The lusophone sermonistic grew up during the period of great navigations, when missionary implementation was justified both from the emergence of a common horizon and the reinforcement of a cultural cohesion, promoted by the Christianization of the Western world. Theferore, travel chronicles and missionary parenetics have been united within a generation of a lusophonic literature. In the churches, those who did not have any contact with books, had their travel tickets from the sermons. So is the case with some prayers from Portugal and Brazil, especially in the period when the Lusitan court was transfered to Rio de Janeiro encouraged a more effective rapprochement between these two parts of the empire. That’s what happened with Fr. Francisco de São Carlos, a royal preacher devoted to d. João VI, when he construct a special kind of Lisbon at Rio de Janeiro, making the line needed to maintain the Old Regime in Brazil. On the amplification of the boundaries of knowledge, born in Lusophone exchange, this text deals with this imaginary journey to which sermonists and preachers carry the population of these two sides of the Fifth Empire. |
