No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 6 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / As relações escravo-senhor sempre geraram controvérsias na historiografia. Mais “conservadores” ou não todos admitem que por mais “severo” que o sistema escravista possa parecer, não podemos excluir o movimento de seus agentes. Nenhuma trajetória, seja ela individual ou de grupo, pode ser analisada a partir de suas normas. Normatizar as atitudes dos indivíduos, fazendo com que eles percam seu caráter de destino individual e passem a ter comportamentos típicos de um determinado grupo, nos impede a tentativa de reconstruir contextos históricos e sociais. Com base nestas premissas se desenvolve este trabalho, que busca perceber como os primeiros povoadores do Rio Grande, estabelecidos na região de Santo Antônio da Patrulha, se relacionavam com seus escravos. E pretende analisar a comunidade negra (cativa ou não) da região que abrangia a freguesia de Santo Antônio da Patrulha, no período de 1773 a 1824, enfocando o estabelecimento de laços familiares e a constituição de redes de parentesco. Trataremos com destaqu / The relations between slave and Mr. had always generated controversies in the historiografia. Some more “conservatives” then others, everybody admits that for more “severe” the escravista system seems to be, we cannot exclude his agents movement. No trajectory, either individual or in group, can be analyzed from its norms. Restore to normal the individual attitudes, making tham loosing its individual character of destination and start to have typical behaviors of a defined group, prevents the attempt to reconstruct historical and social contexts. Based in this premisses this work has been desenvolved, searching to perceive how the first settlers of the Great River, established in the region of Saint Antonio of the Patrol, has related with their slaves. This work also intends to analyze the region that enclosed the clientele of Saint Antonio of the Patrol black community (captive or not), in the period of 1773 the 1824, focusing the familiar bows establishment and the kinship nets constitution.

The first chapter examines the rise of the wealthy Charlestonians and the origins of their taste for fashionable goods. The second chapter explores the increased use of enslaved craftsmen in Charleston cabinetmaking shops during the last half of the eighteenth century and how they affected the production of fashionable cabinet goods.

This study examined the amount of European genetic admixture in the enslaved African population from Newton Plantation, Barbados. Newton Plantation was a British sugar plantation from the 17th to 19th centuries. Approximately 150 individuals were recovered from an unmarked slave cemetery during archaeological investigations in the 1970s and 1990s. Using maximum mesiodistal and buccolingual tooth measurements of the available teeth from the individuals in the cemetery, Newton was compared to nineteen comparative samples of African, European, African American and European American populations that date from the time of British colonization to the 20th century. Previous European admixture estimations in the Newton Plantation cemetery sample were 5-10% (Corruccini et al., 1982; Ritter, 1991); this study found similar rates of admixture in the population (5.38-10.25%). Because of social practices in the Caribbean during the time of slavery, European admixture could have resulted in preferential treatment of slaves with such genetic background.

The true nineteenth-century story of the Underground Railroad begins in the South and is spread North by free blacks, escaping southern slaves, and displaced, white, anti-slavery Protestant evangelicals. This study examines the role of free blacks, escaping slaves, and white Protestant evangelicals influenced by tenants of Kentucky’s Second Great Awakening who were inspired, directly or indirectly, to aid in African American community building. The impact of Kentucky’s Great Revival resulted in creation and expansion of systems of escape commonly referred to as the “Underground Railroad” which led to self-emancipation among enslaved African Americans, the establishment of free black settlements in the South, North, within Kentucky borderlands, and the Mid- West, and resulting in the eventual outbreak of a Civil War. An examination of slave narratives, escaping slave ads, the history of American religious societies, as well as examination of denominational doctrines, policies, public views, and actions regarding American slavery confirmed the impact of Kentucky’s 1797 Great Revival on freeing slaves, creating black church congregations, establishment of antislavery churches, and benevolent societies throughout Kentucky and the Mid-West. These newly formed churches and societies spread the gospel of black freedom beyond Kentucky into Western Territories particularly Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The spread of an evangelical religious message and the violent displacement of white and black antislavery advocates had the unintended consequence of aiding freedom seeking slaves in the formation of independent, black settlements and religious societies, not only in Kentucky but also in the North and West. This work acknowledges the central role Kentucky played in providing two of the three acknowledged and well-documented national Underground Railroad escape corridors which successfully ran through eastern Kentucky’s Appalachian Mountains and within the core of the state’s Western and Central Bluegrass Regions.

