Abstract(s)
As comunidades protestantes surgem em Portugal fundamentalmente a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, constituindo nas décadas seguintes uma rede capital desuniforme e pouco estruturada, mas com uma certa disseminação territorial. Tal rede baseou-se em sociabilidade de vária ordem, mas fundamentalmente em núcleos familiares. Embora se tenham constituído um pouco mais tarde do que a generalidade das denominações protestantes históricas, as igrejas batistas, que se começam a expandir a partir dos anos 1910, seguiram a lógica dos seus predecessores. Partindo de um estudo de caso, relativo à existência das igrejas batistas de Viseu e de Tondela num período de tempo limitado (1930-1945), procura-se perceber a natureza e a abundância das relações familiares no seio de tais comunidades. Para tal, recorreu-se à publicação periódica O semeador Baptista como fonte principal, aplicando aos dados recolhidos a metodologia de análise de redes sociais, muito usada atualmente em áreas tão diversas como a sociologia, a psicologia social, a antropologia, e também a história, nomeadamente nos estudos do período contemporâneo.
Protestant communities developed in Portugal essentially from the second half of the 19th century, establishing in the following decades a non-uniform and poorly structured capillary network, yet with a considerable territorial dissemination. Such a network was based in different types of sociabilities, but fundamentally in family units. Although Baptist churches, which began to expand from 1910s onwards, were created a little later than the other historical Protestant denominations, they followed the logic of their predecessors. Using as a case study the life of the Baptist churches of Viseu and Tondela, during a limited period (1930-1945), we seek to perceive the nature and abundance of family relations within these communities. To this purpose, we used the periodical O Semeador Baptista as the main source, applying to the collected data the methodology of Social Network Analysis, which is very often employed in diverse fields such as Sociology, Social Psychology, Anthropology, and in History, particularly in the studies of the contemporary period.
