Abstract(s)
O ponto de partida deste trabalho foram as habilitações para familiar do Santo Ofício que se encontram no Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo em Portugal. Através destes documentos conseguimos conhecer os membros pertencentes à elite do Pará e Maranhão, pois que nestes processos encontramos informações preciosas, tais como cópias dos seus assentos de baptismo e casamento, informações sobre origens, genealogias e, até mesmo, algumas particularidades que eram relatadas pelas testemunhas interrogadas. Objetivamos apresentar um grupo da elite paraense que estava estabelecida nas capitanias do Pará e Maranhão na segunda metade do século XVIII. Para o efeito, analisamos a origem dessa elite (geográfica e social), a sua inserção no Império Ultramarino Luso, as redes de sociabilidade e solidariedade que montavam através de casamentos, amizades e negócios. Nos propomos a responder à questão: Quem era essa elite, constituída por homens e mulheres habilitados pela Inquisição? Nesta sequência, analisamos o perfil, as estratégias, as formas de acumulação, o património, as redes familiares e de sociabilidade dos homens e mulheres que pediram habilitação ao Santo Ofício no século XVIII, sendo moradores no estado do Grão-Pará e Maranhão. Na primeira parte da tese apresentamos dados mais gerais; tais como a caracterização do espaço amazónico, os seus componentes económicos e administrativos, bem como o perfil geral desta elite habilitada pela Inquisição. Na segunda parte, trazemos as trajetórias de alguns habilitados, suas estratégias de obtenção e manutenção de status, qualidade e poder. Neste sentido, o nome passa a ser o fio condutor das pesquisas que se conectam às tramas da vida económica, política e social do Grão-Pará colonial.
The starting point of this thesis was the qualifications for familiar of the Holy Office, which are located in the National Archives of Torre do Tombo in Portugal. Through these documents, we get to know the members belonging to the elite of Para and Maranhao, considering that in these processes we found valuable information, such as copies of their baptism and marriage certificates, information about origins, genealogies and even some peculiarities that were reported by the witnesses questioned. We aim to introduce a group of the Para's elite that was established in the captaincy of Para and Maranhao in the second half of the 18th century. Thereunto, we analysed the origin of this elite (geographic and socially speaking), its insertion in the Luso Overseas Empire, the sociability and solidarity networks that they built through marriages, friendships and businesses. Our intention is to answer the question: Who was this elite, consisting of men and women empowered by the Inquisition? Following this discussion, we analysed the profile, the strategies, the forms of accumulation, the properties, the family, relatives and social networks of men and women who applied for qualification to the Holy Office in the 18th century, being residents in the state of Grao-Para and Maranhao. In the first part of this research, we present more general data, like the characterization of the Amazonian space, its economic and administrative components, as well as the general profile of this Inquisition-enabled elite. In the second part, we brought the trajectories of some of these enabled people, their strategies for obtaining and maintaining their status, quality and power. In this regard, the names and the family names of this elite become the researches' common thread that connects to the plots of the economic, political and social life of the colonial Grao-Para.
