Redes comerciais
Abstract in Portuguese
Nesta tese estudamos as redes de comércio compostas pelos cristãos novos portugueses em um período particular da Época Moderna: durante a União Ibérica (1580-1640). Na primeira parte do trabalho conectamos as redes de comércio com duas problemáticas: a da identidade cristã nova e a da relação ente cristãos novos, Inquisição e Coroa espanhola. Nesse sentido, salientamos as estratégias dos homens de negócios e cristãos novos portugueses frente às tensões geradas pela perseguição inquisitorial e os estatutos de limpeza de sangue. Na segunda parte do trabalho estudamos um caso exemplar das conexões e tensões mencionadas acima: a história da rede familiar de António Fernandes dElvas, homem de negócio e cristãos novo português, mercador e traficante de escravos, que atuava no Mundo Ibérico, em especial no comércio ultramarino. Nesta tese consideramos que havia uma relação de reciprocidade entre a identidade cristã nova influenciava na organização dos cristãos novos em redes de comércio e essas, por sua vez, que reforçavam a identidade.

Abstract in English
This thesis focuses on the Portuguese New Christians commercial networks in a specific period of the Modern Ages: the Iberian Union (1580-1640). The first part of this work connects the trade networks with two major issues: the new Christian identity, and the relationship between New Christians, the Inquisition and the Spanish Crown. Accordingly, the study emphasizes the strategies of businessmen and Portuguese New Christians in face of the tensions generated by inquisitorial persecution and the statutes of "purity of blood". The second part of this work analyzes an exemplary case of the connections and tensions above mentioned: the story of António Fernandes d'Elvas and his family network. A business man and Portuguese New Christian, dElvas was a merchant and slave trader in the Iberian world, especially in overseas trade. This thesis considers that there was a reciprocal relationship between the New Christian identity and the organization of New Christians trade networks, in which the identity influenciated the organization of the trades and the trades reinforced the identity.
