abstract

Studying Francisco Cabral’s work in the Japanese Jesuit mission through the lens of failure tells us much about the mission’s wider contexts. It highlights the differences existing in the interpretations of the Jesuit way of proceeding, over against the depiction of the Society of Jesus as an immutable and unmovable tradition. Instead of being an isolated case, to be repudiated, Francisco Cabral appears as the product of the various contexts that he inhabited and as an expression of the Society to which he belonged, regardless of the actuality of his vision of mission. This study also considers the instability of the depictions of non‑European peoples in sixteenth‑century texts written by Europeans, confirming how they could be based on the political necessities of the day.
