Examining Ida Pfeiffer's story from a cross-cultural perspective
Keywords:
Ida Pfeiffer, Travel accounts, Discourse constructions of BrazilAbstract
In the last few decades historians have been acknowledging the importance of specific contexts in the practical discourses through which historical meanings are textually built up. However, the studies on historiography frequently refrain from a more accurate ideological examination of the relationships that a historical discourse keeps among who has produced it, who read it during its time and who has been reading it today. This article aims at reflecting upon this issue based on accounts made by Ida Pfeiffer, a prominent Austrian traveler who narrates her stay in Rio de Janeiro in 1847. In this paper some stereotypes will be highlighted which are still surprisingly current nowadays.
