KEY WORDS:

history of Egypt; historiography; French imperialism; Eurocentrism; orientalism

BIG AREA: Ciências Humanas
AREA: História
SUMMARY:

The preface historique of the Description de l’Egypte, written by Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, although
mentioned in discussions on orientalism, did not have its historical narrative properly analyzed. The
objective of this dissertation is, by looking at the history of Egypt narrated in the preface, to understand
what tools were used to write it, to discover the links between this narrative and the imperialist efforts of
Napoleonic France, and to understand what Fourier sought to do or propose in your writing. It is
expected to demonstrate, through the analysis of its production, its narrative and the similarities and
differences of the preface with other contemporary historical narratives, that the preface must be
studied as a document that presents many other possibilities in addition to being the representation
writing of orientalist genesis.
