Abstract(s)
Este artigo pretende apresentar-se como uma leitura historiográfica renovada do fenómeno inquisitorial. Partindo de uma discussão das considerações historiográficas e terminológicas que foram desenvolvidas desde as últimas décadas do século passado, propomo-nos abordar vários aspetos desta questão: o carácter “medieval” do ofício da inquisitio; o papel desempenhado pelo Papado na criação desta instituição jurídica e a sua posterior utilização numa perspetiva “universalista”; o desenvolvimento dos sistemas inquisitoriais modernos e as suas relações e interações. Isto permitir-nos-á centrar no que se pretende ser a espinha dorsal desta proposta historiográfica, ou seja, a análise do impacto exercido pela(s) Inquisição(ões) nas distintas sociedades de Antigo Regime, dos estados europeus aos seus territórios coloniais, considerando, para isso, as complexas relações existentes no interior dos três sistemas inquisitoriais aqui em apreço. Nesta perspetiva, queremos sublinhar a importância de uma investigação conjunta dos diversos quadros sociais, mas também dos grupos de poder que se constituem à sombra da instituição. Tudo isto, juntamente com uma profunda atenção aos diferentes graus de relações e perceções geradas quotidianamente pela máquina inquisitorial nas sociedades.

This will allow us to focus on analyzing the impact of the Inquisition(s) on the different societies of the Ancien Regime, from the European states to their colonial territories, including the complex relationships between the three inquisitorial systems. We stress the importance of integrated investigation of the various social frameworks, but also of the power groups that formed under the auspices of the institution and with attention to the varying degrees of relations as well as perceptions generated by the inquisitorial machine within societies.
