Abstract

SUAREZ, Marcela Alejandra. At iam satis est de rebus guaranicis: the ethnographic digressio in the Annus Patiens of Joseph Peramás. Folia [online]. 2017, n.28, pp.15-27. ISSN 0325-8238.

Some authors point out that some jesuit sources can be considered ethnographic. But the news related with the nature and the native populations not always appear as the theme of a single work. They are usually incorporated in tales of travel, letters or diaries. In the Annus Patiens siue Ephemerides, Peramás displaces in three occasions the narration about the trip towards the exile to describe the Pampa (ff. 28-30), the jesuit activities in the province of Paraguay (ff. 49-53), and the missions of Guaranies (ff. 53-92). In this paper, we will analyze the rhetoric strategies of the last digression and we will determine their function.

Keywords : Peramás; Annus Patiens; Digressio; Ethnography.
