Resumo
This work describes the production of knowledge about Indigenous peoples in Brazil from the perspective of naturalist travelers. This dissertation explores the experience of Botocudo Kuêk, or Joachim Quack (1804-1834), and the work of the naturalist traveler Maximiliano zu Wied Neuwied (1782-1867). The object of analysis that supports the dissertation is the travelers' imaginative work on Indigenous societies, more specifically, colonial societies, understood as a perspective that oscillates between domination and protection, with the kidnapping of Indigenous children as the turning point. The return to "ethnobiography" (REVEL, 1998:22) is inserted into discussions on power struggles and interdependence, with the connecting thread between the colonial context and the production of tutelary politics, which guides the analysis of the Indigenous place in the production of knowledge, the construction of otherness, and the activation of agencies. Through a bibliographical review, I seek to describe how otherness appears in the works of naturalist travelers and helps us find the constitution of knowledge about the founding of the nation.
