Como a obra foi publicada no início de 1871, o intento da pesquisa foi estudar a experiência parlamentar que precedeu a produção do romance, em 1870. Como metodologia de pesquisa, fez-se o cotejo entre O tronco do ipê e os anais parlamentares de 1870, que, por sua vez, foram estudados em seu veículo original de publicação, as páginas do Jornal do Commercio. Com isso, buscava-se uma relação mais densa entre os debates e sua repercussão na imprensa, a procura de um contexto amplo no qual inserir a produção literária. A dissertação analisa a forma como as discussões em torno da exoneração de José de Alencar do cargo de ministro da Justiça afetaram a produção de O tronco do ipê, dentre outras obras publicadas a partir do final de 1870, bem como a crítica à política imperial inserida no romance. Nesse contexto, formula-se uma hipótese acerca do surgimento do pseudônimo Sênio. Além disso, principalmente, a dissertação examina a relação que o romance de Alencar estabelece com os debates em torno da emancipação escrava no início da década de 1870, assim como o sentido político da representação da escravidão e das personagens escravas em O tronco do ipê / Abstract: This dissertation explores the relations between O tronco do ipê, a novel by José de Alencar, and the political experience of the novelist as a congressman and as former State Minister. As the novel was published in the beginning of the year of 1871, the intention was to study the parliamentary experience which preceded the writing of the novel, in 1870. As a research method we confronted O tronco do ipê with the 1870 parliamentary annals, which, in their turn, were studied at their original context, in the pages of Jornal do Commercio. The aim was to search for a more complex dialogue between the parliamentary discourses and its reverberation in the press, looking for a wide context in which to situate the literary production. The dissertation studies the ways in which Alencar¿s political experiences affected the writing of O tronco do ipê, as well as the political criticism inserted in the book. In this context it formulates a hypothesis about the appearing of the pseudonym Sênio. Moreover, the dissertation analyses the relation that Alencar¿s novel develops with the political debates about the slave emancipation in the beginning of 1870¿s, as well as the political meanings of the representations of slavery and slave characters in O tronco do ipê / Mestrado / Historia Social / Mestra em História

Este fenômeno indica uma valorização deste espaço por parte dos angolas, mais do que por qualquer outro grupo de africanos. A identificação com as confrarias católicas aponta para a importância do catolicismo na África Central e, ao mesmo tempo, ressalta este elemento como fundamental na constituição de uma identidade particular dentro da comunidade escrava e da sociedade baiana em geral. Esta tese também discute esta identificação na experiência dos escravos no Reino, sugerindo uma perspectiva de investigação da história da devoção ao Rosário, das confrarias negras e da identidade angola ao longo do século XVIII e circulando por três continentes / Abstract: The Rosary brotherhoods in Bahia, from the first foundations in the middle of the XVIIIth century to the end of the XIXth century, were mostly controlled by Africans from Angola and their Creole partners. That shows a valuation of this place by the Angolans more than any other African group. The identification with Catholic brotherhoods points to the importance of Catholicism in Central Africa and, at the same time, reveals this characteristic as a fundamental one in the constitution of a particular identity inside the slave community and Bahian society in general. This dissertation discusses, also, this identification in the slave experience in the Portuguese kingdom, and suggests a singular perspective for the historical investigation of the Rosary devotion, the black brotherhoods and the Angolan identity during the XVIIIth century, over three continents / Doutorado / Historia Social / Doutor em História

Dentre as práticas mágicas realizadas pelos africanos e crioulos no Império Português, tiveram destaque os amuletos em formato de bolsinha contendo ingredientes que protegiam contra armas e doenças. Sua popularidade atiçou os inquisidores do Santo Oficio que a denominou bolsa de mandinga, e os confeccionadores de mandingueiros, e interpretaram a prática como uma manifestação de feitiçaria. Essa pesquisa propõe uma análise das bolsas de mandinga utilizadas nas sociedades atlânticas como resultado da recriação de tradições africanas no mundo do cativeiro e da circulação de saberes entre africanos de diferentes origens, a partir de um fundamento da cultura banto associada ao cristianismo. / Among the magical practices done by Africans and Creoles in the Portuguese Empire, we can point out charms in shape of small bags containing specific ingredients that protected against harm made by guns and illness. Their popularity intrigued the Inquisition and their agents had called them bolsa de mandinga, and the people who made them mandingueiros, interpreting those practices as manifestations of sorcery. This research tries to analyze the bolsas de mandinga utilized in the Atlantic societies as a result of the recreation of African traditions in the world of slavery and circulation of knowledge related to Africans from different origins, based in a Bantu culture associated with Christianity.

