Terra da Luz: a abolição da escravidão no Ceará a partir do discurso político (1870-1888)

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender o processo que levou ao fim da escravidão no Ceará entre os anos de 1870 e 1888 partindo dos discursos dos políticos cearenses na Assembleia Legislativa Provincial do Ceará e na Câmara Geral dos Deputados. Tomar-se-ão por base, aqui, os anais da citada Assembleia Legislativa e os Anais da Câmara dos Deputados, observando, nas discussões do Parlamento Imperial, os posicionamentos da bancada cearense. A ideia da pesquisa é identificar e analisar os projetos elaborados com o objetivo de resolver o problema da escravidão no Brasil, atentando para os argumentos utilizados pelos políticos cearenses e identificando os fundamentos explicativos para a necessidade de pôr fim à escravidão no Ceará. A análise desses discursos permitirá uma melhor compreensão da forma como a movimentação abolicionista/emancipacionista no Ceará foi percebida pelos políticos e ajudará a entender a construção do Ceará como exemplo de patriotismo, o que ocorre paralelamente a um processo de justificação do fim da escravidão que, em última instância, construiu uma determinada representação sobre o Ceará e os cearenses.

Mariana , Pai contra mãe e O caso da vara : escravidão e chão histórico em Machado de Assis

Machado de Assis understood his time and brought his perception of Brazilian society in the 19th century, with its multiple aspects economy, politics, culture, amongst others - to the texts he wrote. Through the tensions lived in his novels and short stories, Machado displays Brazilian social reality and the changes it had been undergoing. Mariana and Pai contra mãe show the crisis of the slavery system, the relation of dependency, the treatment given to the captives and the lack of coherence of a country that intended to adopt Liberalism as an ideology, but which kept on living under the shadow of slavery and its consequences. A country where the priorities were given to the landlords, owners of slaves, in protection of their interests. O caso da vara tells about how the crias da casa little black girls who lived in the household and learned how to make spool embroidery were treated. What were the punishments for desobedience and how they were levelled out, how should be the behaviour of a child who lived as a social outcast. Thus, this paper aims at playing a game of mirrors between History and fiction. Not only to play it, but to analyze how Machado deals with the reflections of 19th century Brazil on his short stories

Escravidão na Vila do Príncipe, província do Rio Grande do Norte (1850/1888)

This dissertation presents a study on the slave population of Vila do Príncipe, from 1850 to 1888, based on the judicial and notarial collection of hand written documents as well as on the Reports of Presidents of the Province of Rio Grande do Norte. The issue that drives the research relates to the reproduction of slavery in a region of cattle breeding colonization. Therefore, the research aims to understand how in a peripheral socio-economic place (in Vila do Príncipe, cattle breeding Seridó) after the prohibition of the African slave trade, the slave relationships subsisted and structured themselves. In the sense, the research analyzed the dynamics of socio-economic slave units and their relationship with space, ownership structure and the slave family.

Liberdades possíveis em espaços periféricos: escravidão e alforria no termo da vila de Arez (séculos xviii e xix)

This paper discusses aspects of the slavery and emancipations in the village of Arez between the last quarter of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century. It seeks to identify the profile of the slaves and the emancipation possibilities in a peripheral region with few commercial activities, given that the most of the approaches about manumission consider towns and cities where the economic dynamics ware more pronounced, as places of higher possibilities of slaves working in diverse activities that allowed them to accumulate a reserve fund and thus buy their freedom. Therefore it was necessary to raise evidences of slavery in the case study, which was based on surveys of the eighteenth century, and the first decades of the nineteenth century and some population maps and civil records related to the early nineteenth century. The information about the manumission acts were analyzed based on writs of freedom registered in the village of Arez between 1774 and 1827 due to the absence of other documents about it. The registry books include all the documents of the Arez community; so, it was possible to observe what happened in rural localities, in the town, in the headquarters of the district and in the village of Goianinha. Based on information from the documents, it was possible to address some aspects of slavery like the predominant types of groups, the possible activities in which slaves were inserted and the profile of the freed slaves, the emancipation modes and, therefore, discuss the possible relations ship between the colonial space and manumissions and between masters and slaves
