<p><strong>RESUMO:</strong></p><p>O processo de conversão foi pautada na conquista, por almas, terras e poder. A ação catequética jesuítica nas terras dos povos Kiriri resultou na produção de textos a respeito da língua e dos costumes dos povos que viviam às margens norte do Rio Real. Com isso, foram produzidos o Catecismo e a Gramática da Língua Kiriri, pelo inaciano Luiz Mamiani. Trata-se de escritos importantes para a compreensão da cultura histórica jesuíta no período colonial e de suas ações na constituição de uma nova cristandade. Partindo da relevância de tais registros este trabalho tem o propósito de apontar alguns sinais da catequese e do método utilizado por Mamiani. Busca-se discutir os saberes envolvidos na construção da cultura histórica jesuítica no sertão Na escrita dos jesuítas a Europa cristã defronta-se com a América portuguesa indígena. Dois mundos aparentemente distantes se entrecruzam nas prédicas dos inacianos. A conquista da América lusitana não se fez somente com armas de fogo, mas também por meio das palavras.</p><p> </p><p><strong>PALAVRAS-CHAVE:</strong> catequese, jesuítas, catecismo Mamiani.</p><p> </p><p><span id="result_box" lang="en"><strong><span class="hps">ABSTRACT:</span></strong><br /><br /> <span class="hps">The</span> <span class="hps">conversion process</span> <span class="hps">was based</span> <span class="hps">on</span> <span class="hps">conquest</span><span>, for</span> <span class="hps">souls</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">land</span> <span class="hps">and power.</span> <span class="hps">Catechetical</span> <span class="hps">Jesuit</span> <span class="hps">action</span> <span class="hps">in the lands of</span> <span class="hps">Kiriri</span> <span class="hps">people</span> <span class="hps">resulted in the production</span> <span class="hps">of</span> <span class="hps">texts regarding the</span> <span class="hps">language</span> <span class="hps">and customs of the</span> <span class="hps">people who</span> <span class="hps">lived on the</span> <span class="hps">northern</span> <span class="hps">banks of the</span> <span class="hps">Rio Real</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">Thus, the</span> <span class="hps">Catechism</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">the</span> <span class="hps">Grammar of the</span> <span class="hps">Language</span> <span class="hps">Kiriri</span> <span class="hps">were produced by</span> <span class="hps">Ignatian</span> <span class="hps">Luiz</span> <span class="hps">Mamiani</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">It is</span> <span class="hps">important writings</span> <span class="hps">for understanding the</span> <span class="hps">Jesuit</span> <span class="hps">historical culture</span> <span class="hps">in the colonial period</span> <span class="hps">and its shares</span> <span class="hps">in the</span> <span class="hps">formation of a new</span> <span class="hps">Christendom.</span> <span class="hps">Based on the</span> <span class="hps">relevance of such</span> <span class="hps">records</span> <span class="hps">this work</span> <span class="hps">is meant to</span> <span class="hps">point out some</span> <span class="hps">signs</span> <span class="hps">of catechesis</span> <span class="hps">and the method used</span> <span class="hps">by</span> <span class="hps">Mamiani</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">The article discusses</span> <span class="hps">the</span> <span class="hps">knowledge involved</span> <span class="hps">in the construction</span> <span class="hps">of the Jesuit</span> <span class="hps">historical culture</span> <span class="hps">in the backcountry</span> <span class="hps">In writing</span> <span class="hps">the Jesuits</span> <span class="hps">Christian Europe</span> <span class="hps">is faced with</span> <span class="hps">the indigenous</span> <span class="hps">Portuguese America.</span> <span class="hps">Two seemingly</span> <span class="hps">distant worlds</span> <span class="hps">intersect</span> <span class="hps">in the</span> <span class="hps">preaching</span> <span class="hps">of</span> <span class="hps">Ignatian</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">The conquest</span> <span class="hps">of Portuguese</span> <span class="hps">America</span> <span class="hps">was not built</span> <span class="hps">only with</span> <span class="hps">firearms,</span> <span class="hps">but also</span> <span class="hps">through the words</span><span>.</span><br /><br /> <strong><span class="hps">KEYWORDS</span>:</strong> <span class="hps">catechesis</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">Jesuits,</span> <span class="hps">Mamiani</span> <span class="hps">catechism.</span></span></p><p><span lang="en"><span class="hps">Recebido: 22/06/2012            Aceito: 26/10/2012<br /></span></span></p>
