Abstract in Portuguese
Essa dissertação analisa alguns aspectos da narrativa de viagem Life in Brazil: or, a journal of a visit to the land of the cocoa and the palm, escrita pelo inglês radicado no Estados Unidos Thomas Ewbank (1792-1870), com base em sua viagem ao Rio de Janeiro em 1846. Impresso nos Estados Unidos e na Inglaterra em 1856, e no Brasil, somente em 1973, o livro e os textos publicados em revistas importantes do período alcançaram um público amplo. O relato mostra-se impregnado das concepções de mundo relacionadas ao campo da Etnologia, no qual se discutis a "origem do home" e o "lugar de determinadas raças em seus respectivos ambientes geográficos". Nesta pesquisa, demonstro e discuto a influência dessas concepções na escrita do relato, implicando em construções de imagens e representações de um Brasil que estaria condenado a um desenvolvimento lento e sempre inferior em relação ao da Euorpa e dos Estados Unidos

Abstract in English
This research examines some aspects of the travel narrative: Life in Brazil: or, a journal of a visit to the land of the cocoa and the palm, written by the Englishman settled in United States Thomas Ewbank (1792-1870), since a journey to Rio de Janeiro in 1846. Printed in the United States and England in 1856 and in Brazil only in 1973, the book and the texts published in leading magazines of the period, reached a widw audience. The report shows up steeped in the world concepts related to the field of Ethnology, which discussed the "Origin of Man" and "place of certain breeds in their respective geografic environments". In this research, demonstrate and discuss the influence of theses concepts in writing the report, resulting in construction of images and representations of a Brazil that would be condemned to a slow development and always lower compared to Europe and the United States.
