Abstract

The Jesuit writing “of exile” presents us varied information about the nations of the Chaco, which the same Jesuit authors had lived with. Beyond the extensive, rich and detailed corpus, these writings developed a qualitative change of orientation, became more scientific around the spirit of the time, linked to the need to produce distant, analytical knowledge, based on data collection and empirical observation.

In this article we are interested in reviewing some of these productions elaborated after the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from the American domains and its exile in Europe. We will specifically consider the texts of Martín Dobrizhoffer, Florián Paucke, Francisco Burgés and Manuel Canelas, Jesuit missionaries who abounded in descriptions of the Chaco ethnic groups, their customs, their ways of life, as well as their geographical space as part of their everyday life.
