O Programa de Pós-Graduação em História (PPHIST) do Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (IFCH) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) foi criado em 2004, em nível de Mestrado. Em 2010, teve o seu Doutorado aprovado, cuja primeira turma iniciou em meados de 2011. O objetivo do PPHIST/UFPA é o de refletir historiograficamente sobre a diversidade social, étnica e cultural da Amazônia na sua relação com a biodiversidade local. Nesse sentido, trata-se de formar e capacitar pesquisadores e professores dentro desse campo de múltiplas realidades. Por outro lado, objetiva-se também o fomento e a criação de estudos históricos que relacionem a realidade e a historicidade da Amazônia com análises de outras dinâmicas históricas brasileiras e da Pan-Amazônia. Como primeiro Doutorado em História da região amazônica, o PPHIST/UFPA quer se consolidar como uma Pós-Graduação de referência para os demais estados da região e, inclusive, para os países que compõem a Pan-Amazônia.

This term was created during the Spanish Civil War, when, at that time, the army of four columns led by General Francisco Franco was approaching Madrid marching against the legalistic government of Azaña. Fifth-Column would refer to a group of spies who would report about strategies, organization and actions of the ruling group to the enemy. This term was spread around the world being appropriated during World War II to designate those who would serve as spies for Germany, Italy and Japan that were known, at that time, as "subjects of the Axis". They were constantly harassed through the printed letters from newspapers, or through the radio programs, movies, literature or even the theater. The sources used for the study were mainly newspapers such as Folha do Norte, Folha Vespertina, O Estado do Pará e A Vanguarda. Federal legislation was also used, as well as the Cordel Brochure O Brasil rompeu com eles, from Zé Vicente.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Ações colonizadoras em descompasso: legislação, propaganda e atuação de colonos estrangeiros e nacionais nos últimos anos do império e início da república no Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-06-09) SANTOS, Francisnaldo Sousa dos; NUNES, Francivaldo Alves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4125313573133140The present study seeks to reflect the laws operate with the goal of creating colonial cores and, consequently, the introduction of domestic and foreign settlers in the Bragantina region, Northeastern Pará, between the years of 1886 and 1902. We seek to analyze not only the provincial authorities and State claims behind these frameworks, but also the reactions of the colonists on the agricultural front of such legislation. While these public agents aimed to have a control over those rural areas, its occupants and the own agricultural production, the immigrants sought the establishment and extension of rights provided for not only the laws but also in advertisements carried out in Europe with the purpose of attracting immigrants. Within this universe of frameworks, we still perceive the differences between the programs of colonization thought between the end of the imperial period and the first years of the Republic, Governments of Lauro Sodré, José Paes de Carvalho and Augusto Montenegro.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adeus Maio! Salve Junho!: narrativas e representações dos festejos juninos em Belém do Pará nos anos de 1950(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-01-08) GOMES, Elielton Benedito Castro; COSTA, Antonio Maurício Dias da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2563255308649361This study aims to analyze the narratives and representations of June festivities in Belém of Pará in the 1950s. These festivities won highlights in the pages of books, newspapers and magazines circulating in Belém from the period in question, where it was possible to find ads, chronicles and novels that deal with this festive time. The June festivals of great importance to a significant portion of belenense society, counted on the participation of several musical ensembles, “juninos” groups and audio equipment animating these events performed in various spaces of the suburbs and the city center. In addition, several were the views of journalists and intellectuals on this festive celebration, these being analyzed from the distribution of roles of values and behavior standards proposed for them in his writings. In this sense, the concept of representation, proposed by the French historian Roger Chartier, permeate the dissertation in question, in which the author points out that the speeches are interspersed strategies and practices that tend to impose authority and even induce the other the choices and they are built dialogically a game that includes interests, conflicts and negotiations. The research presented included aid supplies taken from the newspaper O Liberal, Folha do Norte, A Província do Pará, O Estado do Pará, A Vanguarda and the magazine Amazônia, published in the 1950s, as well as memoirs novels that talk about the subject worked here in the second half of the twentieth century.