'Singularitez among Singularitez' [Uniqueness among Originalities], the beautiful tupinambá is a 'prodigium fascinans' and' tremendum' [terrifying and fascinating wonder] that embodies the visual and emotional choc of the discovery. Unnamed deity and worrying demonic filiation, as well, she shows-up a mirror figure of the European. The detailed and itemized Thevet’s writing provides the reader of the 'Les singularitéz de la France antarctique' [The Originalities of Antarctic France] with a multisided and patch-worked image of the savage woman, who is perceived as an allegory of the New World, a kingdom of anomy and inversion as well as a space of mythopoeic dreams and ancient utopias.
