| Abstract | |
This research aims to analyze the New World inhabitants¿ discourses at the Ulrico Schmidl¿s chronicle. After approximately seventeen years at South America (1536 ¿ 1553), the Bavarian soldier has returned to Europe, where he has converted himself to the protestant faith and has written his Viaje al Río de la Plata. Based on his account we intend to observe how elements like cannibalism, also described by others authors (like Jean de Léry and Hans Staden), have influenced the travelers narratives, especially about humanity of Indigenous and doubts about the possibilities of his enslaver and conversion. We still intend to study how these descriptions were utilized in mutual attacks between Catholics and Protestants (AU) | |
