Descrição

Thus, from the methodological tool developed by the comparatist Daniel-Henri Pageaux under the name of “imagology”, it will be analyzed, in a corpus of Brazilian, Peruvian and Ecuadorian literary texts, the degree of ethnocentrism present in the imagination of authors who most marked, in these countries, the culture of the 20th century, reflection of self-representation images in the Ibero-American space.
