The illustrated magazine Eu Sei Tudo was published in Brazil between 1917 and 1958. Its origin, however, is French and a significant part of its content also belonged to that version. In this article, taking as historical sources figures and texts present in the Brazilian journal and adopting as theoretical reference the concepts of social representation and imaginary, we investigate the production and circulation of images related to Africa and the Africans between worlds, inquiring about their meanings. Our hypothesis is that Eu Sei Tudo promoted the diffusion of racial stereotypes and prejudices from a European matrix linked to the context of imperialism, reproduced in several of its pages, despite radically different social scenarios. These images and texts, exposed from a discourse on alterity, repeated in Brazil the supposed antagonisms between modernity and backwardness, primitivism and progress, civilization and barbarism.

Palabras clave : Printing; Social representation; Social imagery; International circulation; Africa.
