resumoA historiografia recente sobre o Brasil colônia tem destruído diversos mitos que herdamos de nossos clássicos, como a noção de autarquia do latifúndio e a de uma acumulação exclusivamente endógena. Hoje é consenso que existiam redes internas de circulação de mercadorias e de acumulação, fortemente ancoradas em redes de crédito/endividamento. A maior parte dos estudos disponíveis sobre o tema aborda as nossas principais praças comerciais, em especial a do Rio de Janeiro. O presente artigo tenta perceber como um pequeno lugar periférico, como a vila de Curitiba, integrava-se a essas redes, a partir da análise de uma fonte inesperada: os termos de audiência dos juízes ordinários da vila. A predominância de processos referentes à cobrança de dívidas permite que sejam visualizados alguns aspectos dessa trama creditícia trançada no centro-sul da colônia.

abstractRecent historiography on colonial Brazil has destroyed several myths inherited from classic works, such as the notion of large properties functioning in an autarchic way, or the exclusively endogenous accumulation of capital. It is consensual now a days that there were internal networks of merchandise and accumulation strongly anchored in credit/debt networks. The vast majority of studies available on the theme focused the main commercial cities, Rio de Janeiro in particular. This article tries to assess how a small, peripheral place such as the village of Curitiba was integrated in such networks, from the analysis of an unexpected source: the minutes of the village ordinary judges' audiences. The predominance of processes referring to debts overdue allows us to see some aspects of the credit threads put together in the southern part of the Brazilian colony.

This article aims to analyze the pertussis outbreak that struck Paranaguá, a Brazilian port city located on the coast of the Paraná Province and the impact that this outbreak had on the local infant mortality in the period. This outbreak affected children between zero and eight years of age with one single exception. The analysis was based on data from the death records of the parish of Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Paranaguá. As a method of comparison, infant mortality during the outbreak was analyzed, separating deaths from pertussis and deaths from other causes and also comparing mortality during the outbreak with mortality from periods before and after it. This study allows us to better understand the causes of infant mortality in the city of Paranaguá in the middle of the 19th century.
