Transgressions and their related punishments are among the most important tools for analyzing the values that have been imprinted within a given community. In addition to identifying the norm and the relative deviations therefrom, they also make it possible to interpret the occurrence of these phenomena in a specific place, reflecting a reality in constant evolution over time. In this article, I focus on the discipline exercised by the governing council of the Portuguese community of Hamburg between 1652 and 1682, in order to understand what this reveals to us about the social, cultural and religious history of that community in one of the most important periods of its history. My research focuses specifically on the role of women as the agents and targets of transgressive and disciplinary practices, respectively, in order to understand what these cases reveal to us about the attitudes and perceptions shared by the ruling class about women and their condition in the Portuguese-Jewish communities of Western Europe during the early modern period.

Matérias de transgressão e disciplina constituem uma das ferramentas mais importantes para analisar os valores impressos numa determinada comunidade. Além de indicar a norma e seu desvio relativo, possibilitam também uma interpretação situada desses fenómenos, reflectindo uma realidade em constante evolução ao longo do tempo. O presente artigo debruça-se sobre a disciplina exercida pelo conselho executivo na comunidade portuguesa de Hamburgo entre 1652 e 1682 para compreender o que revela sobre a história social, cultural e religiosa dessa comunidade num dos períodos mais importantes da sua história. A investigação incidirá especificamente sobre o papel das mulheres como agentes e alvos de práticas transgressoras e disciplinares, respectivamente, de modo a compreender o que estes casos nos revelam sobre as atitudes e percepções partilhadas pela classe dominante acerca das mulheres e da sua condição nas comunidades judaico-portuguesas da Europa Ocidental, durante o período moderno.
