    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010) Silva, Bianca Carolina Pereira da [UNIFESP]; Lima, Luís Filipe Silvério [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1254684857020143; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4171303017130490; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This study proposes an analysis of a seventeenth-century’s iconographic series about the death of St. Francis Xavier (1501-1552), Apostle to the Far East and epitome of a missionary for the Society of Jesus, where such images are considered as carriers of a Jesuit discourse about America. Establishes the relationship of the diffusion of the image of Xavier served a search for (re) legitimation of the Society of Jesus on these parts, at the time that the missionary in the Far East was in decline due to lack of support from Portugal, which was struggling out there. Therefore proposes that in the late seventeenth century, not only the Crown of Portugal, as the Society of Jesus looked to the American land.
