A presente dissertação realiza um exame da trajetória pública do abolicionista Antonio Bento de Souza e Castro, contribuindo para o debate sobre a campanha contra o cativeiro na província de São Paulo na década de 1880. Antonio Bento foi frequentemente identificado como mentor e líder do grupo abolicionista radical Ordem dos Caifazes, cujas práticas baseavam-se no planejamento e auxílio, por parte de homens livres, a fugas escravas no interior da província de São Paulo. Na primeira parte deste trabalho, analisamos o modo como, durante toda a década de 1880, a questão do cativeiro esteve entre as prioridades da agenda política nacional, assumindo protagonismo também na província de São Paulo e influenciando diretamente a atuação do movimento abolicionista e as estratégias empreendidas pelos indivíduos envolvidos na causa. Em um segundo momento, revisitamos especificamente a trajetória de Antonio Bento, revisando a memória construída sobre sua figura e evidenciando sua atuação contra o cativeiro, à época, no âmbito jurídico, junto à Irmandade da Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios e, principalmente, na imprensa. Documento fundamental no percurso da pesquisa foi o periódico abolicionista por ele criado e chefiado, o A Redempção, publicado na cidade de São Paulo entre janeiro de 1887 e maio de 1888. Um estudo da estrutura deste jornal e do modo com que, em seu interior, uma multiplicidade de projetos para a abolição do cativeiro no país puderam ser identificados, configuram objeto do terceiro capítulo. A análise específica das ideias de Antonio Bento na qualidade de redator-chefe do periódico (expressas em seus editoriais) compõe a última parte deste trabalho, na qual evidenciamos como, na vigência de seu jornal, o abolicionista lutou contra o cativeiro explorando as contingências da campanha e adaptando seu discurso com vistas a acelerar a derrocada da instituição escravista no Império do Brasil. / By examining the public life and practices of the abolitionist Antonio Bento de Souza e Castro, this dissertation intends to contribute to the debate on the campaign against slavery held in the province of São Paulo over the 1880s. Antonio Bento was frequently identified as the mentor and leader of the radical abolitionist organization Ordem dos Caifazes, which was composed of free men who aided and planned the flights of enslaved men and women in the interior of the province. The first part of the dissertation analyzes the central role played by slavery and its termination in the national political agenda throughout the 1880s, which affected the activities and strategies of the abolitionist movement developed in the province of São Paulo.The second part of the dissertation revisits the life trajectory of Antonio Bento, reviewing the public memory concerning the abolitionist as well as his participation in the struggles against slavery via activities carried out in the judicial arena, engagement in the Fraternity Igreja da Nossa Senhora dos Remédios and, most importantly, involvement with the press. The abolitionist newspaper A Redempção, created and led by Antonio Bento and published in the city of São Paulo between January 1887 and May 1888, was a fundamental source for this dissertation. A study on the structure of such newspaper and on the multiple political projects of abolition that it gathered can be found in the third chapter. Finally, the last chapter focuses on the analysis of Antonio Bentos views as the editor in chief of A Redempção. This chapter demonstrates that Antonio Bento\'s engagement in the fight against slavery relied on the criticism to the contingencies of the abolitionist movement and on a changeable abolitionist discourse aimed at rushing the downfall of the institution of slavery in the Empire of Brazil.

A priori, descartamos qualquer classificação que possa determinar as filiações ideológicas dos personagens juiz-foranos, entendendo que a tradicional divisão Monarquia versus República não é capaz de abarcar ou representar as identidades políticas em conflito na localidade ao longo desse período. / This research aims to conduct a study on the political dynamics of the city of Juiz de Fora, throughout the 1880s, rescuing the last traces of the manner in which the elites who worked in the village got together and rearticulate in the search for solutions to contingencies and demands on material improvements in the urban structure of the city. A priori, we discard any classification that can determine the ideological affiliations of “juiz-foranos” characters, understanding that the traditional division Monarchy versus Republic is not able to encompass or represent conflicting political identities in the town during this period.