The study of gynecological resistance as an integral part of the slave community has frequently been ignored in studies of the plantation South. Slave women actively engaged in both collective and individual acts of gynecological resistance. This work, "Dat's one chile of mine you ain't never gonna sell: Gynecological Resistance in the Plantation Community", explores enslaved women's use of birth control, abortion, and infanticide as a means to gain personal autonomy and control over their bodies. This study seeks to forge a collective narrative about the secret practices of slave women, while attempting to give them a voice of their own. Relying primarily on the WPA slave narratives, as well as the Virginia Plantation records, this thesis first seeks to examine cases of gynecological resistance, as well as the motivations behind these acts. This thesis argues that enslaved women used gynecological resistance as a means to maintain some personal autonomy and control over their bodies, as well as the bodies of their children. The study illustrates that these individual acts became collective resistance, when the community worked to aid and protect women, who committed acts of gynecological resistance by keeping their secrets from the master. Finally, this thesis demonstrates how individual acts of resistance became collective, or day-to-day, in the forms of oral narratives about gynecological resistance that were passed along for the purposes of instruction. / Master of Arts

Na atual emergência da construção de um discurso social requerido para a identidade de remanescentes de quilombos, este trabalho busca refletir sobre as resistências dos trabalhadores escravizados na região mineradora do rio Guaporé, na Capitania de Mato Grosso, entre a fundação de Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade em 1752 e anos iniciais do século 19, tendo como suporte fontes arqueológicas, documentais escritas e de memória. Propõe evidenciar as bases materiais para a construção de táticas de resistência e contraponto à estrutura repressora administrativa/senhorial escravista, e a partir delas o surgimento de quilombos como sua forma mais elaborada. Traz ainda uma possível interpretação dessa construção social em confluência com a invenção de uma economia mineradora paralela ao sistema colonial ao estabelecer os assentamentos quilombolas sobre terrenos auríferos. Ao final, sugere a existência na cidade de um reordenamento interno de falas autorizadas e ainda o surgimento de discursos a reconstruir um passado quilombola necessário. / The master\'s dissertation aims at discussing resistance strategies by enslaved workers, at the mining areas at Mato Grosso, since 1752 until the beginning of the 19th.c. The dissertation uses archaeological evidence and documents. It also aims at exploring the material culture strategies used by slaves to resist oppression, during colonial rule. It also studies maroons as a main resistance strategy, relating those settlements to alternative mining practices, out of colonial control. Last but not least, the dissertation explores the ways discourses about the past contribute to reconstruct maroon past experiences.

This submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy focuses on works for large instrumental ensemble in conjunction with the voice. Instrumental ensemble and vocal mediums such as the orchestral art song, the song cycle and the opera in one act, provide platforms to explore the expressiveness of the lyrical dramatic voice and the dialectic tension between composing for the solo voice with a range of instrumental ensemble forces. The portfolio of compositions includes the orchestral song, The Woman Who Refused to Dance; the orchestral song trilogy, Spirit Songs; and the opera in one act, Queen Nanny of the Maroons. Issues of composition technique, vocal expression and operatic narrative are examined and in addition the three named works explore notions of post-colonial heroic representation of subjects that might not usually attract ideological recognition in Western European art music contexts. Methods for developing inclusive, post-modern musical language for the mixed instrumental and vocal ensemble are explored; including the employment of spoken word expression and the integration of popular music idioms within contemporary Western European art music contexts. In the writing of lyrics for the songs and libretto for the opera, increased responsibility is assumed in the completion of vocal works in addition to musical consideration to find the effects on the works when the roles of composer and writer are combined. With the opera in one act for solo voice, forming the major contribution to the portfolio, critical components that lead to effective music drama are assessed.