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Agentes da ordem e da desordem: polícia, política e sociedade no Pará de 1879 a 1904(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-01-05) VILHENA, Anderson Alexandre Cruz; FARIAS, William Gaia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2553754490715388During the early years of the republican regime the military went through a process of institutional restructuring and consolidation of a building movement for an alleged "military class". In this movement is possible to see the making of Pará law enforcers since the Empire as a tacitly defined project in line with the ideas of civility and modernity at the time. These work seeks to understand the police beyond the result of a high officialdom national effort to impose this agenda to a local force subordinate to the Army, but as a result of a historical process in which the Pará military themselves were actors and agents. It is precisely in order to understand the process of making of the republican police force that this research analyzes the security organization in Pará, as well the subjects who embodied this project, and how they are interacting with Pará society in the late XIX century to the XX. Understanding the early decades of the Republic and the uprisings, disciplinary problems and reforms of Pará military during this period as doings of resistance that demonstrate awareness of his own agency; I consider that yet included in a military build process and monopolization of force, the Pará police must be seen as active participant in the creation of an organized, well-structured and effective military force.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Agostinho de Souza Moreira, comandante dos rios Guamá e Capim: trajetória de uma liderança cabana do interior da Amazônia (1829-1837)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-03-14) NASCIMENTO, Wesley David Silva do; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299This dissertation analyzes the trajectory of Agostinho de Souza Moreira, a leader from the interior of Grão-Pará in the early years of Cabanagem (1835-1836). Through the research around this subject, this work aims to address the unfolding of the hut war in the Capim and Guamá rivers, which comprises the parishes of São Domingos da Boa Vista and São Miguel da Cachoeira, and the village of Ourém; in addition to exerting influence in the town of Bragança and in the place of Viseu. In these locations, Agostinho Moreira acted as General Commander with the responsibility of legitimizing the authority of the cabano government in the region. Previously, this guy had stints in the City Council, the Ordinary Court and the National Guard, which allowed him to meet many people, the supervision of the region's production, in addition to the local geography. Historically marked by escapes, by the action of the mocambos, indigenous resistance and military desertions, this region known as the middle of the road between Pará and Maranhão was convulsed in many struggles led by these peoples, who fought for better living conditions and their freedoms, during the 1820s. Thus, from 1836 onwards, when Cabanagem began to radicalize to the interior of Pará, Agostinho Moreira secured notoriety for having control of a region that held the necessary goods for a war economy that threatened the control of the interprovincial authorities who armed themselves heavily in the hunt for the cabano leader. In this sense, we will present the region of Agostinho Moreira's activity marked by crossings and refuges. And then we will analyze his trajectory in search of a place in local power until his rise as a cabano leader, highlighting his organization, his war strategies and his escapes during the anticabana repression. We did this through the search for documentary traces that would lead us to Agostinho Moreira found in letters and correspondence exchanged between authorities, terms of council, and newspaper reports that circulated in the Empire, using the methodology of the indiciary paradigm to identify the action of the amocambados and indigenous people in the period of greatest radicality of the Cabana war.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Além da pedra e cal: a (re)construção do Forte do Presépio (Belém do Pará, 2000-2004)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-12-07) COSTA, Dayseane Ferraz da; CHAMBOULEYRON, Rafael Ivan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7906172621582952This dissertation discusses the process of restoration of the Forte do Presépio in Belém do Pará (Brazil), in 2000, and its transformation into a museum. It analyses the appropriation of that historic heritage, as well as the conflicts, disputes and negotiations as regards the site, being a heritage of memory. It thus focuses on the role played by history and the historian in this process.