Domar as águas e os sertões da fronteira intra-americana: a centralidade dos caminhos fluviais nas disputas luso-espanholas do Tratado de Santo Ildefonso
(Associação Nacional de História, 2019-12) BRITO, Adilson Junior Ishihara
This article discusses the process of demarcation of boundaries between Portuguese and Spanish possessions, at the juncture of the Treaty of Santo Ildefonso (1777). During the process, which took place between 1780 and 1791, the rivers became important points of intra-American disputes between the Iberian demarcation commissions, since they could be taken as the natural dividing lines of the physical space subordinated to one or another monarchy, as well as ways in which the unknown localities, along with their natural resources and native populations, could be mapped. We will focus on several military incursions into the tributaries of the Negro and Japurá rivers, central to the parallel disputes between Portuguese and Spanish during the demarcations, which demonstrate the great concern with the intra-American borders of Portuguese dominions, to tame the backlands and turn them into jurisdictions.

Quando a aldeia se torna vila: o processo de secularização da Missão de Trocano no baixo rio Madeira (1730-1790)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-08-17) FONSECA, Marcela Gomes; ARENZ, Karl Heinz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0770998951374481
This dissertation aims to analyze the process of secularization of the missionary village of Trocano, located on the lower Madeira River, elevated to the category of Vila (township) under the name of Borba, the new, on January 1, 1756, by the enlightened and anti-Jesuit policy of the then Secretary for Inner Affairs of the Kingdom, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the future Marquis of Pombal. Considered the first missionary village in the backlands of the State of Grão-Pará and Maranhão to be elevated to the category of civil village by the Pombaline policy, Trocano was located in a strategic region. First, because it is on an internal frontier route between the State of Grão-Pará and Maranhão and the Captaincy of Mato Grosso, and external one, between the Spanish and Portuguese domains in South America. And second, because it is on a hydrographic route to a hinterland promising in minerals, spices and indigenous labor. It is believed that the pioneer secularization of the village of Trocano, which was visites in person by the then Governor of the State of Grão-Pará and Maranhão, Francisco Xavier de Mendonça Furtado, brother of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, confirms the hypothesis here defended, that the missionary villages located in border regions were priorities in the implementation of the Pombal policy for the Amazon valley.
