| description | If Jean de Léry was never called a citizen of the world or “cosmopolitan”, some aspects of his relationship to Brazilian alterity seem to correspond quite well to the definition which that term received throughout the centuries. This paper uses the concept of cosmopolitanism as a tool in order to question the degree of Lery’s involvement in the tupi culture, in different areas and at different stages of his story. Léry’s complex posture towards the “Indians”, which moves back and forth between acceptance and rejection, has an emotional and sentimental dimension that goes beyond mere cosmopolitan accommodation. |
