RESUMO

Three depictions have epitomized Brazil - then a portuguese colony - as a state of permanent disorderliness. These pictures permeated the 15th and 17th centuries´ texts, notedly the Jesuit´s reports, The State of the Affairs in Brazil, and are related to the intertwining of different cultures and the settings of the colonial enterprise. They are: the living habits of the natives, miscegenation and the Sertão (Backlands). They represent facing an unfamiliar culture, the social relations between different people and a vast unconquered space. Those were the elements that created the idea of the Portuguese America as a state of general disorderlines
