Los Jesuitas en Entre Ríos, costa del Río del Paraná, entre 1520 y 1730 - The Jesuits in Entre Ríos, on the coast of the Paraná River, between 1520 and 1730

Abstract

The research advances that have been published on these topics in the two previous editions of this Academic Journal have modified the historical perspective on the presence of Jesuits at the beginning of Paraná. For this reason, a rethinking of the initial project outlined in the first article is proposed. Furthermore, the new developments that emerged as the topic progressed are summarized later in this text. Expecting that by sharing these lines with readers, some exchanges with other potential interested parties may be possible. At the end, an email address is provided as a means of contact, hoping to receive contributions and communications from those who might disagree with these advances and from those who are on the same path of studying the subject.

The hypotheses proposed attempt to delineate some local ideas that are somewhat idyllic. New contributions are also added regarding the origin of the city of Paraná. Perhaps combining existing contributions somewhat forgotten in 21st-century schools and universities, which continue to uphold the usual, repetitive ideas with little historical documentary or archaeological foundation. Even in communication and media circles, this mysterious and romantic aspect continues to be upheld, more akin to literature than to documents.