Levando em consideração a diversidade regional que compõe o cenário abarcado na pesquisa, foi possível visualizar uma diversidade de posicionamentos em relação à campanha pela abolição e mesmo o crescimento de um clima de tensão e violência frente à rebeldia escrava e a atuação de grupos abolicionistas espalhados pela província. / The main objective of this work is understand the unfolding of the process of extinction of slavery in Minas Gerais, especially regarding the role abolitionist during the 1880s, analyzing the actions of militant ant-slavery, slaves, masters and public authorities, through a corpus documentary made by newspapers, reports memoirs, police correspondence and official reports. Taking into account the regional diversity that makes up the scenario encompassed in the research, it was possible to view a variety of positions in relation to the campaign for the abolition and even the growth of a climate of tension and violence caused by slave rebellion and the abolitionists action groups spread across the province.

Este trabalho, tendo como objeto de investigação as narrativas dos abolicionistas Luiz Gama (1830-1882) e Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), pretende evidenciar a maneira como os aspectos linguísticos e semióticos se articulam nos processos de projeção discursiva do eu e de construção discursiva identitária, bem como demonstrar a maneira como cada enunciador apresenta suas escolhas discursivas por meio dos procedimentos de tematização e figurativização. Assim sendo, temos como uma das principais intenções contribuir para a ampliação de visões e perspectivas, teóricas e analíticas, acerca dos escritos de ex-escravizados. Por conseguinte, a linha teórica norteadora deste trabalho é a Semiótica Discursiva de linha francesa. Essa perspectiva, de origem estruturalista, tem como foco o estudo, a reflexão e a análise da estrutura interna do texto. Concebida como a teoria geral da significação, a Semiótica ocupa-se dos processos de articulação discursiva que promovem a construção dos efeitos de sentido dos textos. Com isso, o corpus selecionado para a execução da pesquisa foi composto pelos seguintes textos: o poema Quem sou eu? (1861), a Carta a Lúcio de Mendonça (1880), ambos de autoria de Luiz Gama, e Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845), escrita por Frederick Douglass / In this work, we take as object of investigation the narratives of the abolitionists Luiz Gama (1830-1882), Brazilian, and Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), American. Thus, we intend to evidence the way as the linguistic and semiotic aspects are articulated in the processes of discursive projection of the self and discursive construction of identity, as well as to demonstrate the way each enunciator presents his discursive choices through the thematization and figurativization processes. So, one of our main intentions is to contribute to the expansion of theoretical and analytical visions and perspectives, on the narrative of ex-enslaved. Consequently, the theoretical framework of this work is Discursive Semiotics. This perspective takes into account the study, reflection and analysis of the internal structure of the text. Conceived as the general theory of signification, Semiotics is engaged in the processes of discursive articulation that promote the construction of the meaning effects of the texts. Therewith, the corpus selected for this research comprises the poem Quem sou eu? [Who am I?] (1861), Carta a Lúcio de Mendonça [Letter to Lúcio de Mendonça] (1880), both written by Luiz Gama, and Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845), written by himself

abstract: This study explores the eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century German dramatic genre Sklavenstücke (slave plays). These plays, which until recently have not received any significant attention in scholarship, articulate a nuanced critique of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade and thus bear witness to an early German-language discourse indicative of abolitionist currents.Tracing individual acts of German-language abolitionism, I investigate the correlation between abolitionist movements in the Euro-American space and German involvements in these very efforts. In this sense, I contest the notion of an absence of German abolitionist awareness in Europe during the Age of Enlightenment. My reading of these slave plays contributes to discussions about the transcultural nature of abolitionist discourse and defies the notion that abolitionist activism only emerged within the specific nation-states that have previously been the subject of scholarship. Challenging this layering both theoretically and analytically, then, requires an innovative shift that centers approaches rooted in Black thought and theories, which are the foundation of this study. These concepts are necessary for engaging with issues of slavery and abolition while at the same time exposing white paternalist perspectives and gazes. Plays of this genre often foreground the horrors of slavery at the hands of cruel white slaveholders, and characterize enslaved Black Africans as unblemished, obedient, submissive, hard-working, and grateful “beings” deserving of humanitarian benevolence. Based on these sentiments, an overarching discourse opposing slavery and the transatlantic slave trade emerged by way of German-language theatrical plays, theoretical treatises, newspaper articles, academic writings, travelogues, diary entries, and journal articles that negotiated the nature, origin, and legitimacy of Black African humanity around debates on slavery. Thus, my study demonstrates that these German-language literary contributions indicate inscribed socio-critical commentary and take up transatlantic abolitionist discourses, a dialogue that surfaced under the auspices of the Enlightenment. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation International Letters and Cultures 2020

