Resumo
Esta monografia tem como objetivo analisar o processo de expansão fronteiriça luso-brasileira
na América portuguesa meridional no último quartel do século XVIII e início do século XIX,
com foco na região dos Campos Neutrais. Delimitada pelo Tratado de Santo Ildefonso em 1777,
essa zona de exclusão entre as coroas portuguesa e espanhola foi utilizada pelos portugueses
como fonte de gado e terras para a pecuária. O progressivo recolhimento da gadaria selvagem
dessa região foi um dos fatores que impulsionou a expansão da pecuária na região sul do Brasil.
A dinâmica entre expansão fronteiriça e escravidão é fundamental no contexto riograndense do
período por explicitar as articulações do local com o global.
This monograph aims to analyze the process of Portuguese-Brazilian border expansion in southern Portuguese America in the last quarter of the 18th and early 19th centuries, focusing on the Campos Neutrais region. Delimited by the Treaty of Santo Ildefonso in 1777, this exclusion zone between the Portuguese and Spanish crowns was used by the Portuguese as a source of cattle and land for livestock. The progressive collection of wild cattle from this region was one of the factors that boosted the expansion of livestock in the southern region of Brazil. The dynamic between border expansion and slavery is fundamental in the Rio Grande do Sul context of the period, as it makes explicit the links between the local and the global.
