| Summary: | Jean de Brébeuf, a missionary in Huronia (Wendake) in 1635, provides an impersonal narration of his journey to New-France in Écrits en Huronie. In keeping with tropes of the Classical period as well as the religious institution, his descriptions of the body and its adventures (even if it has an important role for him) remain collective or unspecified. Emphasising the notion of shared futures, the travel writing device is thought of in a communitarian form and is expressed through the experience of looking outward at the other. |