Legal Regulation of Prostitution in the Czech Republic Abstract Prostitution and questions about its legal framework have accompanied humanity since time immemorial. For many centuries periods of prohibition, when prostitution was banned and prosecuted, alternated with periods of regulation, when prostitution was allowed within the legal framework on the territory of the present-day Czech Republic. Since 1992 an abolitionist approach to prostitution has been in place, meaning that prostitution is neither prohibited nor expressly permitted by law. The only regulatory element in the current concept of abolitionism is the power of municipalities to issue generally binding by-laws to ensure local public order. Using by-laws, municipalities are allowed to regulate or even ban prostitution from local public grounds. Since the establishment of the independent Czech Republic, several proposals have emerged with the objective to "solve" abolitionism, demanding a change in the legal approach either towards repression or, more often, towards the creation of legal framework. However, none of them has yet been adopted. This is partly because there is no general agreement on what is the right "solution" and partly because the adoption of prostitution laws is not in accordance with the Czech Republic's obligations under...

The purpose of this essay is to explore how the interplay between gender and double consciousness is used as a rhetorical device in Harriet Jacobs’ autobiographical narrative “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl” (1861). Through a feminist theoretical lens and the concept of double consciousness I provide examples from the text illustrating Jacobs’ strategic use of different narrative techniques to convey her abolitionist message.Formulärets överkant The analysis delve into the intricate dual identities that Jacobs’ struggles with as an enslaved woman lacking autonomy, while simultaneously trying to live up to society’s expectation of a “good” woman in the antebellum South. The gendered version of double consciousness works persuasively and highlights her complex situation. By portraying the challenges of an oppressed woman striving to meet societal ideals, Jacobs encourages her readers to support the abolitionist cause.

