The first Europeans who wrote about the Indigenous people of the newly discovered Americas, not only used medieval, but also classical literature as a tool of reference to describe 'otherness.' As true humanists, the French Jesuits who arrived in the New World were deeply influenced by their classical education and, as claimed by Grafton, reverted to ancient ethnographic texts, like Tacitus' Germania, to support their analyse of the Indigenous people they encountered. Books talk to books. Inspired by Germania, the early French Jesuits managed to convey to their readers a subtle critique of their own civilization, enhancing, like Tacitus, the virtuous aspect of the so-called barbarians they described while illustrating the corruption of their respective civilized worlds. This thesis suggests that the essence of Tacitus' work is definitively present in Pierre Biard's letters and his Relation. His testimonies illustrate the connection the early French Jesuits had with the humanist thought of their time.

Esta dissertação consiste num estudo acerca das questões da história e da democracia a partir do pensamento de Claude Lefort e de Cornelius Castoriadis. Vinculado ao exame da questão da história, o estudo da questão da democracia, nos faz “pensar o político” numa perspectiva distinta daquela referente aos campos da ciência e da sociologias políticas. Campos nos quais o político é tratado como algo que pode ser apreendido a partir de um saber prévio e exaustivo sobre os processos políticos e sociais. Refletir sobre a questão da história e da democracia significa, nesse sentido, conceber a distinção entre o político e a política enquanto algo que nos remete à uma “maneira singular” de relacionamento entre os homens e o “poder explícito” na sociedade. Maneira essa que pressupõe, por sua vez, a existência de uma sociedade na qual a política é reconhecida como uma atividade que pode educar cidadãos enquanto indivíduos efetivamente “livres e responsáveis”.