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) As almas da terra: a violência no campo paraense(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-08-20) SACRAMENTO, Elias Diniz; FONTES, Edilza Joana Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9447513031256372During the government of the Military Dictatorship, Amazônia he/she became part of the project of priorities to help Brazil to reach a larger development. Pará had in that process great prominence for being it ' portal of entrance of the area '. Like this, good part of the enterprises that were implanted in this state, it didn't take in consideration the population that inhabited this longínqua it leaves of Brazil, he/she has been forgetting a lot for the federal governments. The thought projects were totally opposed to the type of economic activities that during centuries worked him in the area for the existent communities, as of the natives or of the colonists. The projects agroindustriais had as goal the appropriation of great amounts of earth for they reach its objectives. With the military representatives' concession, Amazônia suffered deep changes after the installation of those agriculture business, doing with that a lot of cities that already existed lived a phase of great conflicts for they allow not that the projects if they simply installed in agreement with the those managers' will and that harmed countless families. The municipal district of Moju vivenciou that scenery. The process of installation of the agroindústrias still began in the decade of 1970, but it went in to decade of 1980 that the colonists saw each other threatened of losing its lands for those enterprises. In that way, in this work, I analyze as he/she gave him to the entrance of those projects, as well as the those colonists' organization and the enfrentamentos that had during this whole period and that did with that with that this scenery if it transformed at " war " stage for several moments. The documents used as dossier, report of newspapers, proceedingses of meetings, report of magazines, interviews of syndical leaderships, tillers, you slay of the violence, they help to understand as he/she gave him this turbulent process in the small city, that should arrive to the at every cost ' economic development.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Apontamentos para história da família e demografia histórica da Capitania do Grão-Pará (1750-1790)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-09) CARDOSO, Alanna Souto; VIEIRA JÚNIOR, Antonio Otaviano; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6764908679902300In the History of Brazil Colony, the family had been presented as a basic institution, in view of the relevance of its functions, social, economics and politics, along of this period. It is observed that the historians that research about family in Brazil had been come back toward the Southeastern region, in special the São Paulo society, and few have directed its studies for other regions, clearly those regions where they had been developed societies had not directly entailed to the exporting sector of the Colony and the societies that not received great contingent from foreign. It is also known that the studies of the family, when associated to the historical demography in the Captainship of Grão-Pará, had not obtained more resulted detailed of what the identification of approach statisticians of the distribution’s men and women of different ethnic-social category. It is in this direction that this dissertation, by means of the census of 1778 of the Captainship of Grão-Pará and the trajectory’s analysis of the elite family Morais Bittencourt (1750-1790), intends to delineate the elites and social hierarchies in the society of Pará.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aqueles que merecem a opinião pública: justiça de paz, cidadania e mobilização política nas primeiras eleições no Grão-Pará (1827-1841)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-09-25) MOURA, Danielle Figuerêdo; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299This thesis is devoted to studying the relationship between the first elections for representatives of the justice of the peace in Grão-Pará and the Cabano movement. Its scope ranges from 1827, with the regulation of this position, until 1833, when the third election for this position took place since its creation and which preceded the Cabano movement. The in-depth study of correspondence between municipal councils, judicial authorities, and provincial presidents, especially those concerning municipal elections, has proven that blacks, indigenous people and mixed-race people mobilized around local elections and assumed important positions in the legal and civil administration of towns, parishes and places in Grão-Pará between 1828 and 1834. It is demonstrated that despite the set of laws inaugurated with the 1824 Charter not extending many of its benefits to this segment of the population, the reality was quite different, since the appropriations made by the new legal devices informed daily struggles for expanding citizenship. This thesis argues, therefore, that the Cabano movement was born out of ethnic and political conflicts that had as an important stage the elections of lay judges. The experience of political mobilization, both in their election, deposition and acclamation, was in constant dialogue with a repertoire of new laws and a constitutional and liberal vocabulary, and was therefore fundamental to the emergence and diversity of dynamics of the Cabano movement. Finally, it is shown that the discussion raised by the Cabano movement in the Court in Rio de Janeiro, about the need to defend an idea of “order” and “civilization”, contributed to the arguments of the “lawyers” for the review of the justice of the peace, which culminated in its national reformulation in 1841.