A voz dos bandos: colectivos de justiça e ritos da palavra portuguesa em Timor Leste colonial
Este artigo examina as relaçÔes entre o discurso da justiça e a prĂĄtica do ritual nos bandos do governo colonial portuguĂȘs em Timor Leste, entre a segunda metade do sĂ©culo XIX e as primeiras dĂ©cadas do sĂ©culo XX. Os bandos consistiam em ordens e instruçÔes de comando emanadas pelo governador portuguĂȘs em DĂli, e comunicadas de forma cerimonial por oficiais Ă s populaçÔes dos diversos reinos timorenses dispersos pelo paĂs. Bandos eram um instrumento por excelĂȘncia de governação colonial dos assuntos indĂgenas, servindo para arbitrar conflitos, punir transgressĂ”es e, em geral, instituir realidades no mundo timorense. Contudo, esta instituição assumiu igualmente uma singular expressĂŁo nos usos timorenses, servindo bandos para comunicar tambĂ©m as ordens de autoridades tradicionais, os liurais. O artigo acompanha as variaçÔes coloniais e indĂgenas que os bandos adquiriram em Timor Leste, conceptualizando-os enquanto colectivos de justiça. Ao considerar assim os bandos como colectivos â formaçÔes heterogĂ©neas em que elementos linguĂsticos e nĂŁo linguĂsticos se combinam na produção de efeitos de poder sobre as populaçÔes â o artigo propĂ”e uma via conceptual alternativa Ă s perspectivas linguĂsticas e literĂĄrias de anĂĄlise do discurso colonial
Entre consumos suntuaÌrios e comuns: a posse de objetos exoÌticos entre alguns habitantes do Porto (seÌculos XVI â XVII)
O estudo da documentaçaÌo referente aos doadores da MisericoÌrdia do Porto entre os seÌculos XVI e XVII, atraveÌs dos objetos exoÌticos patentes nos respectivos testamentos e inven- taÌrios â estes uÌltimos provenientes de uma aÌrea que se estende de Macau ao Brasil â, permite discernir uma panoÌplia de objetos que mudaram a cultura material dos portuenses em contato com os territoÌrios da expansaÌo portuguesa. Um levantamento sistemaÌtico permitiu jaÌ rastrear, ateÌ o ano de 1699, 257 doadores, dos quais se apresentaraÌo aqui apenas alguns, referentes a benfeitores que, naÌo obstante possuiÌrem bens moÌveis nesse aÌmbito, naÌo saÌo dados como tendo estado nos territoÌrios de expansaÌo transoceaÌnica. Argumentar-se-aÌ que essa circulaçaÌo de objetos naÌo foi exclusiva das elites nobiliaÌrquicas, nem dos grandes centros urbanos, pelo que a sua difusaÌo atingiu maiores proporçoÌes do que aquelas que a historiografia tem admitido ateÌ agora. A cidade em observaçaÌo neste estudo â o Porto dos seÌculos XVI e XVII â estava longe de ser das maiores da Europa nesse periÌodo, quer em dimensaÌo territorial, quer em efetivos populacionais, embora se situasse numa regiaÌo de demografia pujante, que canalizou os seus excedentes desde cedo para a emigraçaÌo interna e externa â o Entre Douro e Minho. Como teremos ocasiaÌo de verificar, fidalgos e nobres possuiÌam bens exoÌticos, mas estes encontravam-se tambeÌm entre mercadores e ateÌ artesaÌos mais desafogados. Por outro lado, nem todos os objetos provenientes dos espaços da expansaÌo transoceaÌnica devem ser conotados com bens de luxo.The study of the sources referring to the donors of the MisericĂłrdia of the city of Porto
during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries has revealed the presence of numerous exotic objects in their last wills and inventories. A survey has traced 257 donors until 1699, some of them
having died in an area that extends from Macao to Brazil. Only a small number of cases shall be
presented here, pertaining to benefactors who, in spite of owning objects of transoceanic origin,
seem to have remained in mainland Portugal. It shall be argued that the circulation of objects has
not been exclusive either to the elites of the nobility or to the large urban centres, their diffusion having been on a larger scale than what has been admitted until now. The city under scrutiny in
this study â Porto during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries â was not one of the bigger cities
in this period, either in what respects to size or population, although it was located in an area of
flourishing demography, that channelled its surplus population early on to internal and external
emigration. Fidalgos and noblemen owned exotic goods, but these were to be found among
merchants and even well-to-do artisans. On the other hand, not all objects originating from the
areas of transoceanic expansion should be considered as luxury goods.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Plantar povoaçÔes no territĂłrio: (re)construindo a urbanização da capitania do PiauĂ, 1697-1761
