Comércio, bens de prestígio e insígnias de poder: as agências centro-ocidentais africanas nos relatos de viagem de Henrique de Carvalho em sua expedição à Lunda (1884-1888) / Trade, prestige goods and insignias of power: African western central agencies in the travel writings of Henrique de Carvalho on his expedition to Lunda (1884-1888).

Ao longo da segunda metade do século XIX, a região da África Centro-Ocidental foi palco do processo de intensificação de expedições europeias rumo ao interior do continente que conjugavam interesses econômicos, políticos e científicos. Esta pesquisa busca analisar o papel de relevo ocupado pela cultura material na agenda científica da expedição portuguesa à Lunda chefiada pelo militar português Henrique de Carvalho entre 1884 e 1888. Pretendemos também avaliar as potencialidades que o estudo sobre os objetos apresentam enquanto fontes para a compreensão mais ampla acerca das agências históricas africanas. Para tanto, selecionamos as obras Descripção da Viagem à Mussumba do Muatiânvua (1890-1894) e Ethnographia e História Tradicional dos Povos da Lunda (1890) e, de maneira complementar, o Album da Expedição ao Muatianvua (1887) e o catálogo Collecção Henrique de Carvalho (Expedição à Lunda), editado pela Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa (1896). Assim, pela ótica da história social, pretendemos investigar como as exigências e predileções centro-africanas por determinados artigos moldaram as relações comerciais travadas nesse período, abordando os processos de incorporação e ressignificação de objetos particularmente, bens de prestígio e insígnias de poder - interpretados como expressões de identidades, códigos sociais e hierarquias políticas no âmbito dessas sociedades e de suas relações com os europeus. / During the second half of the nineteenth century, West-Central Africa was the stage of an intensification of European expeditions that channeled economic, political and scientific interests towards the continents interior. The following study intends to analyze the important role occupied by material culture in the scientific agenda of the portuguese expedition to the Lunda headed by military leader Henrique de Carvalho between 1884 and 1888. We also intend to evaluate the potential that the study of such objects provide like sources for a broader understanding about African agencies historical. For this purpose, we selected the works Descripção da Viagem à Mussumba do Muatiânvua (1890-1894) and Ethnographia e História Tradicional dos Povos da Lunda (1890) and in a complementary way, the Album da Expedição ao Muatianvua (1887) and Collecção Henrique de Carvalho (Expedição à Lunda), published by the Geographical Society of Lisbon (1896). Thus, from the perspective of social history, we intend to investigate how the requirements and predilections manifested in Central-African societies for certain items shaped the commercial relationships established during this period. We also address the process of the incorporation and resignification of objects - particularly prestige goods and insignia of power and how material culture can be interpreted as identity expressions, social codes and political hierarchies within those societies and their relations with the Europeans.

Portugais, Néerlandais et Africains en Angola aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles : construction d'un espace colonial / The Portuguese, Dutch and Africans in Angola during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries : the making of a colonial territory

Demaret, Mathieu 06 February 2016 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est de s'interroger sur la nature de la présence portugaise en Angola au 16e et au 17e siècles. Cette période correspond au début de l'essor du commerce transatlantique des esclaves dans l'Atlantique sud. Nous insistons sur les spécificités de cette présence : premièrement, nous mettons l'accent sur son caractère territorial, par opposition à la plupart des autres régions d'Afrique où la présence européenne s'est limitée à l'établissement de comptoirs commerciaux sur la côte ; deuxièmement, nous accordons une importance particulière à la rivalité luso-néerlandaise qui s'est déroulée dans la première moitié du 17e siècle et qui a correspondu à un des premiers affrontements territoriaux inter-européens en Afrique sub-saharienne. Dans les quatre premiers chapitres, qui recouvrent la période allant de 1483 – date de l'arrivée des Portugais à l'embouchure du Congo – à 1671 – date de la victoire décisive des Portugais sur le Ndongo pour le contrôle de l'hinterland de Luanda – , nous abordons la question de l'espace colonial. Il s'agit d'analyser les étapes de la formation de cet espace en nous centrant sur les interactions entre les différents pouvoirs politiques, aussi bien africains qu'européens. Nous nous intéressons ainsi aux efforts de délimitation spatiale de la part des pouvoirs coloniaux, conséquence aussi bien de la présence physique des agents coloniaux que de la production d'un savoir géographique. Dans le cinquième et dernier chapitre, nous mettons l'accent sur l'émergence de la nouvelle société que nous qualifions de coloniale, en analysant les caractéristiques et des dynamiques sociales des agents qui la composent. / This thesis aims to question the nature of the Portuguese presence in Angola during the 16th and 17th centuries, a period which corresponds to the rise of the transatlantic slave trade in the South Atlantic Ocean. We pay particular attention to the distinctive features of the Portuguese presence: firstly, we insist on its territorial nature, that differentiates it from other African areas where Europeans went no further than setting up trading posts on the coastline; secondly, we focus on the Luso-Dutch rivalry that took place during the first half of the 17th century, leading to one of the first intra-European confrontations on sub-Sahara African soil. The first four chapters address the question of the colonial territory: they cover the period from 1483, when the Portuguese reached the mouth of the Congo River, to 1671, date of the decisive Portuguese victory over the Ndongo kingdom for the control of the Luanda hinterland. We analyse the stages in the formation of this territory by focusing on the interactions between African and European political powers. This focus leads us to take a special interest in the colonial powers' attempts at delimiting the colonial territory, a delimitation based on both the action of the colonial agents and the production of new geographical knowledge. In the fifth and final chapter, we analyse the social dynamics and characteristics of the agents that constitute what we see as a new emerging colonial society.