To what extent does Margaret Atwood draw from American slavery to write The Handmaid's Tale? How does Offred's narrative compare with traditional slave narratives, and to what effect? This thesis explores intersectionality (or lack thereof) in The Handmaid's Tale and compares Offred's narrative to traditional slave narratives to find answers to why Atwood chose to draw from American slavery to write her novel in the first place. Offred's narrative is compared to three traditional slave narratives written/orated by three women, Harriet Jacobs, Hannah Crafts, and Mary Prince, to demonstrate how enslavement dehumanizes Offred in similar or different ways to these three women, and to reveal how the enslavement of and violence committed against the female slave body ultimately deforms even the most intimate human relationships in both Gilead and in historical American slavery. I discuss other tactics used to maintain control of the slaves both in Gilead and in historical American slavery, with particular emphasis on the development of justifications for enslavement in both societies. Violence against the body is not enough in Gilead, so Gilead implements religious rhetoric and controls knowledge to maintain its control of the Handmaids. Despite being used to control, religion also becomes a source of comfort and resistance for the women in each of these societies. In addition, narrativity and voice are acts of resistance when slaves/ex-slaves orate/write their narratives and publish them during their own time to combat slavery; however, unlike many traditional slave narratives, Atwood chooses to have Offred's narrative discovered after the Gileadean regime falls. This thesis explores Atwood's choice and her possible message to her readers about the importance of sharing their stories during their time.

This study examines the ancient Greeks’ attitudes to children during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. The investigation is limited to literary sources in selected pre-Christian texts. Problems which might bias interpretation have been noted. Parent-child relationships, as revealed in literary examples of parental love and concern, are of particular interest. Hazards affecting survival in early childhood, and factors which influenced attitudes regarding the fetus, abortion, exposure and infanticide are considered. Legal, political and socio-economic factors are amongst motivating forces. Childhood experiences such as education, sport, pederasty, step-families, slaves and slavery, preparation for marriage, and deprivation due to war and environmental factors are also examined. Ancient attitudes to children are compared with modern attitudes to children in similar situations prevailing in Western culture in the 21st century. The findings reveal that basic human behaviour has changed little over the millennia; however, factors influencing attitudes have undergone some change as society evolved.

The study critically investigated the concept of ―Double Consciousness‖ in selected African-American autobiographies. In view of the latter, W.E.B. Du Bois defined double consciousness as a condition of being both black and American which he perceived as the reason black people were/are being discriminated in America. The study demonstrated that creative works such as Harriet Jacobs‘ Incidents in the Life of Slave Girl: Told by Herself, Frederick Douglass‘ The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois‘ The Souls of Black Folk, Booker T. Washington‘s Up from Slavery, Langston Hughes‘ The Big Sea, Zora Neale Hurston Dust Tracks on a Road, Malcolm X‘s The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Maya Angelou‘s All God’s Children Need Travelling Shoes, Cornel West‘s Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud and bell hooks‘ Bone Black affirm double consciousness as well as critiqued the concept, revealing new layers of identities and contested sites of struggle in African-American society. The study used a qualitative method to analyse and argue that there are ideological shifts that manifest in the creative representation of the idea of double consciousness since slavery. Some relevant critical voices were used to support, complicate and question the notion of double consciousness as represented in selected autobiographies. The study argued that there are many identities in the African-American communities which need attention equal to that of race. The study further argued that double consciousness has been modified and by virtue of this, authors suggested multiple forms of consciousness. / English Studies
