ABSTRACT

Resumo Com a perda da maioria de suas conquistas para os neerlandeses, o Oriente português ficou reduzido a feitorias residuais, e o Brasil passou a ocupar o centro das atenções nas políticas coloniais. Assim, no século XVIII, a Coroa portuguesa não demonstrou grandes interesses em desenvolver o conhecimento autônomo da natureza do Oriente. Tais interesses se apresentavam vinculados a propósitos de reconfigurar a economia das colônias brasileiras. Ganhava corpo o intuito de aclimatar no Brasil espécies orientais de interesse econômico, como a pimenta-da-índia, a noz-moscada, a canela, o cravo, a teca e o sândalo, propósito que não foi imediatamente bem-sucedido. O artigo acompanha essa tentativa de estender ao Oriente a rede científica portuguesa e o processo de transplantação de espécies.


Abstract As Portugal lost most of its conquests to the Dutch, Portuguese East Asia was reduced to the remaining trading posts (feitorias) and Brazil became the center of attention for colonial policies. Consequently, during the eighteenth century the Portuguese crown did not express greater interest in developing native Eastern knowledge of nature. These interests were tied to goals involving reconfiguration of the economy of the Brazilian colonies. The idea to cultivate economically important Eastern species such as pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, teak, and sandalwood in Brazil took shape, but was not immediately successful. This article examines this attempt to extend Portugal's scientific network to the East, as well as the process of transplanting these species.
