Armida disvelata. L’immagine del velo nella "Gerusalemme liberata"

The essay takes into account the different occurrences of the term ‘veil’ in the Gerusalemme liberata. After an analysis of the metaphorical meanings of the term, the focus moves towards the veils that hide or embellish some of the female characters, in particular Sofronia, Erminia and Armida, bringing to light the different functions – even symbolic – that appear to be connected to this garment.The essay takes into account the different occurrences of the term ‘veil’ in the Gerusalemme liberata.

Narrativas e imagens dos viajantes alemães no Brasil do século XIX: a construção do imaginário sobre os povos indígenas, a história e a nação The narratives and images of German travelers to nineteenth-century Brazil: the construction of an imagination about indigenous peoples, history, and the nation

Analisa relatos e produção iconográfica dos viajantes Wied-Neuwied (1815-1817), Karl Friedich von Martius (1817-1820) e Johann Moritz Rugendas (1822-1825) com base na construção do imaginário sobre os povos indígenas, a história e a nação. Procura demonstrar as relações entre as ideias/imagens que eles produziram e o debate sobre a natureza do Novo Mundo. Aborda sobretudo a visão de seus empreendimentos como o processo de construção de uma história do Brasil e de sua população, revelando os sentidos e possibilidades existentes para o processo civilizador em curso e o papel que eles desempenharam nesse contexto.<br>This analysis of the accounts and iconographic production of German travelers Wied-Neuwied (1815-1817), Karl Friedich von Martius (1817-1820), and Johann Moritz Rugendas (1822-1825) explores the construction of an imagination about indigenous peoples, history, and nation. It shows the relationship between the ideas and images produced by these voyagers and the debate on nature in the New World. Most importantly, it examines their endeavors as a process of constructing a history of Brazil and its people, uncovering the meanings and possibilities relevant to the civilizing process underway and their role in this context
