Title in Portuguese
O arroz colonial no reformismo ilustrado português (1750-1808)
Keywords in Portuguese
Arroz
Ilustração
Império português
Mercado global
Rizicultura
Abstract in Portuguese
É importante compreender quais fatores explicam o sucesso do cultivo comercial de arroz em terreno luso-americano em fins do século XVIII. Da mesma forma, relacionar a isso o surgimento de diversos textos reformistas dedicados à agronomia no mesmo período. Afinal, o arroz fez parte daquele movimento amplo de diversificação produtiva ocorrido em fins do século XVIII no império português e a pauta de exportações da colônia luso-americana denotou o sucesso do cultivo comercial do cereal. É necessário entender o espaço aberto ao cultivo comercial do artigo tendo em conta as dinâmicas do mercado global e as vicissitudes dos planos reformistas da Coroa portuguesa. Ademais, o mesmo contexto que abriu margem para essa transformação produtiva criou um ambiente de discussão e possibilitou a escrita de diversos textos reformistas dedicados à agricultura e à rizicultura coloniais. Para compreender a gênese dessas duas mudanças, uma produtiva e outra relacionada às ideias reformistas, estudamos a configuração do mercado de arroz durante boa parte do século XVIII e as transformações no pensamento econômico luso do período. Depois, com vistas a avaliar os resultados, foi analisada a prática rizicultora em algumas regiões da América lusa, bem como foi empreendida a análise daqueles textos agronômicos que buscaram reinventar, sem sucesso, a realidade produtiva luso-americana.
Title in English
The colonial rice in the Portuguese enlightened reforms (1750-1808)
Keywords in English
Enlightenment

Portuguese America

Riziculture
Abstract in English
This dissertation aims to understand which factors established the commercial rice cultivation in Portuguese America at the end of the eighteenth century. At the same time, it connects that development to reformists writings about agriculture issued in Portugal at the same period. Indeed rice was among the many commodities which constituted the Portuguese Empire' late eighteenth century movement of productive diversification. The colony's export records show successful commercial cultivation of the crop in American soil. We aim to understand such transformation in light of the development of global rice markets dynamics and the impact of Enlightened Reformations on it. Moreover, those conditions also meant the rise of intellectual disputes on riziculture through a variety of writings on this crop and agriculture. To evaluate these transformations, we analyze the organization of riziculture in some parts of Portuguese America at the end of the century and those writings which tried to remodel the rice production with almost no success. Those two changes, one related to production and the other to reformists texts, are understood through some analysis of the rice market during the 18th century and the shifts in the Portuguese economic thinking.
