Abstract(s)
A dissertação que aqui apresentamos versa a temática do exercício do poder pelas elites
locais bejenses e o seu condicionamento pelo poder senhorial/central.
Este desiderato é alcançado através da análise dos processos eleitorais, abrangendo um
período que se estende desde a segunda metade do século XVII até ao final do século
XVIII, mais precisamente entre 1654 e 1786.
Foi nosso objetivo, também, analisar sincronicamente a presença e a ação das elites locais
em três dos principais palcos do poder autárquico e municipal: a Câmara, a Misericórdia
e as Ordenanças.
Desta análise resultou a identificação dos indivíduos que protagonizaram o poder
camarário e municipal, entre 1749 e 1786, e a sua inserção em redes familiares, o que
permitiu construir um esboço da realidade social das elites locais de Beja durante este
período, complementada a montante e a jusante em termos cronológicos, numa tentativa
de apreender as movimentações das famílias que compartilhavam o poder, no tempo
longo do período em estudo. Esta análise permitiu, também, identificar as estratégias de
poder utilizadas pelas principais famílias da cidade de Beja, que vão desde as práticas
endogâmicas dos casamentos até à ocupação sistemática dos lugares e dos espaços das
instituições políticas e administrativas do município.
A dissertação analisa, ainda, a acção dos oficiais senhoriais e centrais junto da população
da cidade de Beja, assim como no interior da Câmara.
The dissertation we present here focus on the thematic of the exercise of power by Beja local elites and its conditioning by the manorial/central power, in power centralization logic. This desideratum is pursued through the analysis of the electoral processes embracing the last half of the 17th century until the end of the 18th century. We also pretend to analyse synchronically the presence and the action of the local elites on three of the main autarchic and municipal stages: the Câmara (municipality), the Misericórdia and the Ordenanças. The result of this analysis was the identification of the individuals who featured the power of the camera and the municipal one in the second half of the 18th century (1749-1786) and their inclusion in family networks, which allowed building a sketch of the social reality of Beja local elites during this period, complemented both upstream and downstream, in an attempt of apprehending the movements of the families who share the power, along the history, as a true oligarchy. This analysis allowed us to identify the strategies of power used by the main families in the city of Beja, “head” of the House and State of the Infantado, which go from endogamy weddings practices to the systematic occupation of the places and spaces in the political and municipal administrative institutions, assuming themselves as the true politician elites. The dissertation also analyses the action of the manorial officials and from the central power amongst the city of Beja as well as in the interior of the city hall.
