Abstract
Abstract The article analyzes the narratives of three travels along the Capim River, in the state of Pará, Brazil, between 1849 and 1897: those of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913), João Barbosa Rodrigues (1842–1909) and Emil Goeldi (1859 –1917), who traveled with another scientist, Jacques Huber (1867–1914). These are considered the first scientists to explore the river and publish work on it. We highlight the intertextuality of their reports and also the process of knowledge translation between travelers and their interlocutors, an approach that we consider necessary and unavoidable for the development of this field of investigation. Our main sources are published narratives, sometimes associated with manuscripts and iconography.
