As consequências da presença jesuítica para a cultura guarani

Abstract

This study aimed to show the consequences of the Jesuit presence for the Guaraní culture, that is, the changes that occurred in all aspects of it, based on this, documentary and bibliographic research was used as a methodology. Thus, it was understood that the mixture of values, feelings and customs that were over the years confused with their own and those brought by the Europeans, thus occurring an acculturation, is certainly the most significant consequence in the history of the Guaraní. From the information obtained, there was a reflection on the acculturation process, highlighting the European action that aimed to totally change the indigenous culture with the abandonment, including, of the native language and customs, adopting a new way of life based on European Christianity.
