Abstract
A representação do outro é tão antiga como a história cultural da humanidade e a imagem que desse outro se veicula depende integralmente do eu que a descreve e constrói. Assim, tendo por base os pressupostos teóricos da imagologia, propomo-nos analisar a imagem do mouro transmitida na Crónica da Tomada de Ceuta, procurando rastrear o topos do enaltecimento dos portugueses, basilar da construção da identidade nacional.
The representation of the Other is as old as the cultural history of humanity and the image that is portrayed of that Other depends entirely on the I that describes and builds it. Thus, based on the theoretical assumptions of imagology, we aim at analysing the image of the moors as depicted on the Chronicle of the Conquest of Ceuta, seeking to track the topos of the Portuguese praise, cornerstone of the construction of national identity.
