Paternalism, Transgression and Slave Resistance in Brazil
Tramps, lazy, cheaters. Expressions like these were widely used by several masters in view of the multiple forms of transgressions committed by slaves. This type of (dis) qualification gained an even stronger contour in properties controlled by religious orders, which tried to impose moralizing measures on the enslaved population. In this book, the reader will come across a peculiar form of management, highly centralized and commanded by one of the most important religious corporations in Brazil: the Order of Saint Benedict. The Institutional Paternalism built by this institution throughout the 18th and 19th centuries was able to stimulate, among the enslaved, the yearning for freedom and au...
Current Trends in Slavery Studies in Brazil
In der Buchreihe des "Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies" werden Monographien und Tagungsbände, die das Phänomen der Sklaverei und andere Formen asymmetrischer Abhängigkeiten in Gesellschaften untersuchen, veröffentlicht. Die Reihe folgt dabei der Forschungsagenda des BCDSS, die die vorherrschende dichotomische Vorstellung von "Sklaverei versus Freiheit" überwindet. Das Cluster hat dazu ein neues Schlüsselkonzept ("asymmetrische Abhängigkeiten") entwickelt, das alle Ausprägungen von ungleichen Dependenzen (wie etwa Schuldknechtschaft, Zwangsarbeit, Dienstbarkeit, Leibeigenschaft, Hausarbeit, aber auch gewisse Formen der Lohnarbeit und der Patronage) berücksichtigt. Dabei werden auch Epochen, Räume und Kontexte der Weltgeschichte bearbeitet, die nicht der europäischen Kolonisierung ausgesetzt waren (z.B. altorientalische Kulturen sowie vormoderne und moderne Gesellschaften in Asien, Afrika und den Amerikas).
Capoeira, Mobility, and Tourism
In Capoeira, Mobility, and Tourism: Preserving an Afro-Brazilian Tradition in a Globalized World, Sergio González Varela examines the mobility of capoeira leaders and practitioners. He analyzes their motivations and spirituality as well as their ability to reconfigure social practices. Varela draws on tourism mobilities, multisited ethnography, global networks, heritage, and the anthropology of ritual and religion in order to stress the commitment, dedication, and value that international practitioners bring to capoeira.

Regulating Judges
Regulating Judges presents a novel approach to judicial studies. It goes beyond the traditional clash of judicial independence versus judicial accountability. Drawing on regulatory theory, Richard Devlin and Adam Dodek argue that judicial regulation is multi-faceted and requires us to consider the complex interplay of values, institutional norms, procedures, resources and outcomes. Inspired by this conceptual framework, the book invites scholars from 19 jurisdictions to describe and critique the regulatory regimes for a variety of countries from around the world.

Doze capítulos sobre escravizar gente e governar escravos
A obra apresenta análises diversas sobre escravidão no Estado e Império do Brasil e escravização e escravidão na África, especialmente Angola e Benguela. Dividido em três partes – “Governar escravos”; “Alta governação e escravidão, religiosidade e alforria, religião e liberdade”; e “Escravização, diplomacia, guerra e textos” –, o livro mostra, por exemplo, que a palavra governo no Antigo Regime possuía uma acepção ampla, podendo evocar a esfera religiosa (governo das almas) ou doméstica (o governo da casa familiar). No âmbito da coroa, a palavra governo incorporou esse imaginário doméstico, pois era amplamente aceito que a arte de conduzir uma família ou a “República” demandava as mesmas exigências, qualidades e princípios ético e político. Com histórias sobre aquelas sociedades e seus personagens – quer governadores, bispos, senhores poderosos ou senhores forros que governavam escravos –, esta obra aborda e relaciona sociedades assentadas na maior das desigualdades: a escravidão, aceita e naturalizada em terras do Brasil e de Angola, onde ela resistiu e findou tardiamente.
