Resumo
O objeto de análise constituiu na apropriação dos recursos naturais na capitania de Santa Catarina entre os anos de 1738 e 1808. Buscou-se interrogar as formas de exploração e uso da natureza, bem como os interesses econômicos envolvidos. A análise do modelo políticoadministrativo adotado nessa capitania evidenciou as relações estabelecidas entre o poder decisório nos níveis local e central e as alterações processadas ao longo da formação histórica da capitania. A colonização da capitania foi marcada por um viés militar e também econômico; militar devido à posição estratégica da ilha de Santa Catarina, e econômico porque as potencialidades naturais nutriam interesses mercantis, desde o momento da criação da capitania e mais fortemente no momento da crise do sistema colonial luso-brasileiro da segunda metade do século XVIII. As fontes consultadas foram documentos oficiais avulsos e informações coletadas na literatura de viajantes e naturalistas.
The present work aimed to analyze the appropriation of natural resources in the captainship of Santa Catarina between the years 1738 and 1808. We tried to interrogate the ways of exploration and use of the nature, as well as the involved economic interests. The analysis of the adopted political-administrative model in this captainship evidenced the relations between the decisive power at the local and central levels and the occurred alterations throughout the historical formation of the captainship. The colonization of the captainship was marked by a military and also an economic feature; military due to the strategical position of the island of Santa Catarina and economic because of the natural potentialities that sustained mercantile interests, since the creation of the captainship and even more at the period of crisis of the Luso-Brazilian colonial system in the second half of the XVIII century. The consulted sources consisted of official documents and literature from travellers and naturalists.
