ABSTRACT

The search for the definition of the Macaronesian islands world (Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands and Cape Verde) has been a subject of constant reflection for the interpretation of these societies, both to understand their origin and their worldview, and to define the parameters that unite the island spaces with the Atlantic and, consequently, with that which is foreign. This research is focused on the analysis the characteristics which define the island phenomenon with the goal of understanding the peculiar significance of the composition of modern Macaronesian society during the consolidation of the Atlantic world at the time of the Iberian Union. In this regard, the islands of Macaronesia formed an essential terrain to feed and boost transatlantic circulation. The attraction of certain islands is their ability to cross distant paths, redistribute products and promote migratory flows in the Atlantic. In this way, the fluid contacts between islands of Macaronesia, which are complementary, promoted between the Castilian and Portuguese islanders not only a feeling of belonging to a supranational Iberian monarchy, but also a sensitivity of belonging to the same island region formed by a Portuguese and Spanish population of extrapeninsular origin with its nexus being it’s the Atlantic insularity.

摘要

寻找马卡罗尼西亚群岛世界（亚速尔群岛、马德拉群岛、加那利群岛和佛得角）的定义一直是解释这些社会不断反思的主题，既要了解其起源和世界观，又要定义这些社会的参数将岛屿空间与大西洋结合起来，从而与外国空间结合起来。本研究的重点是分析岛屿现象的特征，目的是了解伊比利亚联盟时期大西洋世界巩固期间现代马卡罗尼社会构成的特殊意义。在这方面，马卡罗尼西亚群岛形成了滋养和促进跨大西洋环流的重要地形。某些岛屿的吸引力在于它们能够跨越遥远的路径，重新分配产品并促进大西洋的移民流动。这样，互补性的马卡罗尼西亚岛屿之间的流动性接触，不仅促进了卡斯蒂利亚岛民和葡萄牙岛民对超国家伊比利亚君主国的归属感，而且促进了对葡萄牙人形成的同一岛屿地区的归属感。和来自半岛外的西班牙人口，其联系是大西洋岛屿。
