RESUMO

Going deep into the discussion concerning the Jesuit practical in the Province of Brazil in the end of 16th century and beginning of the 17th is the main concern of this thesis. In this way, initially, the beddings of the named Counter-Reformation and the vigilance devices that it put in scene were rescued, in order to offer to the reader the historical conditionings that run through the activity of the ignatians in the period. After that, it is resorted the named theological-political beddings of the Jesuit proceeding way. In such a way, it is pointed the conversion trajectory of the founder of the Order, Ignacio de Loyola, the foundation bull of the Society of Jesus, the text of the Spiritual Exercises and the historical fundamentation of the practices of Jesuit correspondence production. Thus, this research points out the production of such documents at their times. However, the axis of the thesis is presented from Chapter III, when the jesuit activity at the Colony is discussed through a little explored documentation, researched at the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu in Rome, allowing to the reader knowing the practical of the ignatians in the Province of Brazil. Such practice, in my opinion, was permeated by conflicts and negotiations that were established among the priests, the natives, the colonists and the direction of the Order in Rome. Therefore, speaking about the place of the Jesuit in the colonial society, it becomes necessary to discuss such conflicts and negotiations. Thus, the research detaches the place so contested by Rome and the colonial society of the Jesuit as administrator of the villages. In my opinion, the origin of the conflicts is in the involvement of the priests in secular questions, principally in the treatment with the natives in the villages. The intention here, however, was to instigate the reader to a new perspective related to the performance of the Jesuits in the Colony, basically because the source researched in this thesis is, to a great extent, unknown and of difficult access for the Brazilian researchers. Without presenting finished conclusions, the current research wanted to establish a few more questions about who was and what motivated the men of black who lived at the land of the parrots in the beginning of our settling