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) O arraial do espiritismo: a médium Anna Prado, positivistas, espíritas e católicos em Belém (1918-1923)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-06-20) EVANGELISTA, Sheila Izolete Mendes; HENRIQUE, Márcio Couto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9096024504515280This study aimed to discuss and analyze the impact of the activities of the medium phenomenal Anna Prado during the years 1918-1923, its importance in the popularization of Spiritualism and the fierce debates motivated by the phenomena. To ground the discussion and analysis, we evaluate the bibliography on spiritualism and psychic Anna Prado, newspaper articles which are occupied in disseminating and discussing the phenomena and the role of the literate elite to expose their beliefs about the phenomena contributing to the production of more a specific interpretation on the psychic events.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Arranjos, lei e consolidação do império: aplicação da lei das terras e apropriação das fazendas nacionais do Rio Branco (1830-1880)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-09-18) SANTOS, Maria José dos; FONTES, Edilza Joana Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9447513031256372This thesis investigated the process of application of the Law no. 601 of 1850, known as the Land Law in the Province of Amazonas and its developments on the border of Rio Branco. It was sought to understand the social, political and economic constitution of the subjects that formed the group of landlords from the creation of the Fazenda Reais and private farms, analyzing, afterwards, the creation of the Upper Amazon Region, setting up tents and the expansion process of farms after the extinction of the Sesmarias Law. Historically, the region of Rio Branco has undergone intense territorial and political processes of disputes that threatened Portuguese domination and, successively, the consolidation of the Brazilian Empire on that frontier. The 1830s and 1870s were marked by the attempt of land grabbing by the United Kingdom, known as the Pirara conflict in Rio Branco, and by the pressure of the United States of America that demanded Brazil to open up for navigation and trade on the Amazon River. All these factors made the Brazilian Empire expend different dimensions for other regions, more flexible with military and other people, maintaining them as allies to defend, colonize and consolidate the empire at the border of Rio Branco. In this context, the lands of the national farms, which belonged to the State, were gradually incorporated into the private patrimony of the military and exiled, as well as lands considered vacant, which were also public patrimony. The Land Law was not enforced, since, according to it, the only form of access to land was the purchase, but it was used politically by the Empire to secure the support of the local landlord class. This process lasted until the 1870s, when this relationship began to have another dimension, much more rigorous, less attached to the local elite and disposed of more charges, especially on the part of the Treasury over the appropriation of assets belonging to the Treasury as the lands of the national farms of the Rio Branco, clear indications that the Brazilian Empire in the borders of the Amazon finally recognized itself consolidated.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Arte, Belém, do abstracionismo à visualidade Amazônica (1957-1985): transições movediças e tensões globais(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-04-30) COSTA, Gil Vieira; FIGUEIREDO, Aldrin Moura de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4671233730699231This research addresses the visual arts in the artistic field specialized in Belém, especially in the period between 1957 and 1985. This period marks in the city the contact and the absorption of values and practices of the internationalist artistic currents, such as the modernist abstractionism, the postmodern vanguards and the contemporary art. The way in which the local field has established relations of openness and resistance to these currents is studied from the theories of coloniality. Usually, the 1960s and 1970s are seen as the moment when contemporary art established itself worldwide, so this thesis can be understood as a narrative of 'history of contemporary art'. In Belém, the consolidation of this artistic paradigm was experienced through shaky transitions – slow, discontinuous and hesitant – in which there was a clear dispute between global values and local practices. The tensions between 'global' and 'local', in the art produced in the city in that period, conditioned the emergence of important artistic projects, which still little known and debated. For many of these projects, the ideas and images of the Amazonia were fundamental components – a topic that can add new information and approaches to the debate about 'Brazilian art' in those decades.