“…Bis 1808 war allen Ausländern der Aufenthalt in der portugiesischen Kolonie grundsätzlich verboten gewesen, was nicht zuletzt Alexander von Humboldt daran gehindert hatte, das Land zu erkunden. Allein zu Versorgungszwecken hatten ausländische Schiffe in Rio einen Zwischenstopp einlegen dürfen; in zahlreichen Reiseberichten beschweren sich die wenigen Besatzungsmitglieder, die in solchen Fällen an Land gehen durften, über die kontinuierliche Überwachung, der sie dort ausgesetzt waren (Domingues 2013). Nach der Öffnung der Häfen für die befreundeten Nationen, die im Rahmen der Übersiedlung des portugiesischen Hofes erfolgte, wurde die Überwachung auf einer umfassenderen Ebene fortgesetzt.…”

In 1808, Portugal's royal court fled from Napoleon's forces and resettled in Rio de Janeiro. Within a very short time, the city's population grew rapidly while it also had to meet the demands of a European royal capital. This situation fostered two different security discourses. On the one hand, there was a discourse, also widespread throughout much of Europe, on the threat posed by mostly foreign revolutionaries. But, as this contribution shows, on the other hand, there was a telling silence about potentially insurgent black people. This silence was only broken once they became the target of repression by the public security apparatus and more and more frequently struggled to establish their rights (and thus their security). However, the abolition of slavery in 1888 intensified racism, which once again became covered by public silence -a silence that willfully ignored the difference constituted by this very racism and thus continued to obstruct security for the black population.

“…De igual modo, holandeses, franceses, ingleses e espanhóis empreenderam continuadas viagens e estudos de reconhecimento territorial e viagens científicas por suas colônias. 33 Tais aspectos, por sua vez, podem ser pensados em associação com a articulação de conhecimentos e incentivos no campo das práticas científicas. 34 Motivado por interesses políticos, econômicos e acadêmicos, é notável o aumento do interesse da Coroa portuguesa em ampliar seus conhecimentos sobre as colônias.…”

RESUMO O médico António Nunes Ribeiro Sanches (1699-1782) é amplamente conhecido pela sua participação ativa nos processos de reforma do ensino em Portugal durante o século XVIII. Suas conexões com a Coroa e sua extensa rede de contatos favoreciam que o seu pensamento circulasse entre diversos grupos de indivíduos letrados. Sua atividade intelectual foi intensa a partir da segunda metade do século XVIII, em um período marcado pelo aumento do interesse da Coroa portuguesa em conhecer as potencialidades naturais de suas colônias ultramarinas. Foram muitas as políticas voltadas para processos de reconhecimento e construção de conhecimento sobre o Mundo Natural, e estes processos, em grande medida, impulsionaram a produção científica do período, da qual Ribeiro Sanches não esteve alheio. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é verificar em que medida tais preocupações também estiveram presentes em seus escritos.

This article examines the ways in which the perception of Rio de Janeiro's drinking water contributed to shaping the city's hydric management in colonial and imperial times. Even though the general assessment of climate and vegetation changed from paradisiacal to noxious in the second half of the eighteenth century in accordance with Enlightenment ideas, this had no effect on the locals’ appreciation of the city's drinking water. The criteria for evaluating the quality and quantity of available water were based on works from classical antiquity and remained essentially unchanged from early colonial times to the end of the empire. Not even population growth and increasing susceptibility to epidemics in the nineteenth century induced the authorities to reform the water supply system, as they were confident that the city was provided with good and abundant water by virtue of its natural predisposition.
