| description | This article proposes an interpretative synthesis of Charles R. Boxer’s approach to society in the Luso-Oriental Empire (16th–18th centuries), articulating his concept of a “Civil Empire” with the social framework of the “State of India.” Starting from the premise that Boxer’s category extends beyond the strictly social plane to encompass forms of occupation, economic exploitation, political networks, and missionary methodologies, the study organizes the societal portrait based on the main groups Boxer identifies: soldiers (including unmarried “soldiers”), “casados”/settlers, clergy, and also marginal segments such as vagabonds, adventurers, and beggars. The analysis emphasizes how the image of the Portuguese empire is defined less by a coherent military “machine” and more by a historical structure marked by social processes and practices of governance, especially considering the implicit contrast with the Spanish/overseas “Military Empire.” Methodologically, the text operates as a critical and contextual reading of Boxer, discussing its assumptions and limitations (including the debate on “racial discrimination” and the underanalysis of the Far East) and, from there, advances an interpretative conclusion: the Luso model in the East would have operated more according to civil logics than military ones, albeit traversed by conflicts, fragilities, and reorganizations of power. |
