v anglickém jazyce The study of sources related to the folk provenance is often in terms of the Czech historiography a neglected issue. Especially the research of folk chronicles has reached the utmost boom in the middle of the nineteenth century and then also in the interwar years. Nowadays, the study does not attract much attention. Therefore, the aim of this work is to capture and systematize the existing knowledge on this subject. Moreover, it is necessary to emphasize and show some other possibilities of dealing with these particular sources because they are valuable work for contemporary historiographical studies such as microhistorical and cultural anthropological research. Although one might think that these annals have rather a small informative value for the traditional political historical events, they offer an interesting insight into everyday life of ordinary people living in the countryside those days. This fact can definitely help one understand traditions as it also represents tendencies and trends in attitudes and behaviour of the rural society those days. The main purpose of the thesis is to consider what motivated folk authors to note down their stories and experience in chronicles. The alarming fact is that the post-war historiography has caused a lot of confusion over the true...

Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / Studies of magical practices and popular religiosities have revealed important facets of modern miscegenation. The bolsas de mandinga, one of the numerous magic instruments of protection, congregated elements and experiences of social and cultural universes disparate, fruit of religious atlantic dynamics. The processes of comprehension, elaboration and commercialization of these amulets were not as directs and revealed, because of the repressor activities of religious instances, which scoured the Portuguese overseas in search of the devil affronts to Catholic Christianity, made through the variable heterodoxies that drew in overseas. In this sense, we trace as objective to undertake a micro analysis of what we treat, while production of development processes, through documentary information, focusing on the predilection by the insertion of consecrated hosts inside the bolsas de mandinga, attentive, yet, to the motivations, contexts, experiences and understandings of involved subjects. We use a large body of documents, with a clear qualitative option, especially the inquisitorial files. We elected the written narrative in Dilig?ncias sobre o caso do desacato e sacril?gio cometido na igreja paroquial de S?o Pedro do Monte Moritiba, na Ba?a, concerning the Bahian Reconcavo, in the first half of 18th century, as the backbone of our proposal. Crossed the information present in our sources, through the evidentiary framework proposed by Carlo Ginzburg, and soaked by theoretical proposals of micro studies and trajectories, we seek to understand the religious creolization processes in Bahian Reconcavo eighteenth century. The small fragments collected through the coppery documentary lines show us how the everyday life of investigated subjects measured their spiritual universe, allowing the elaborations, called here Feituras de Prote??o. / Os estudos das pr?ticas m?gicas e religiosidades populares t?m revelado importantes facetas das mesti?agens modernas. As bolsas de mandinga, um dos in?meros instrumentos m?gicos de prote??o, congregavam elementos e experi?ncias de universos sociais e culturais d?spares, fruto das din?micas religiosas atl?nticas. Os processos de compreens?o, elabora??o e comercializa??o destes amuletos n?o eram t?o diretos e revelados, por contadas atividades repressoras das inst?ncias religiosas, que vasculhavam o ultramar luso em busca das ?afrontas do dem?nio? ao cristianismo cat?lico, feitas atrav?s das vari?veis heterodoxias que se desenhavam no al?m mar.Neste sentido, tra?amos enquanto objetivo empreenderuma micro an?lise do que tratamos enquanto processos de feituras de prote??o, atrav?s das informa??es documentais, ao enfocarmos a predile??o pela inser??o de h?stias consagradas no interior das bolsas de mandinga, atentos, ainda, ?s motiva??es, contextos, experi?ncias e entendimentos dos sujeitos envolvidos.Utilizamos um vasto corpo documental, com clara op??o qualitativa, especialmente dos arquivos inquisitoriais. Elegemos a narrativa grafada nas Dilig?ncias sobre o caso do desacato e sacril?gio cometido na igreja paroquial de S?o Pedro do Monte de Moritiba, na Ba?a, referente ao Rec?ncavo baiano, na primeira metade do s?culo XVIII, como espinha dorsal de nossa proposta. Ao cruzarmos informa??es presentes em nossas fontes, atrav?s do referencial indici?rio proposto por Carlo Ginzburg, e embebidos pelas propostas te?ricas de estudos micros e trajet?rias, buscamos entender os processos de criouliza??o religiosa no Rec?ncavo baiano setecentista. Os pequenos fragmentos coletados por entre as acobreadas linhas documentais nos revelaram como a vida cotidiana dos sujeitos investigados dimensionava o universo espiritual dos mesmos, permitindo as elabora??es que chamamos aqui de feituras de prote??o.
