Apos a reconquista portuguesa, a religiao judaica voltou a ser proibida e aos seus adeptos, ali residentes, foi concedido o prazo de tres meses para que deixassem a regiao. A maioria dos judeus partiu para outros paises, sobretudo para a propria Holanda. Aos poucos que ficaram restava a pratica compulsoria do cristianismo e o risco de serem presos e processados pela Inquisicao. A presente dissertacao busca investigar os possiveis conflitos identitarios vivenciados pelos cristaos-novos presos (e processados) pela Inquisicao portuguesa, residentes na Capitania de Pernambuco, neste periodo imediatamente posterior ao final do dominio holandes. Busca verificar se a circunstância de estarem tais cristaos-novos situados num contexto de transicao de um ambiente de liberdade de consciencia religiosa para um cenario d...

Mais especificamente: empreende uma análise da representação dos judeus no folhetim intitulado " Esmeralda, a apóstata ". Trata-se de um texto de autoria de F.M. de Moraes, dividido em 10 capítulos, e publicado no jornal aracajuano " O Guarany " , entre os anos de 1883 e 1884. O foco da análise são os traços negativos de personalidade atribuídos aos personagens judeus presentes no enredo. Baseado nas noções da literatura como fonte histórica e do jornalismo como instrumento de construção e reprodução de identidades e representações identitárias, o presente trabalho busca evidenciar como no texto em análise verificam-se indícios da representação – ainda que literária – dos judeus em moldes típicos dos estereótipos elaborados pelo pensamento antissemita e reforçados pelos ideais do Darwinismo Social então vigente. Palavras-chave: Antissemitismo. Literatura. Sergipe. Século XIX. INTRODUÇÃO: A relação existente entre a atividade da imprensa e a divulgação de ideologias e preconceitos não chega a ser exatamente uma surpresa para os estudiosos da História do Brasil Oitocentista. Apesar do discurso tradicional da imprensa contemporânea reivindicar para si a pecha de tratar-se de uma leitura da realidade o mais objetiva e imparcial possível, o contato com os periódicos oitocentistas revela ao historiador uma realidade na qual muitas vezes o direcionamento ideológico encontrava-se estampado já no título da publicação 2. O presente texto parte do pressuposto de que a escrita jornalística se constitui em fonte privilegiada de acesso às ideologias e preconceitos vigentes numa dada sociedade e numa dada época. Tal pressuposto se mostra especialmente válida quando se trata de uma sociedade na qual o jornal desempenhava uma função informativa tão preponderante quanto era o caso da sociedade do século XIX – tanto brasileira, quanto sergipana.

As documentary corpus were analyzed articles and texts published by that writer in newspapers and magazines of Sergipe and Pernambuco. By preparing a brief bio-bibliographical
overview, and on the occasion of the sesquicentennial of his birth, we seek to recall the leading role played by this important thinker in the cultural and intellectual scene of Sergipe of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Master's Thesis by Nelson Santos

After the Portuguese reconquest, the Jewish religion was again banned and its adherents, resident there, were granted a period of three months to leave the region. Most of the Jews went to other countries, especially to Holland itself. To the few that stayed remained the compulsory practice of Christianity and the risk of being arrested and prosecuted by the Inquisition. The present dissertation seeks to investigate the possible identity conflicts experienced by the New Christian prisoners (and prosecuted) by the Portuguese Inquisition, residing in the Captaincy of Pernambuco, in this period immediately after the end of the Dutch rule. It seeks to verify whether the circumstance of such New Christians situated in a context of transition from an environment of religious freedom of conscience to a scenario of retaking the obligation of Catholicism and inquisitorial vigilance has generated identity conflicts and, if so, what the characteristics of these conflicts, as well as any strategies adopted to overcome them. To that purpose, it was decided to study the trajectory of Antônio Henriques, moreover, Isaac Cohen Henriques, the only New Christian imprisoned by the Portuguese Inquisition in the post-Dutch period for the public practice of Judaism during the Dutch dominion over Brazil. The importance of the study of its trajectory is due to the fact that it is the only case (sufficiently documented) of a New Christian who lived the double experience of the public exercise of Judaism and the subsequent decision to remain in Brazil after the departure of the Dutch, even at the risk of being arrested and convicted by the Inquisition.

It is a sui generis moment in which, even for a brief interregnum, freedom of religious conscience was granted to all - including the Jews, persecuted in various parts of the world at that time. In this differentiated scenario, Catholics, Protestants and Jews shared the same political and legal space. This true harbinger of religious toleration attracted many Jews from other countries, encouraged New Christians who lived there to re-embrace their ancient faith and culminated in the institutionalization of the first Jewish community in the Americas. With a special emphasis on the participation of New Christians, the main focus
of the research is to investigate the extent to which the freedom of religious consciousness and the true cultural background existing in that region engendered the necessary conditions for the emergence of (a) religious experience(s) of Judaism differentiated from those occurring in
other historical contexts, as well as to identify at a minimum what these possible specificities would be.
