Resumo: | At the end of the eighteenth century, the accounts of naturalists revealed other descriptions of the nature and territoriality of Northern captaincies, many of which were unknown or at least ill-known. Often under the patronage of the Crown, the traditional scene carried out by the sugar plantation was restored by more layers of memory and knowledge in the style of Illustration, guided by the new demands that were presented. It has also passed from an idealized America, oscillating between the earthly paradise and the place of damnation, to a scientific and utilitarian reading of nature. It was in this context that emblematic characters such as Bento Bandeira de Melo and Manoel de Arruda Câmara crossed the captaincies of the North and registered what the saw, repositioning the relation between nature and culture, although without abandoning the usual utilitarianism. In an approach that approximates the geography of power and political and environmental histories, the article also discusses these accounts of nature as symptoms of a disputed regionality in the field of local identities in the North of the State of Brazil, particularly the grooves and discontinuities imposed on the secular capitality of Recife. |

Muitas vezes sob o mecenato da Coroa, a tradicional cena protagonizada pelo canavial foi sendo recomposta por mais camadas de memória e conhecimento à moda da ilustração, encaminhadas pelas novas demandas que se apresentavam. Também se passou de uma América idealizada, oscilante entre o paraíso terreal e o lugar da danação da humanidade, para uma descrição pretensamente “científica” e utilitarista dos territórios. Foi nesse contexto que emblemáticas personagens como Bento Bandeira de Melo e Manoel de Arruda Câmara percorreram as capitanias do Norte e registraram o que viram, revelando como a diacronia natureza-cultura foi reposicionada pela chamada geração de 1790, que concluíra pela necessária transformação nas formas de produzir e utilizar os recursos naturais. Numa abordagem que aproxima a geografia do poder e a história das paisagens, o artigo também discute esses relatos da natureza como sintomas de uma regionalidade disputada no campo das identidades locais no Norte do Estado do Brasil, particularmente as ranhuras e descontinuidades impostas a secular capitalidade política e comercial do Recife.UFRGS2019-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/8356410.22456/1983-201X.83564Anos 90; Vol. 26 (2019); 1-21Anos 90; v. 26 (2019); 1-211983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/83564/53499Copyright (c) 2019 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChaves Júnior, José Inaldo2020-02-14T22:57:03Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/83564Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2020-02-14T22:57:03Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
