SUMMARY:

Emerging from the war against the netherlanders, the city council of Paraíba experienced a
specific period in terms of its agency and its political position in the Portuguese empire.
Alongside this, in the second half of the 17th century, important processes were developed in
that region, around which the municipality was involved. In this way, we seek to study the city
council of Paraíba in the post-war against the WIC, focusing on the years between 1654 and
1688, for which the mentioned specificity was evidenced. For this, we investigated the political
communication of the municipality with the central powers, the relationship of the municipal
power with other powers of the State of Brazil, the social insertion of the institution, the agency
of the chamber around some themes and the proposal of a reform plan of the captainship. Along
the way, we used quantitative analysis, comparison, cross-referencing, prosopography, content
analysis and discourse analysis. The main documentary fund used was the Arquivo Histórico
Ultramarino, based on the codices and three avulse sections; in addition to them, sources located
in Torre do Tombo were also used, as well as some brought in the Documentos Históricos da
Biblioteca Nacional. Thus, it was possible to advance in the understanding of the cited city
council, of the local elite in Paraíba, the role of the municipal councils in that conjuncture and
of the political and administrative life in the captainship of Paraíba.