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Assinado, Pierre Beltrand. Por Ubiratan de Aguiar (1957-2023)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-01-10) PINHEIRO, Marcelo Coelho do Amaral; FONTES, Edilza Joana Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9447513031256372Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) O avesso das expectativas: exploração dos recursos naturais e exclusão em Moatize, Província de Tete, Moçambique (2000 a 2015)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-05-31) MATEUS, Estone Bento Mifolo; BEZARRE NETO, José Maia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7000143949499821The advancement of modern capitalism imposes new ways of facing the global and competitive Market, resulting from the growth of the industry, which demands raw material incessantly to feed this industry in a continuous line of progress. On the path of this unbridled race for the acquisition of raw material, the African continent becomes once again, the stage on which the games of capitalism interests take place, usually accompanied by a noisy silence and the apathy that has characterized African government, from the point of view of supervision and lag of collective interests, Africa has been the preferred place. In this context, Mozambique did not escape the rule, because of the existing coal deposits in the coal basin of Moatize; there is a growing flow of large companies interested in the exploitation of mineral coal. Faced with this meeting between two completely different realities, on the one hand the multinationals with extensive experience in the exploitation of resources and, on the other a technical and, a State, whose institutions are weak and without a technical capacity necessary to supervise enterprises of such magnitude, allied to a population without experience in these situation, resulting in a clash of very different realities. The companies taking advantage of the weaknesses presented, exempt themselves from corporate social responsibility, on the other hand, the new rich equip the State for personal or group benefits, installing a permanent conflict between the local populations claiming their legitimate rights and the extractive companies eager for profits, applying for the effect “Machiavellian” principles, in which the ends justify the means. This process results in exclusion in its various typologies, from environmental exclusion, social and economic exclusion. The marked level of social exclusion refers to the thought that the project may not be socially fair or environmentally sustainable, because the Mozambican political economy is essentially extractive and generating exclusion.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Barão de Marajó: um intelectual e político entre a Amazônia e a Europa (1855-1906)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-11-16) COELHO, Anna Carolina de Abreu; SARGES, Maria de Nazaré dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2076421409418420José Coelho da Gama e Abreu, the Baron of the Marajó, graduated in philosophy at the University of Coimbra, became respectable in the Portuguese intellectual circle, even his biographies were published in the press. He belonged to a rich and tradicional Family at Pará whose purchasing power and status were incresead by his marriage to Maria Pombo Brício. The Baron of the Marajó was a man who knew how to stay in power throughout his life performing different public offices during the Republican and Imperial periods. He began his career in 1855 as Director of Public Works in Pará, he was president of the provinces of Pará and Amazonas and congressman; It was a friend of Emperor Pedro II, but that did not stop him to become the first Republican Intendant of the Belém city, personally chosen by the governor Lauro Sodre. He ended his career as state senator in 1906, the year of his death. Popularizer of Amazon's interests in Europe, he was representative of Pará in the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1889 and at the Chicago World Fair in 1893. Despite half a century of public life, the Baron of the Marajó became better known as an intellectual who wrote reference books about Amazon, addressing issues of relevance to the definitions of Brazilian nationality and the specific interests of region his in the works: The Amazon, Amazons Regions and One Protest. His travels, published in From the Amazon to the Seine, Nile, Bosphoro and Danube - Notes of travel, were part of his training, and their reflections on European and Eastern cities have become critical in the performance of different public offices contributing to urban remodeling of the city in the second half of the nineteenth century. From these memories and forgetfulness, we seek to realize the political and intellectual trajectory of the Baron, an emblematic figure to the understanding of national formation in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) “Beatriz era mais fêmea que mulher”: feminilidade e masculinidade pela imprensa de Belém (1940)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-09-27) MOREIRA, Jessica Maria Pastana; CANCELA, Cristina Donza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8393402118322730In this work we will try to analyze the speeches about femininity and masculinity, using the articles from the newspapers from Belém and other capitals, which reported and updated their constituents daily with information about the crimes, imprisonment and death of a woman named Beatriz da Conceição, during 1940s. The society of the time defined spaces and behaviors for women and men, from which they could be in the order or disorder line, according to values and conducts. So, using control mechanisms - medical and legal guidelines - in order to keep an eye on the subjects and their bodies, the speeches about feminine and masculine standards were daily disseminated through the newspapers. It was so important to follow the imposed rules that the newspapers of large or small circulation - Folha Vespertina, Folha do Norte, O Estado do Pará, A Província do Pará, A Vanguarda, and O Liberal - when reporting the proceedings about Beatriz, brought in their narratives partial perspectives, value judgments about what was allowed or condemnable to women and men. And in this discursive dynamics about the standards in the public and private areas - woman of modesty, mother, prostitute, working man, murderer, and others - the complexity of the subjects allowed us to understand the multiple femininities and masculinities, considering the social markers of the individuals, also going through issues related to sexuality, crimes, honor, morality and violence.