The PiauĂ provinceÂŽs urbanization has kept up with since late 17th century a complex process dealt among Portuguese Crown, the regal representatives, the network woven by the Casa da Torre and by the resident population in its countryside. What it was content of Rodelas countryside has begun to build with territorial identity since the foundation of first parish in 1697. Structuring itself discontinuously in time and space, the PiauĂ had reformed in 1758, year of creation of its autonomous government. And had became urban in 1761 when the king D. JosĂ© I and marquis of Pombal had framed by the royal letter written in June 19 a territory formed by six towns and one city. Thus, this paper purposes to reconstructing the PiauĂ province according to agents involved in the urbanization processes. It proposes to deconstructing CrownÂŽs polices by means towns strategically placed in territory aiming at control and "remedy" of routine injustices practiced in PiauĂÂŽs hinterlands. The method of presenting this reconstruction draws on interconnection between text (manuscript documents) and image (maps and photography) which in their discourses have represented a PiauĂ as space of experiences apprehended as much in official dimension as inhabitantÂŽs everyday life.A urbanização da capitania do PiauĂ acompanhou, desde finais do sĂ©culo XVII, um complexo processo negociado entre a Coroa portuguesa, os representantes rĂ©gios, a rede clientelar urdida pela Casa da Torre e a população residente em seus sertĂ”es. O que antes era conteĂșdo dos sertĂ”es de Rodelas passou a construir-se como identidade territorial a partir da fundação da primeira freguesia, em 1697, dedicada a Nossa Senhora da VitĂłria. Estruturando-se descontinuamente no tempo e no espaço, o PiauĂ reforma-se em 1758, ano da autonomização do seu governo. E fez-se urbano em 1761, quando D. JosĂ© I e o marquĂȘs de Pombal equacionaram, por meio da carta rĂ©gia de 19 de junho, um territĂłrio formado por seis vilas e uma cidade. Nessa direção, o objetivo deste artigo consiste em reconstruir o processo de formação da capitania do PiauĂ segundo os agentes envolvidos na urbanização do territĂłrio. PropĂ”e-se descortinar as polĂticas da Coroa por meio da oficialização de povoaçÔes estrategicamente locadas no territĂłrio visando o controle e o "remĂ©dio" das injustiças rotineiras do PiauĂ. O mĂ©todo de apresentar essa reconstrução vale-se da interconexĂŁo entre texto (documentação manuscrita) e imagem (mapas e fotografias), que em suas entrelinhas representam um PiauĂ como espaço de experiĂȘncias sentidas tanto na dimensĂŁo oficial quanto no cotidiano dos seus moradores
Efeito do desbaste seletivo nas estimativas de parùmetros genéticos em progénies de Pinus caribaea Morelet var. hondurensis
The objective of this work was to study the effect of selective thinning on the estimates of genetic parameters in progenies of Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis. The progeny test was installed in June 1986, following a 10 Ă 10, triple square lattice design, containing ten trees in linear plots in 3.0 Ă 3.0m spacing. Twelve years after the planting, a selective thinning based on Multi-effect index (selection for DBH) was performed, leaving six trees per plot. The assessments were done in four situations: A (before thinning); B (among thinned trees); C (among remnant trees at 13 years of age) and D (two years after the thinning). The following traits were analyzed: total height (H), diameter at breast height (DBH), volume (VOL), stem form (FOR), foxtail (FT), wood density at 1.3 m (WD1) and wood density at the half height (WD2). The thinning led to increase in the estimates of variability among progenies for VOL and decrease for ALT and DBH. There was a high and positive genetic correlation among the growth traits, mainly between DBH and VOL. The latter remained unchanged after thinning. The narrow-sense heritabilities at the individual level, showed a slight increase while at the family mean level had a reduction with the thinning. The estimates of breeding values increased with the thinning. This may lead to an easier identification of the best progenies in further selection
The Oporto mixed-longitudinal growth, health and performance study. Design, methods and baseline results
Background: Studies concerning child and adolescent growth, development, performance and health aimed at the multiple interactions amongst this complex set of variables are not common in the Portuguese speaking countries. Aim: The aim of this paper is to address the key ideas, methodology and design of the Oporto Growth, Health and Performance Study (OGHPS). Subjects and methods: The OGHPS is a multidisciplinary mixed-longitudinal study whose main purpose is to examine the multiple interactions among biological, environmental and lifestyle indicators that affect growth, development, health and performance of Portuguese adolescents aged 10â18 years old. Results: This study briefly presents baseline results for growth, physical fitness and lifestyle behaviours for those participating in the cross-sectional sample (n â 8000). Approximately 30% were over-fat or obese. On average, boys were more physically fit and active than girls. Few adolescents meet the guidelines for sleep duration (â10%) and eating habits (16.2â24.8%), while 76â85% meet the recommended levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Conclusions: The OGHPS has an innovative approach due to its mixed-longitudinal design and the broad array of variables. Furthermore, subsequent analyses of the longitudinal data will enable a detailed exploration of important factors affecting the growth trajectories of health and performance variables and will also help to identify some of the most opportune times for interventions in terms of health behaviours
