The distant king, the paper empire and the reverse New World:
Portuguese government, 17th and 18th centuries
ABSTRACT: With the diffusion of writing and the erudite culture the Modern Age witnessed the beginning of paper monarchies. Political speeches, government projects, and administrative reports circulated trough a relational network with letters exchange, linking the king to his possessions. However, the management of the Portuguese seaborne empire was indirectly through a vast system of representation with positions and functions, and especially overseas, the distance and the small powers administered by the local councils gave very specific features to the royal sovereignty and to the legislative purposes. The paper analyzes this curious phenomenon under the prism of two of these posts in the Lusitanian administration.
El rey lejano, el imperio de papel y el Nuevo Mundo al revés: luso gobierno, siglos XVII-XVIII RESUMEN: Con la difusión de la escritura y la cultura erudita la Edad Moderna vio surgir verdaderas monarquías de papel. Discursos políticos, proyectos de gobierno e informes administrativos circularon por una intrincada red relacional centrada en intenso cambio de cartas, uniendo El-Rey y sus posesiones. Sin embargo, la gestión del imperio portugués se le dio forma indirecta, a través de un vasto sistema de representación con cargos y funciones y, especialmente en América, la distancia y las pequeñas potencias administradas por las Cámaras Municipales dieron características muy específicas a la soberanía real y a los fines legislativos. El artículo analiza este curioso fenómeno bajo el prisma de dos de esos cargos de la administración lusitana.
