Orientador: Claudinei Magno Magre Mendes / Banca: Milton Carlos Costa / Banca: Lupércio Antônio Pereira / Resumo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a visão dos jesuítas a respeito da escravidão africana com base nos escritos dos inacianos André João Antonil, Jorge Benci e Antonio Vieira, que refletiram sobre o assunto em questão à luz da conjuntura colonial do século XVII. Notamos em seus textos uma crítica, não à escravidão em si, mas ao modo como esta se dava na prática, e uma proposta de mudança na forma como os senhores tratavam seus cativos. Reconhecendo a importância da Companhia de Jesus enquanto instituição atuante na América Portuguesa, pretendemos comparar as propostas dos religiosos com a legislação vigente e com a vida no mundo dos engenhos de açúcar, debatendo os limites e possibilidades de interferência de uma instituição religiosa em instituições civis / Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the vision of the jesuits about african slavery based on the writings of André João Antonil, Jorge Benci and Antonio Vieira, who reflected on the matter in question in light of the colonial situation of the seventeenth century. We noted in their texts a critique, not to slavery itself, but the way it was in this practice, and a proposed change in the way you treated their captives. Recognizing the importance of the Society of Jesus as an institution active in Portuguese America, we intend to compare the proposals of the religious with the law and with life in the world of sugar mills, debating the limits and possibilities of interference from a religious institution in civil institutions / Mestre

The work deals with the system of slavery in ancient Israel. The first part describes the history of this country and development of its society including specific categories of slaves that used to be part of it. It deals with the houshold slaves in the possession of their owners, as well as slaves-for-debts. In connection with a debt slavery the thesis also elaborates on the Old Testament Israel loan system. The next part concerns a detailed analysis of various regulations for treating slaves, which are divided according to the particular books of the Old Testament where they can be found. The results are then summarized in the conclusion.

This study explores an emancipatory politics of being human by asking what is at stake for a world predicated on the human being as subject. I commence with a critique of modernity and its tenet of human exceptionalism as the logical basis for our separation from social, ecological, and material others. Inextricable from these others, humans, I argue, are assemblages that merit representation as such. I demonstrate this by recruiting two human faculties conventionally considered evidence for both our human exceptionalism, or separation from perceived others, and its correlate of subjectivity: memory and emotion. I then demonstrate how even emotion and memory, as supposed wellsprings of subjectivity, in effect undermine the very premise of it in light of their assemblaged nature. I situate this study in Mauritania, where I investigate the politics and spatialities of slavery and abolition. There, I demonstrate how memories, emotions, and the humans that experience them are both consituents and products of human-environment assemblages. I then reveal both the discursive and material repercussions of remembering, feeling, and representing the world as subjects separate from this world. Finally, I suggest alternative avenues for geographic research in pursuit of a politics of being human beyond the human being as subject.
