Abstract

This article proposes the analysis of the representations of the Guarani Indian women, considering the chronicles by missionaries who, informed by their cultural and social condition and by the colonization and converting projects, defined particular stereotypes and valorized an evolutionary standard of conduct of the Indian women. From devil’s servants and inciters of lasciviousness and lust, women passed to be represented as those who divulged, in the Jesuit-Guarani reductions, the Christian life values through their exemplary conducts.
