Abstract: The article seeks to analyze the diocesan visitations and how operated the ecclesiastical devassas and pastoral until the late eighteenth century in Portuguese America. It proposes to demonstrate how that documentation was part of the process of moralization and Westernization that formed the bureaucracy of American societies. From the critical historiography of this documental typology, the analysis brings into focus both the question of social groups’ otherness, as the importance of these records for the study of family and mestizaje in the formation of diverse population.

Abstract: Ivatuba is a city in the state of Paraná, located in the southern region of Brazil. Its reoccupation process took place around the 1940s through Companhia de Terras Norte do Paraná and later Companhia de Melhoramentos Norte do Paraná, companies derived from the former Parana Plantations, a British capital company that was granted the right to installment and sale of land over an extensive region that goes from Jataizinho to Umuarama. Ivatuba became a municipality in 1961, later, as a way to commemorate its 25-year history was published the magazine "Ivatuba Progress Constant." In this article, an analysis of this publication is presented, seeking to understand the construction of some discourses about the collective memory of Ivatuba, from the point of view of the "pioneer", considered a fundamental and percussive agent of the occupation and expansion of the city.
