FARIA, Marcos Roberto de. A organização de um corpo disperso uma análise da atividade jesuítica em terras brasílicas (1583). Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.57, pp.417-440. ISSN 1413-2478.
This article investigates the pedagogy of surveillance established by the Society of Jesus in the second half of the sixteenth century. In order to organize the dispersed body, the Society's headquarters in Rome ordered a visit to the province of Brazil to strengthen surveillance and to establish order. To verify this thesis, we used rarely examined documentation, researched at the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu (ARSI), in Rome, especially the correspondence between the visitor and the Society's General. This article suggests that the reinforcement of orthodoxy established by the Society of Jesus is noticeable in several manners, for example, in the strict regulatory standards that were used to systematize daily life in the colleges and houses that the jesuits maintained in Brazil.
