A “necessária ciência” e o “estilo e praxe dos sertões”
This article presents a colonial document from the archives of the IEB concerning the enslavement of Indigenous peoples in eighteenth-century Amazonia. Entitled Directorio manual, the text was most likely authored by a Jesuit and engages with the thorny issue of the examination of Indigenous enslavement. Colonial Amazonian society was fundamentally based on Indigenous slavery. In this context, inquiries into the legality and legitimacy of enslave…
Representative Institutions and Parliamentary Culture in the Portuguese and Spanish Empires ( c . 1500– c . 1700)
This article explores the role of representative assemblies in the diverse territories of the early modern Spanish and Portuguese empires spanning the Americas, parts of Asia, and Africa. It begins with a concise overview of the Portuguese and Spanish representative assemblies, commonly referred to as the Cortes . The second section raises some preliminary questions about how the parliamentary culture brought by the Spanish and Portuguese to thei…
They Called It Peace
Lauren Benton's new book on the European overseas empires between 1400 and 1900 departs from the tendency among historians of international law to focus on major wars rather than smaller conflicts. Benton demonstrates how the violence resulting from “small wars” could have significant consequences, perhaps even more substantial than those wrought by major confrontations.Benton's focus on “minor” warfare presents an inherent methodological challen…
Norms beyond Empire
An imperial formation joins a composite polity
This essay seeks to understand the workings of Portugal's overseas domains between 1580 and 1640, the time when kingdom and empire found themselves under the umbrella of the Hispanic Monarchy and were ultimately ruled from Madrid in lieu of Lisbon. The authors aim to identify what was new or different during this period with regard to the nature of political information on the Portuguese Empire, and the means of its collection, assessment and tra…
Political Thought in Portugal and its Empire, c.1500–1800
Showcasing texts by Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian authors, this volume demonstrates the wealth of the political thought of early modern Portugal and its empire. Gathering together important texts on social order, government, and politics by authors who made a significant contribution to the development of early modern Portugal, it demonstrates that Portugal was the setting for vibrant political debate, often shaped by, and emerging in response to…

The European Seaborne Empires
Covering the period between the sixteenth century and the Age of Revolutions, this book analyzes the trajectory of the five western European “seaborne” empires: the Spanish, the Portuguese, the French, the British, and the Dutch. While the undertaking is ambitious, Gabriel Paquette proves up to the task. Based on an in-depth command of the secondary literature, The European Seaborne Empires comprehensively compares these five imperial formations'…
António Manuel Hespanha (1945-2019)
Our friend, colleague, and teacher António Manuel Hespanha, Portugal's foremost historian of law and administration and a major influence on the reconceptualization of Brazilian colonial history and of the history of the Portuguese empire in general, passed away on July 1, 2019, after a long struggle with colon cancer. Renowned not only for the volume and quality of his publications but also for his personal kindness and generosity to students an…

The political constitution of the Iberian monarchies 1
The creation of what are known as the Iberian monarchies was the more or less unforeseeable outcome of a series of political and dynastic processes. Equally crucial for defining the constitutional profile of each of the Iberian kingdoms was the institutionalisation of their legal systems. This chapter analyses the political processes that affected the European territories of composite monarchies, the multiregional or composite nature of these mon…

La diffusion de la législation royale au Portugal et dans ses possessions atlantiques, 1621-1808
Cet article examine le processus par lequel la législation royale fut disséminée au Portugal et à travers ses territoires atlantiques entre 1621 et 1808. Grâce à l’exploration d’un grande variété de sources (la plupart de ces documents étaient produits par les conseils municipaux), cette étude commence par l’analyse de l’élaboration des lois royales qui étaient dictées par les officiers de la Couronne à la cour royale. Par ailleurs, cette étude i…
Monarchy Transformed
This decisive contribution to the long-running debate about the dynamics of state formation and elite transformation in early modern Europe examines the new monarchies that emerged during the course of the 'long seventeenth century'. It argues that the players surviving the power struggles of this period were not 'states' in any modern sense, but primarily princely dynasties pursuing not only dynastic ambitions and princely prestige but the conse…

O ensino da história em tempos pós-coloniais
Os resultados da sondagem efectuada a manuais de história usados em escolas de Portugal e do Brasil são muito reveladores acerca da imagem do descobrimento do Brasil. No que respeita a Portugal, verifica-se que a representação do descobrimento continua a ser estruturada por uma série de crenças que entroncam no antigo imaginário colonialismo lusitano. Quanto aos manuais brasileiros, transmitem uma imagem mais ambígua do descobrimento, onde coloni…
A centralidade da periferia
O artigo pretende analisar as dinâmicas e relações dos vários agentes envolvidos nos conflitos decorrentes da exploração da prata e das relações comerciais da região platina. Entende-se que estudar os conflitos a partir da dualidade Portugal e Espanha não é suficiente para explicar a complexidade daquele cenário, tendo em vista que ambos comportam-se de forma heterogênea, e que havia outras nações, como Inglaterra, França e Holanda que também tin…
A internacionalização da historiografia em Portugal no século XXI
Este texto pretende apresentar as condições institucionais da internacionalização da produção historiográfica em Portugal nos últimos 20 anos e propor explicações para o facto de a comunidade historiográfica internacional deter ainda um deficiente conhecimento sobre as realidades históricas portuguesas e sobre o trabalho dos historiadores portugueses. Após um diagnóstico inicial em que se resumem os principais contributos de um debate que teve lu…

Conheci a Sacuntala de Miranda no final da década de 1980, no tempo em que eu era estudante de História na Universidade Nova de Lisboa. A Sacuntala leccionava a disciplina de História Económica e Social (séculos XVIII-XX), e lembro-me muito bem da maneira entusiasmada como nos falava da industrialização que teve início em finais de Setecentos e dos seus efeitos na economia e na sociedade desse tempo. O seu conhecimento da bibliografia – sobretudo…
O governo e a administração do Brasil sob os Habsburgo e os primeiros Bragança
La historiografía dedicada al gobierno y a la administración del Brasil en el período 1580-1700 ha conocido un desarrollo muy significativo. Además de haberse registrado una interesante discusión conceptual, se asiste a la formulación de una serie de nuevos modelos interpretativos, así como a la apertura de temas y campos poco o nada explorados. El fin de este artículo es caracterizar esta evolución y llamar la atención sobre este estimulante ter…

Politics and power relations in Portugal (sixteenth‐eighteenth centuries)
This article surveys the work of the last decade or so on politics, government and representation in early‐modern Portugal. Traditional views of a ‘precocious’ absolutism are shown to have been modified by a newer understanding of political power as plural and dispersed. Underlying this perception has been the study of ‘political culture’ conceived as a deep and wide‐ranging grammar of political discourse expressed not only in the formal and symb…
Ceremonial and ritual in the Cortes of Portugal (1581–1698)
Recent work on the Portuguese Parliament (Cortes) suggests that there is an enduring tendency among historians to project upon traditional representative institutions categories and values derived from modern parliamentary experience. It is necessary, therefore, to begin by evaluating those categories. The constitutional role of the Cortes, the pattern of representation in the Cortes, the significance and meaning of ceremonial and ritual, and the…