O escravismo colonial brasileiro durou mais de três séculos e foi determinante não só por moldar a sociedade na época, como por causar um grande impacto sobre as línguas, sobretudo as faladas pelos trabalhadores africanos escravizados. Por esse e outros motivos, pode se dizer que praticamente não existem registros escritos sobre as línguas e práticas linguageiras dos cativos. Esta dissertação de mestrado, que tem como base teórica a Sociolinguística e a Sociolinguística Histórica, analisa como as classes dominantes perceberam e registraram as práticas linguageiras dos africanos escravizados e libertos em escritos produzidos entre o século XIX e meados do século XX. Para isso, busca-se compreender o processo histórico-social da escravidão de africanos no Brasil, que vai desde a chegada dos primeiros africanos até a Abolição, além da situação sociolinguística dos períodos colonial e imperial brasileiros. A partir das principais características das relações sociais escravistas e da realidade sociolinguística resultante do impacto do escravismo, elaboram-se considerações no que se refere às esferas sociais em que os trabalhadores escravizados circulavam, as suas reais possibilidades de comunicação, ao modo como geriam as situações que envolviam as línguas, às chances de praticar e transmitir suas línguas, etc Por fim, analisa-se a percepção das classes dominantes sobre as línguas africanas e os hábitos de linguagem dos africanos escravizados em escritos de intelectuais, como gramáticas, ensaios e dicionários. Podem-se destacar duas das conclusões. A primeira, é que a escravidão colonial brasileira e os escravizados, que sustentaram todas as atividades nos meios rural e urbano, foram e continuam a ser minimizados de diversas formas. A segunda, é que o princípio da pureza da língua foi criado e seguido pelas classes dominantes para fazer uma separação de classes através da língua, sem considerar que os escravizados tiveram um aprendizado difícil da língua portuguesa, o que resultou no português que se fala hoje no Brasil. / The Brazilian colonial slavery lasted more than three centuries and it determined the society of the time and caused a considerable impact on languages, especially on those spoken by the enslaved African workers. For this and other reasons, it is possible to say that there are not written records about the languages and the practice of languages of the captives. This Masters dissertation, which has Sociolinguistics and Historical Sociolinguistics as theoretical basis, analyses how the ruling classes perceived and recorded the practices of languages of the enslaved and freed African in written productions between the nineteenth and the mid twentieth centuries. To do so, it is essencial to understand the historical and social process of African slavery in Brazil, since the arrival of the first African until the Abolition, also the sociolinguistic situation of the colonial and imperial periods. Through the main characteristics of the slave social relations and the impact of slavery and its resulting sociolinguistic reality, it is elaborated considerations about the social sphere in which the enslaved workers were, their real possibilities of communication, the way they managed the situations involving languages, the chances to practice and to transmit their languages, etc. Lastly, it is analysed the perception of the ruling classes about African languages and language habit in written records, as grammars, essays and dictionaries. It is possible to highlight two of the conclusions. First, the Brazilian colonial slavery and the enslaved, that sustained all the activities in rural and urban environment, were and continue to be minimized in various ways. Second, the principle of purity of the language was criated and followed by the ruling class to separate classes through language, without considering that the slaved had a tough learning of Portuguese language, fact that resulted in the Portuguese spoken nowadays in Brazil.

There was as objective to examine the historical experiences of the captive women from Paraíba province. Also, making women’s presence in the trade of enslaved people in the province and their actions to achieve freedom, mainly through escape, between 1850(effective end of the Atlantic traffic) and 1888 (abolition of slavery in Brazil). Besides that, we tried to understand how was the process of commercialization of captives in the province was carried out by observing the values of taxes, regulations, who participated in this trade, the place where the captive was transferred, among other issues. In this way, based on pertinent historiography, quantitative and qualitative analyzes, this work was also based on English Social History. For this, we analyze sources such as: Half-Sized Books (taxes) of enslaved people marketed inside and outside the province of Paraíba, Reports of Province President and Paraíba newspapers. The last decades of the twentieth century were know by an intense sociopolitical transformations that allowed the social visibility of women and the black population, and the incorporation of them as themes in the historiographic production, mainly, from the 1980s. In view of this, studies and researches were indispensable for the historical recovery of importance and participation of black women in Brazilian society. / O presente trabalho foi elaborado na Linha de Pesquisa de História e Regionalidades, tendo como objetivo examinar as experiências históricas das cativas na província da Paraíba do Norte, visibilizando a presença feminina no comércio de compra e venda de pessoas escravizadas na província, e suas ações para alcançar a liberdade, principalmente, por meio da fuga, entre os anos de 1850 (fim efetivo do tráfico Atlântico) e 1888 (abolição da escravidão do Brasil). Além disso, buscou-se compreender como se dava o processo de comercialização de pessoas cativas na província paraibana, observando os valores dos impostos, os regulamentos, quem participava desse comércio, o lugar para qual o(a) cativo(a) era transferido, entre outras questões. Embasado na História Social Inglesa, o estudo foi realizado a partir de análises quantitativas e qualitativas, e cruzamento de fontes. Para isto, analisou-se registros como: Livros de Meia Sisa (impostos) de pessoas escravizadas comercializadas dentro e fora da província da Paraíba, Relatórios de Presidente de Província e jornais paraibanos. As últimas décadas do século XX foram marcadas por intensas transformações sociopolíticas que possibilitaram a visibilidade social da mulher e da população negra, e também a incorporação dos mesmos como temas na produção historiográfica, principalmente, a partir da década de 1980. No entanto, ainda existem muitas lacunas na historiografia brasileira acerca das experiências e vivências das mulheres negras e escravizadas. Tornaram-se imprescindíveis estudos e pesquisas para a recuperação histórica da participação e importância das mulheres negras na sociedade brasileira, visto isso, é tentando preencher uma dessas lacunas que o presente trabalho foi construído.
