graham等人的游记,考察了19世纪初欧洲人对巴西的描绘。研究发现,所创造的图像并不是对异国情调的中立反映,而是基于各种先前影响的复杂接受,其中包括盛大旅行的传统、阿卡迪亚的理想、风景如画的概念以及自然的科学理论,如洪堡的。尽管如此,与巴西的会面涉及到真正的思想交流,不仅将乡村花园等欧洲人的品味带到了巴西,还将热带的新形象带回了欧洲,使之成为作者所说的“双向道路”。本文以英国和欧洲的景观以及D.Pedro女儿的导师Mary Graham等人物的游记为基础,考察了19世纪上半叶对巴西的描绘。它得出的结论是,这些公式化的图像并不是对异国情调的中立反映,而是一种复杂的接受,建立在之前各种各样的影响之上,其中包括盛大的旅行、阿卡迪亚的理想、风景如画的概念和自然的科学理论,如洪堡的。即便如此,与巴西的会面意味着思想的交流,这给巴西带来了欧洲人的品味,比如乡村花园,但也给欧洲带来了热带的新形象。因此,正如作者所指出的那样,它成为了一条“双向道路”。
