Este artigo revisita os primórdios da emigração portuguesa para a Ilha do Desterro, no século xviii, hoje Florianópolis, capital do Estado de Santa Catarina, da república federativa do Brasil. Procura-se demonstrar, através de fontes primárias, a diversidade das origens dos povoadores europeus deste território no quadro de um movimento de transferências de grupos populacionais promovido pela coroa portuguesa. Procura-se complexificar a proveniência destes proto-emigrantes portugueses, que simplificadamente ficaram na memória histórica como sendo apenas provindos do arquipélago dos Açores. As fontes históricas aqui reveladas permitem observar a chegada e fixação neste território do sul do Brasil de contingentes de povoadores vindos não só dos Açores, mas também, em número equiparado, do arquipélago da Madeira. Este estudo permite também rever criticamente a transferência e aculturação de algumas tradições para este território, nomeadamente as Festas do Espírito Santos, que a historiografia tradicional atribuía apenas aos açorianos que ali se instalaram, mas que agora, pela verificação comparada das especificidades destas festas, poderão ter primeiramente inspiração madeirense, onde também existiam e ainda se cultivam, atualmente, ritualidades associadas ao culto da Espírito Santo Paráclito.
This article revisits the early stages of Portuguese emigration to the Island of Desterro in the eighteenth century—today Flori-anópolis, capital of the State of Santa Catarina in the Federative Republic of Brazil. Through primary sources, it seeks to demonstrate the diverse origins of the European settlers of this territory within the broader context of population transfers promoted by the Portuguese crown. The aim is to provide a more nuanced understanding of the provenance of these proto-emigrants, who have been simplistically remembered in historical memory as having come solely from the Azores archipelago. The historical sources presented here reveal the arrival and settlement in this southern Brazilian territory of groups of settlers not only from the Azores but also, in comparable numbers, from the Madeira archipelago. This study also critically reassesses the transfer and acculturation of certain traditions to this region—particularly the Festas do Espírito Santo (Holy Spirit Festivals) — which traditional historiography attributed exclusively to the Azoreans who settled there. A comparative examination of the specific characteristics of these festivi-ties now suggests that they may have had an initial Madeiran inspiration, as similar ritual practices associated with the cult of the Holy Spirit Paraclete also existed, and continue to exist today, in Madeira.