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Belém entre filmes e fitas: a experiência do cinema, do cotidiano das salas às representações sociais nos anos de 1920(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-08-12) CARNEIRO, Eva Dayna Felix; SARGES, Maria de Nazaré dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2076421409418420; LACERDA, Franciane Gama; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1007392320101957The social history of cinema is also marked by the habit of frequenting. In addition to the film, elements such as infrastructure and advertising plays a major role in order to create an atmosphere of seduction and involvement with the images displayed. The track of the cinema, among other ways, is linked to the viewer, the physical space of projection rooms and the sociability it worked out. This essay discusses the cinema in the city of Belém (Pará) in the 1920s. To investigate how much the cinema interacted with the urban scene that period. Likewise, we discuss elements of the infrastructure of the rooms such as accommodation, ventilation, and music. We sought to demonstrate that the act of watching a movie in the state capital of those years was just a part of the "ritual" of frequenting the cinema, hence the concern to understand the forms of sociability processed within those rooms. Besides, it is an analysis of the cinema acting as a mediator of social representations of gender and childhood.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Belém, uma história da chuva (1890 – 1920)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-08-29) GOMES, Kelvyn Werik Nascimento; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299This dissertation aims to explore the history of rain in the city of Belém, in the period from 1890 to 1922, with a specific focus on the influence that this natural phenomenon had on certain groups and the city itself. To achieve this, it examines the interest of various social actors in rain in Belém throughout the 19th century, but primarily in the final years of this century and the early 20th century. This includes the observations made by naturalist travelers who visited the region and observed the rain phenomenon, as well as the insights of memoirists and geographers. The work of naturalist Emilio Goeldi in collecting meteorological data is also highlighted, exploring how the study of rain was related to politics and Goeldi's public image, and how this interest became a significant part of scientific research in the region. This dissertation also focuses on the practical implications of rain in the daily lives of Belém's inhabitants. It examines how rain affected the relationship between the population, the Municipal Intendency, and nature, with an emphasis on attempts to address the population's demands regarding rain, especially in terms of urban transformations that have impacted and continue to affect the city and its residents. The influence of newspapers as mediators between the population and the government regarding rain-related issues is also explored, revealing how the media played a significant role in shaping public opinion and government actions. In conclusion, this dissertation delves into the importance of rain as a complex and multifaceted topic in Belém's history during the studied period, considering its impact on the scientific, political, and social spheres of the city.Dissertação Acesso aberto (Open Access) Os Cadernos do Promotor: as ações do Tribunal do Santo Ofício no Maranhão e Grão-Pará (1640-1750)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-06-25) CARVALHO, Leila Alves de; ARENZ, Karl Heinz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4213810951901055This research aims to analyse how the actions of the Court of the Holy Office in the Portuguese Amazon – Maranhão and Grão-Pará – within the temporal space which extends from 1640 to 1750. The intention is to understand the strategies employed by the Holy Office as a way of spreading its power in a period prior to the Visitation of 1763 during Pombal’s rule within the reality of the colony market by its huge extension and its diverse populations. In this context, we search to identify its agents, as well as the forms used to implement moral and religious discipline in this space and in this society. We will base ourselves, as main source, on the manuscripts of the Promoter of the Inquisition of Lisbon, and through them, try to detect the procedures established by the inquisitorial agents; quantitatively and qualitatively, which were the most relevant complaints from the Court's point of view; and to identify, for which reason some complaints did not turn into processes.