L’étude comparative de Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Harriet Jacobs), Our Nig ; Sketches from the Life of a Free Black (Harriet Wilson) et The Bondwoman’s Narrative (Hannah Crafts) s’attache à ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives sur la singularité du sujet féminin noir dans les anfractuosités de l’écriture autobiographique du récit d’esclave. Si ces femmes auteurs se constituent en témoins privilégiés de la condition féminine noire de l’Amérique « antebellum », elles n’engagent pas moins leur plume dans l’activisme. L’enjeu de cette thèse est de revenir sur les liens entre écriture et féminin en prenant comme point de départ l’œuvre elle-même, fût-elle autobiographie ou fiction. La saisie de soi et du monde et la quête identitaire sont des thèmes fondamentaux de la tradition romanesque africaine américaine où des voix marquantes se succèdent. L’affranchissement du genre autobiographique s’affirme comme instance de survie où la mise en perspective de la fiction permet de révéler la vérité du sujet. Ainsi, la question du genre constitue la trame de ce panorama où sont examinés la nature du discours du sujet noir, l’écriture du corps féminin, et le théâtre « ima-gyn-aire » d’un sujet en crise. En véritable héritière de Dickens et Byron, Hannah Crafts s’attache à créer des correspondances entre les genres, tandis que Harriet Wilson adresse une lettre ouverte à Emerson et Harriet Jacobs subvertit le roman sentimental. Ces trois femmes situent, contre toute attente, l’esthétique du récit d’esclave au carrefour de la littérature autobiographique, sentimentale, gothique et picaresque. Nous verrons, à travers ce travail, que ce n’est pas tant l’anatomie qui distingue le sujet mais plutôt la façon qu’a le sujet de se ranger d’un côté ou de l’autre du genre ; le sujet féminin peut désormais évoluer dans un nouvel espace le libérant de l’emprise du masculin. Cette thèse est également l’occasion d’une réflexion sur la dialectique de l’historicité et la littérarité où l’engagement politique de l’auteur du récit d’esclave, qui est appelé à s’imposer comme littérature, invite à porter un nouveau regard sur la production littéraire féminine avant-gardiste, et ainsi donner un nouvel élan à la littérature africaine américaine. / The comparative study of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Harriet Jacobs), Our Nig ; Sketches from the Life of a Free Black (Harriet Wilson), and The Bondwoman’s Narrative (Hannah Crafts) aims at opening up new perspectives on the specificity of the female subject, through the slave narrative’s autobiographical writing. If these women writers stand as privileged witnesses of the female condition in Antebellum America, they do not remain passive nonetheless. The aim of this dissertation is to approach the links between « writing » and « feminine », by taking into account the text itself, be it autobiographical or fictionalized. Significantly enough, self-consciousness, identity and the construction of a self through writing are definitely major components of the African American literary tradition in which outstanding voices are singled out. The slave narrative tends to drift away from autobiography in order to afford its survival and conforms to the conventions that proved successful, thus revealing the truth of the subject. In this perspective, gender is the key issue of this study which brings an exclusive insight on black women’s writing. Discursive difference, writing the female body, and a staged conflicted subject are the core themes of this work. As a follower of Dickens and Byron, Hannah Crafts creates a unique blend of genres, while Harriet Wilson’s modus operandi is to rewrite Emerson’s reflections on society, and Harriet Jacobs offers a subversion of the sentimental novel. By all means, these female slave narratives’ « tour de force » lies in the aesthetics and poetics of the genre located at the crossroads of autobiography, sentimental fiction, the gothic and the picaresque. The subject determines its own sexuation, which enables the female subject to break free from the male subject. This dissertation also offers the opportunity to raise the question of history and literature. The slave narrative falls within the frame of literature as the writer’s political stance is an invitation to reconsider avant-garde women’s literary production within the African American literary canon.

