Abstract

Far from the adamite ideal of the good savage, travel narratives (14th-15th centuries) provide a summary of the xenophobic propensity to construct a demonized image of the foreigner. From their study, we will highlight the constants of an abundant imagination, through wich ethnocentrism shapes the image of an enemy providing the necessary counterpoint to Western identity. Finally, this figure of the maleficient foreigner provides a space for reflection on social norms from the narrative of the reversal of values and transgressive behaviors.
