| Sumario: | This text analyses the practices of representation of the King's power and of the Portuguese State in Minas Gerais during the first half of the 18th century, as a reinforcement of mechanisms which aimed to the submission and control of the mining society. The notion that the metropolitan settling process in the region was permeated by the Crown's attempt to establish identification links between settlers and colonized people, was essential for this work. The sharing of codes and values between settlers and colonized shifted to duplicate in the Colony a society established in the very theological and political presupposition of a State, conceived as the body of a mystic monarchy, a Church as an extension of the Crown, and the monarchy as a sacred entity. The Portuguese State of the 18th century embidied that political theology, based on neo-scholastic texts of the 16th-18th centuries, where Catholic politics was regarded as an instrument of legitimacy the dominate the overseas people, along with the general notion that the spreading of the Catholic faith in the world was a mission entrusted to the Portuguese nation. |
