ABSTRACT
It deals with the missionary chronicle and the return of the Jesuits to Brazil in the nineteenth century, when the Ignatians resumed their historical narrative. He has support in Vitorino Nemésio (1971), Jorge Couto (1995), Luce Giard (2012) and Michael de Certeau (2012) in the analysis of discourses and sources. He emphasizes that, between 1841 and 1873, there is the purpose of resumption of missions with the indigenous people and the creation of several schools, a period in which the suspicion still posed by Pombal’s ideas still prevails against the Company of Jesus.
