Abstract: The University of Aachen harbored for years the main centre of Studies on
Imagology of Germany and perhaps of the world. The Center was founded by Hugo Dyserinck,
who, in 1966, with the article "Zum Problem der 'images' und 'mirages' und ihrer Untersuchung
im Rahmen der vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft" opened the doors to a new Imagology.
He gathered there disciples, who roamed the new horizons with extensive research, which led to
the publication of the collection "Aachener Beiträge zur Komparatistik". In Brazil, the influence
of Dyserinck was also felt, for example, in the publication of my book Do cá e do lá.
Introdução à Imagologia, whose content is in part commented and illustrated.
