Resumo(s)
Na Amazónia colonial, sementes, cascas, folhas, frutos e outras partes de
vegetais e de animais das florestas eram recolhidos, preparados e negociados
para diversíssimos efeitos. Serviam, por exemplo, de remédios na medicina e
farmacologia, de ingredientes em comidas e bebidas e de tintas e unguentos
corporais. Com base em fontes dos séculos XVII ao XIX, a presente dissertação
investiga a história de saberes e práticas relativos a uma seleção de produtos
naturais da Amazónia: o almíscar, o pau-cravo, as pimentas, o puxuri, o urucum
e o carajuru. A análise das fontes desvenda a circulação de ideias ligadas a estas
substâncias, rastreando analogias e paralelismos entre as especiarias da
Amazónia e as do Oriente e realçando o impacto e a disseminação de
conhecimentos e práticas ameríndios. Neste contexto, são destacados os
dicionários setecentistas de Língua Geral Amazónica e a sua terminologia das
especiarias amazónicas.
In colonial Amazonia, seeds, barks, leaves, fruits, and other parts of plants and animals from the forests were collected, prepared and traded for multifarious purposes. They served, for instance, as remedies in medicine and pharmacology, as ingredients in food and drinks, and as dyes and body ointments. Based on sources from the 17th to the 19th centuries, this thesis investigates the history of knowledge and practices regarding a selection of natural products from Amazonia: musk, bark-clove, peppers, puxuri, annatto and carajuru. The analysis of the sources reveals the circulation of ideas associated with these substances, tracing analogies and parallels between spices from the Amazon and from the East and highlighting the impact and dissemination of Amerindian knowledge and practices. In this context, special attention is given to 18thcentury dictionaries of Língua Geral Amazónica and their terminology of the Amazonian spices.
