SUMMARY:

This thesis will analyze foreign travel guides and diaries about Brazil published between the 1880s and 1930s. The objective is to investigate the dominant representations of Brazilian cities in these reports. This is possible because the production of travel literature at the end of the 19th century changed its approach: in addition to discussing commercial and diplomatic aspects and descriptions of the country's natural landscape, the city and its built elements became the target of their descriptions. Observations about the most significant aspects of the urban landscape - taken over a period of months or hours - allow an understanding of the transformations that Brazilian cities undergo in the period: modernization works begin, the razing of urban structures and the introduction of technical networks. Rather than dismissing them as clichés and reading them as a one-dimensional production, this thesis seeks to emphasize their status as transcultural texts. The guides therefore map a dichotomy between the architecture and uses of the ancient city that remain and the construction of a new landscape in modernization.
