CARGNEL, Josefina. WRITINGS IN THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, “LIBRO DE CONSULTAS DE PROVINCIA” AND “HISTORIAS DE PROVINCIA”. Folia [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.117-138. ISSN 0325-8238. http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0394602.
Writing played an important role in the Society of Jesus, and recording became a need for the government. A strict circle of correspondence and reports to keep the union of the Order was developed. At the same time, the government promoted writing through books to show the jesuits’ activities in the known world. In this paper, we comparatively analyze the Libro de consultas de provincia and the Historias de Provincia written by Pedro Lozano in the 18th century. We focus our analysis on the writing and the discursive form of each text to observe the Libro de consultas de provincia as a more daily look of the events of the province than the one from the official histories. We approach Jesuitic writings as the expressions of someone´s product (a historian, a secretary, a consultant) conditioned by its place and context beyond the message transmitted.
