Escravidão e universo cultural na colônia
Analisa a sociedade mineira colonial, especialmente as relações escravistas lá desenvolvidas. Através de inventários post-mortem e testamentos de mulheres e homens livres e forros do século XVIII, estuda o cotidiano, principalmente, das mulheres ex-escravas e de suas famílias entre 1716 e 1789.
Dar nome ao novo
Qual é a relevância para os dias atuais do estudo de antigos conceitos, categorias e termos relativos às mestiçagens biológicas e culturais associadas à escravidão? As respostas a essa pergunta são apresentadas ao longo deste livro, direta e indiretamente. O passado mestiço e escravista ibero-americano, entre o fim do século XV e o início do século XIX, é estudado a partir das formas como foi nomeado, compreendido, explicado e organizado pelos agentes históricos que o constituíram e de um grande conjunto de documentos que eles produziram e legaram ao futuro. Grandes categorias sociais, como "qualidade", "condição", "cor", "nação", "raça" e "casta", assim como as designaç...
Nombrar lo nuevo
Eduardo França Paiva ha pasado muchos años estudiando los esclavos y hombres libres africanos en Brasil, y principalmente en Minas Gerais, una región donde la riqueza del subsuelo transformó la demografía de las ciudades y también, en muchos casos, la condición servil de los trabajadores. En este campo, los mestizajes biológicos y, sobre todo, culturales, han solicitado su atención. Este nuevo libro amplía esa temática y propone un léxico analítico de los términos utilizados para nombrar a lo que no tiene aún nombre: los seres híbridos producidos por el mestizaje biológico en el continente americano. La primera originalidad de este trabajo es justamente la de incluir la tota...
Rethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain
Rethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain claims that theology and canon law were decisive for shaping ideas, debates, and decisions about key political and religious problems in Renaissance Spain. This book studies Catholic thought during the Spanish Renaissance, with the various contributors specifically exploring the ecclesiology and heresiology of the period. Today, these two subjects are considered to be strictly branches of theology, but at the time, they were also dealt with in the field of canon law. Both ecclesiology, which studied the internal structure of the Church, and heresiology, which identified theological errors, played an important role in shaping ideas, debates, and dec...
From Conquest to Colony
A new history of Brazil’s eighteenth century that foregrounds debates about wealth, difference, and governance Transformations in Portugal and Brazil followed the discovery of gold in Brazil’s hinterland and the hinterland’s subsequent settlement. Although earlier conquests and evangelizations had incorporated new lands and peoples into the monarchy, royal officials now argued that the extraction of gold and the imperatives of rivalry and commerce demanded new approaches to governance to ensure that Brazil’s wealth flowed to Portugal and into imperial networks of exchange. Using archival records of royal and local administrations, as well as contemporary print culture, Kirsten Schult...
Living History
This book focusses on the several forms of reconstructing the slave past in the present. The recent emergence of the memory of slavery allows those who are or who claim to be descendents of slaves to legitimize their demand for recognition and for reparations for past wrongs. Some reparation claims encompass financial compensation, but very often they express the need for memorialization through public commemoration, museums, and monuments. In some contexts, presentification of the slave past has helped governments and the descendants of former masters and slave merchants to formulate public apologies. For some, expressing repentance is not only a means to erase guilt but also a way to gain ...
Adrift on an Inland Sea
From 1750 until Brazil won its independence in 1822, the Portuguese crown sought to extend imperial control over the colony's immense, sea-like interior and exploit its gold and diamond deposits using enslaved labor. Carrying orders from Lisbon into the Brazilian backlands, elite vassals, soldiers, and scientific experts charged with exploring multiple frontier zones and establishing royal authority conducted themselves in ways that proved difficult for the crown to regulate. The overland expeditions they mounted in turn encountered actors operating beyond the state's purview: seminomadic Native peoples, runaway slaves, itinerant poor, and those deemed criminals, who eluded, defied, and resh...
Comparative and Global Framing of Enslavement
The study of enslavement has become urgent over the last two decades. Social scientists, legal scholars, human rights activists, and historians, who study forms of enslavement in both modern and historical societies, have sought – and often achieved – common conceptual grounds, thus forging a new perspective that comprises historical and contemporary forms of slavery. What could certainly be termed a turn in the study of slavery has also intensified awareness of enslavement as a global phenomenon, inviting a comparative, trans-regional approach across time-space divides. Though different aspects of enslavement in different societies and eras are discussed, each of the volume’s three pa...
