SUMMARY:

Much of the religious daily life in Portuguese America was related to the activities of religious brotherhoods. This institutional model, originating from medieval craft guilds, was responsible for organizing the practices necessary to maintain divine worship by incorporating distinct social groups in the colonial space. According to royal and episcopal orders, these institutions, organized in any part of the Portuguese empire, should draw up their own statutes and require ecclesiastical or secular approval. In this way, it was observed that numerous normative bodies were produced that were called Commitment. In this sense, the present study was based on seeking to understand the role of the brotherhoods in the production of these statutes, the normative knowledge that guided this production and the circulation of this knowledge in the colonial space. For this purpose, we conduct this analysis through the rhetorical elements of modern legal thought present in these particular statutes when analyzing the concept of corporation and the categories of law and mercy for these communities. In this way, we prioritized the city of Recife as a spatial area of analysis because it concentrated different types of brotherhoods that came to draw up their statutes, especially during the second half of the 18th century. Therefore, we used as a source the Commitments prepared by the brotherhoods of the Blessed Sacrament of the Matriz de Santo Antônio, Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, São José dos Quatro Ofícios, São Pedro dos Clérigos and Santa Ana. In addition to the Commitments, applications were also used to confirm and challenge the approval of statutes. Therefore, the present work is inserted in the field of social investigation from a perspective of the History of Law, in which the objective is to highlight the moral aspects established through the bond established between the associated brothers who led the normative construction responsible for mediating these relations.
