Resumo: | The historiography of urbanization in colonial Brazil has largely focused on towns and cities rather than other types of settlements that fulfilled different roles. Localities, camps, chapels, parishes, townships, hamlets, indigenous villages, missionary settlements, landings, passages, barriers, farms and ranches, corrals and fortresses have been overshadowed by a rarefied network of towns and cities. Nor has this historiography examined the multifaceted web of routes between clusters , such as the rivers and waterways, highways and byways, and trails that facilitated or hindered interregional traffic and contacts across obstructive and pluralistic physical geography that even today characterizes our diverse cultural landscape. A series of maps are used to reweave a mesh that had been lost in time; contemporary IT resources enable more detailed quantitative studies that will surely underpin a more detailed qualitative focus on everyday dynamics and practices, the timing and distances involved in journeys between localities, difficulties for contact, varying flows of watercourses, barriers imposed by topography and vegetation, or by human groups, rest-overs and tolls, etc. An overview of certain maps may reconcile notions such as "network" and "urban" in colonial Brazil by analyzing general aspects and regional specificities, varying scales, modalities and temporalities, thus posing new hypotheses about settlement and mobility in the historical process of occupying and exploring colonial territory. Studies of this nature undertaken by new researcher cohorts may help answer the question posed by this article: to what extent was Brazil’s colonization more urban and less archipelagic than it appeared to be at first sight? |

Lugares, arraiais, capelas, freguesias, julgados, bairros rurais, aldeias indígenas, aldeamentos missioneiros, pousos, registros, passagens, barreiras, fazendas, sítios, currais e fortalezas ficaram obscurecidos em meio à rarefeita rede de vilas e cidades. A historiografia tampouco deu atenção à natureza da multifacetada teia de comunicação que articulava esses núcleos – rios, córregos, veredas, trilhas, caminhos e calçadas – que permitiam ou dificultavam fluxos e contatos interregionais, em meio à difícil e plural geografia física e humana que até hoje caracteriza as nossas diversas paisagens culturais. Uma série de mapas presta-se de maneira exemplar à reconstituição de uma trama perdida no tempo, por meio de recursos de informática contemporâneos, propiciando estudos quantitativos mais pormenorizados que certamente fundamentarão um olhar qualitativo mais minucioso com foco nas dinâmicas e práticas cotidianas, no ritmo das viagens, na distância entre as localidades, nas dificuldades de contato, no fluxo dos rios, nas barreiras impostas pela topografia e a vegetação ou por grupos humanos, nos pontos de paragem para descanso e pedágio, etc. A visão de conjunto propiciada pelo exame de certos mapas permite assim reconceituar noções como a de “rede” e de “urbano” no Brasil-Colônia, analisando aspectos gerais e especificidades regionais, as diversas escalas, modalidades e temporalidades, propiciando novas hipóteses sobre enraizamento e mobilidade no processo histórico de ocupação e devassamento do território colonial. Estudos dessa natureza realizados por uma nova safra de autores podem assim nos ajudar a responder a pergunta que orienta este artigo: em que medida a colonização do Brasil foi mais urbana e menos arquipelágica do que parecia à primeira vista?Universidade Estadual de Campinas2017-09-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Históricaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/labore/article/view/864955610.20396/labore.v11i3.8649556Labor e Engenho; Vol. 11 No. 3 (2017): jul./set.; 242-262Labor e Engenho; Vol. 11 Núm. 3 (2017): jul./set.; 242-262Labor e Engenho; v. 11 n. 3 (2017): jul./set.; 242-2622176-8846reponame:Labor & Engenho (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/labore/article/view/8649556/16694Copyright (c) 2017 Labor e Engenhoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBueno, Beatriz Piccolotto Siqueira2017-09-28T11:06:22Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8649556Revistahttp://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/laborePUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/labore/oai||argollo@fec.unicamp.br2176-88461981-1152opendoar:2017-09-28T11:06:22Labor & Engenho (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false |

The historiography of urbanization in colonial Brazil has largely focused on towns and cities rather than other types of settlements that fulfilled different roles. Localities, camps, chapels, parishes, townships, hamlets, indigenous villages, missionary settlements, landings, passages, barriers, farms and ranches, corrals and fortresses have been overshadowed by a rarefied network of towns and cities. Nor has this historiography examined the multifaceted web of routes between clusters , such as the rivers and waterways, highways and byways, and trails that facilitated or hindered interregional traffic and contacts across obstructive and pluralistic physical geography that even today characterizes our diverse cultural landscape. A series of maps are used to reweave a mesh that had been lost in time; contemporary IT resources enable more detailed quantitative studies that will surely underpin a more detailed qualitative focus on everyday dynamics and practices, the timing and distances involved in journeys between localities, difficulties for contact, varying flows of watercourses, barriers imposed by topography and vegetation, or by human groups, rest-overs and tolls, etc. An overview of certain maps may reconcile notions such as "network" and "urban" in colonial Brazil by analyzing general aspects and regional specificities, varying scales, modalities and temporalities, thus posing new hypotheses about settlement and mobility in the historical process of occupying and exploring colonial territory. Studies of this nature undertaken by new researcher cohorts may help answer the question posed by this article: to what extent was Brazil’s colonization more urban and less archipelagic than it appeared to be at first sight? |
