| dc.description.abstract | This research aims at describing the jewish’s and the marranos’
socio-cultural representations in “Semão de São Roque”, preached by
Father Antônio Vieira in 1644. Firstly, we dealt with the relations between
history and literature, emphasizing the contributions of New Cultural
History to our work, since we have a literary document as our studey
object. Secondly, we characterized the literary style “baroque” and the
sermonistic text, looking for contextualizing the corpus of this work.
Afterthat, we drew up the jewish’s and the marranos’ historic situation in
Europe and Portuguese America and, especially, the marranos’ antithetic
condition. We continued presenting a short biography of Father Antônio
Vieira, pointing out his relationship with the jewish’s and the marranos and
his conflict writer the inquisition. Finally, we studied “Saint Roque’s
Sermon”, aiming at finding in his text, rich in analogies, the jewish’s and
the marranos’ socio-cultural representations to jesuitic epoch. Our main
concern is to point out a determining factor to these representations. Such
factor is “Judas” money , condition without which the jewish’s and the
marranos don’t guarantee social inclusion in the baroque world. | |
