Abstract(s)
Com este estudo pretende-se observar a existência e a mundividência de Francisco Barbosa, que nasceu em meados do século XVI no seio de uma família do campesinato. Oriundo do meio rural, de famílias do 3º Estado do norte de Portugal, conheceu vários continentes (de Portugal ao Brasil, passando por África e Flandres). Acabou por se dedicar, em determinada fase da vida, à peregrinação jacobeia. O seu percurso foi marcado por dois vetores fundamentais: religião e império. A pretexto de se estudar a vivência e pensamento de Barbosa, pretende-se conhecer aspectos ligados à mundividência dos estratos populares, de famílias camponesas, que por norma são secundarizados pela historiografia em detrimento das elites ou instituições.
This paper intends to study the life and thoughts of Francisco Barbosa, who was born in the middle of the 16th century, in the midst of a peasantry family, in the rural areas of northern Portugal. He visited several continents having many different occupations, from Portugal to Brazil, passing through Africa and Flanders. At a certain stage in his life, he ended up dedicating himself to the Jacobean pilgrimage. His life path was determined by two fundamental vectors: religion and empire. Under the pretext of studying Barbosa’s existence, it is our aim to unveil aspects connected to the worldview of popular social strata, more specifically those of peasant families, which are usually understated by historiography in detriment of elites or institutions.