Este trabalho pretende produzir algumas reflexões sobre o triunfo da escola no mundo contemporâneo, bem como meditar sobre os limites políticos do sujeito escolar, atentando para suas múltiplas dimensões: moral, cognitiva e sociocultural. Para tanto, elegemos como tema geral da investigação as vicissitudes da rotina escolar, particularmente no que se refere ao adoecimento e à deserção dos professores da escola pública brasileira. A principal referência teórica é a obra de Michel Foucault, mais particularmente, suas análises sobre as instituições disciplinares, as práticas racionais de governo das populações e os jogos de poder/resistência no interior da sociabilidade moderna. Partindo do conceito foucaultiano de governamentalidade e da análise dos discursos médicos e pedagógicos sobre a saúde dos professores, desenvolvemos três operadores conceituais: a insuportabilidade da rotina escolar, a fadiga-limite dos professores como contraconduta moral e, por fim, o abolicionismo escolar, este tomado tanto como aporia política de nosso tempo quanto como abertura para um futuro indeterminado. Dessa forma, nosso estudo pretende demonstrar como os processos de governamentalização das condutas escolares são permeados por um elemento trágico, bem como por conflitos que, antes de explicitarem os mecanismos e os movimentos do poder sobre as formas e os modos de vida, figuram como ruína permanente do próprio paradigma de poder vigente nesse quadrante. Acima de tudo, debruçamo-nos sobre casos-limite do pensamento e da ação, bem como sobre a possibilidade de perspectivar politicamente alguns impasses da educação formal contemporânea, os quais nos levam a sugerir que o problema do adoecimento e da deserção dos professores não deve ser reduzido ao âmbito da patologização médica e da moralização social para que possa, porventura, ser ressignificado como uma potência trágica do desastre triunfal da escola; uma potência que carrega indelevelmente o fantasma do abolicionismo escolar como imperativo ético-político de um tempo por vir. / In this study we intend to produce some reflections on the triumph of school in the contemporary world, as well as ponder upon the political limits of the schooling individual, considering their multiple dimensions: moral, cognitive and socio-cultural. To this end, we have chosen as the overall theme of research the vicissitudes of school routine, especially with regard to illness and desertion of Brazilian public school teachers. The main theoretical reference is the work of Michel Foucault, particularly his analysis of disciplinary institutions, of rational practices of governance of populations and of power/resistance games within the modern forms of sociability. Taking both the Foucauldian conception of governmentality and the analysis of medical and educational discourse on teachers health as our starting point, we have developed three conceptual operators: the intolerability of the school routine, the fatigue limit of teachers as a moral counter-conduct and finally, school abolitionism, considering this last concept both as political stalemate of our times and as an overture to an indeterminate future. Thus, our study aims to demonstrate how the processes of governmentalization of schooling conducts are crossed, at the same time, by a tragic element and by conflicts that, instead of making explicit the mechanisms and moves of power on ways and modes of life, are regarded as the permanent ruin of the very paradigm of the ruling power in this domain. Above all, we have looked at limit-cases of thought and action, as well as at the possibility of envisaging some deadlocks of contemporary formal education in a political light, which lead us to suggest that the problem of illness among teachers should not be reduced to contexts of medical pathologization and social moralizing so that it may be reframed as a tragic potency regarding the triumphant failure of school, a potency that indelibly carries the ghost of school abolitionism as an ethical and political imperative of a time yet to come.

A presente tese pretende elaborar um modelo libertário em criminologia psicanalítica, buscando uma articulação entre a criminologia psicanalítica e o paradigma criminológico da reação social. Assim, pretende-se construir uma criminologia psicanalítica que, em vez de questionar-se sobre o que leva a pessoa a cometer o crime, associando criminalidade e psicopatologia, coloque seu ferramental teórico a serviço da desconstrução e deslegitimação do sistema punitivo. Ademais, a tese aborda aspectos propriamente clínicos, traçando encaminhamentos para a constituição de uma clínica psicanalítica da vulnerabilidade, tendente a propiciar o fortalecimento do indivíduo perante o sistema punitivo. Para tanto, a tese realiza uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as obras de Sigmund Freud e seus discípulos imediatos, a fim de demonstrar que o modelo criminológico legitimante da punição não se coaduna com a psicanálise freudiana. A partir dessa constatação e da colocação dos desafios consubstanciados no advento do paradigma da reação social, a tese traça encaminhamentos para a instrumentalização da psicanálise em direção à crítica das práticas punitivas institucionais. / This thesis aims to develop a libertarian model in psychoanalytic criminology, seeking a link between the psychoanalytic criminology and the criminological paradigm of social reaction. Thus, the thesis aims to built a psychoanalytic criminology that, instead of questioning about what drives a person to commit the crime, linking crime and psychopathology, puts its theoretical tools in service of the deconstruction and the delegitimization of the punitive system. Moreover, the thesis addresses properly clinical subjects, tracing referrals to the constitution of a \"psychoanalytic clinic of vulnerability\", aimed at providing the empowerment of the individual before the punitive system. Therefore, the thesis makes a review on the works of Sigmund Freud and his immediate disciples, in order to demonstrate that the criminological model that legitimates punishment is inconsistent with Freudian psychoanalysis. Based on this findings and placing the challenges embodied in the advent of the paradigm of social reaction, the thesis traces referrals to the instrumentalization of psychoanalysis toward the critic of institutional punitive practices.
