\nDiz ele:
\nSignificantly, I have found that this period of witchcraft persecution
\nin Portugal coincided with a time when university-trained physicians
\nand surgeons, or m\u00e9dicos, were entering the paid ranks of the
\nInquisition in unprecedented numbers, taking up employment as
\nfamiliares (non-ecclesiastical employees of the Holy Office who often
\nidentified deviant members of society as potential subjects for an
\nInquisition investigation) to enjoy the enhanced status and privileges
\nconsequent to holding such a post.

\nMas o mais importante \u00e9 isto:
\nI contend that state-licensed physicians
\nand surgeons, motivated by professional competition […], used
\ntheir positions within the Holy Office to initiate trials against purveyors
\nof folk remedies.
\nTherefore, I believe that the persecution of curandeiros and saludadores
\nreveals a conflict between learned medical culture and popular
\nhealing culture in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
\nPortugal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nEm conclus\u00e3o, suspeito que a actual ordem dos m\u00e9dicos seja a herdeira directa desta linha de actua\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Assim se explica a falta de vontade em abrir mais cursos e vagas em Medicina, e em ter de importar m\u00e9dicos de Cuba e outras paragens.<\/p>\n

\nCHAPTER EIGHT
\nPUNISHING MAGICAL CRIMINALS: MILD CUSTOMS
\n(BRANDOS COSTUMES ) AND SOCIAL CONTROL
\nFor all of the diligence of Portugal\u2019s inquisitors and familiares in bringing
\npopular healers and other m\u00e1gicos to trial during the Enlightenment
\nera, the Holy Office\u2019s treatment of convicted magical criminals was
\ncomparably light. Indeed, relative clemency is the salient feature of
\nPortugal\u2019s \u201cwitch hunting\u201d experience in the eighteenth century. The
\nInquisition publicly humiliated sorcerers, witches, diviners and illicit
\nsuperstitious healers and drove them away from their homes to live
\nin exile under very difficult circumstances, but it almost never had
\nthem killed. Certainly by the standards of other European regions
\nduring the previous three centuries, when being found guilty of a
\nmagical crime generally meant suffering some form of capital punishment,
\nPortuguese sentences, lethal in only the rarest of circumstances,
\nwere comparatively benign.
\nCuriously, this was almost as true in the sixteenth century as it
\nwas in the eighteenth;

D\u00e1 que pensar. Se Portugal \u00e9 um pa\u00eds mal gerido (em termos tecnocr\u00e1ticos), ou se Portugal \u00e9 um pa\u00eds que sabe gerir a sua especificidade sem sucumbir \u00e0s certezas tecnocr\u00e1ticas em moda na \u00e9poca…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
