Resumo(s)
Na primeira metade do século XVIII, durante o reinado de D. João V, deu-se início a uma nova fase na estatística da população ultramarina, que ganhou regularidade durante o período pombalino, com o diploma régio de 21.05.1776. A partir de então todos os governadores ultramarinos deveriam enviar anualmente um “mapa” da população do território que administravam.
A Coroa portuguesa, com a finalidade de conhecer a população do império, mandou elaborar mapas estatísticos às entidades locais. Estes levantamentos populacionais tinham como objetivo promover o controlo sobre as populações e o seu território, assim como responder às necessidades administrativas, militares e fiscais. A recolha de dados assentava num processo burocrático e integrado em quadros normativos. Estas tabelas estatísticas incluíam informações sobre a composição social, religiosa, étnica e estrutura etária da população do império.
Tendo como fonte primordial o numeramento de 1720 e os mapas estatísticos disponíveis a partir de 1776 pretendemos estudar a categorização social em Goa, entre 1720-1835, numa perspetiva de longa duração. O estudo incidirá sobre as diversas fases temporais e “modelos estatísticos” utilizados em cada uma delas, assim como os quadros normativos que lhes estão associados. Serão analisadas as formas de levantamento de dados e as entidades envolvidas, bem como as especificidades locais em termos de aplicação das ordens régias. Será feita a identificação e evolução das diversas categorias sociais e as formas como em cada momento estas categorizações responderam às necessidades das administrações coloniais e às necessidades militares e fiscais da Coroa.
In the first half of the 18th century, during the reigning of D. João V, it was initiated a new phase of colonial population statistics, that gained regularity during the Pombal period with the royal law of may the 21st of 1776. Since then all colonial governors should send a “map” of the population in their territory annually. The Portuguese Crown, with the objective of knowing the population of the Empire ordered their local entities to make statistics maps. These population surveys had the goal of promoting the control over populations and their territory, as much as answering administrative, military and fiscal needs. The data collection was a bureaucratic process integrated in a normative framing. These “population tables” included data about the social, religious, ethnic and age composition of the population of the empire. Having as primary source the population´s charts of 1720 and statistic maps, available since 1776, we intend to study the social categorization in Goa from 1720 to 1835 in a long duration perspective. This study will focus on the different time phases and “statistic models” used in each of the phases. It will be analyzed the forms of data collection and the entities involved, as well as the local specificities in terms of the application of royal orders. It will be made the identification and the evolution of the different social categories and the forms that each of them took in different moments to respond to the needs of colonial administrations, as well as the military and fiscal needs of the Portuguese Crown.
