Humor e artes gráficas: a representação do negro na revista Semana Ilustrada (1860-1876) / Humor and graphic arts: the representation of black people in the magazine Semana Illustrada (1860-1876)Bruna Oliveira Santiago 17 March 2017 (has links)
Esta pesquisa se propõe a analisar a revista Semana Illustrada, dirigida pelo prussiano Henrique Fleiuss, com especial atenção para as representações do negro e do tema da escravidão. O periódico circulou no Rio de Janeiro entre 1860 e 1876 e é pioneiro no que se refere ao uso de imagens na imprensa. As novas tecnologias, associadas à demanda por imagens, incitaram o surgimento e posterior consolidação da imprensa ilustrada. A invenção e a popularização da fotografia evidenciavam uma sociedade ávida por imagens e que estava em pleno processo de transformação e elaboração de uma educação visual. Nesta pesquisa, a reflexão sobre as imagens presentes no periódico Semana Illustrada que se referem ao negro e ao escravo tem como objetivo entender a visão que este veículo de comunicação tinha sobre o assunto, como parte das questões cotidianas da sociedade oitocentista do Rio de Janeiro na segunda metade do século XIX. O contexto brasileiro se revela peculiar, uma vez que se tratava de uma sociedade que se pretendia moderna, mas que convivia ainda com grande contingente de mão de obra escrava. Ao estudar essas imagens, descortina-se a cultura visual de um tempo emblemático para o Brasil. / This research aims to analyse the magazine Semana Illustrada, managed by the prussian Henrique Fleiuss, focusing on the representation of black people and slavery. The magazine circulated in Rio de Janeiro between 1860 and 1876 and plays a pioneer role concerning the use of images in the press. The new technologies associated to the demand for images incited the appearing and consolidation of illustrated press. The invention and popularization of photography evinced a society avid for images and in process of transformation and elaboration of a visual education. This research intends to reflect upon the images found in Semana Illustrada that refers to the black people and the slave in order to understand the vision of this vehicle of communication about the subject as part of social life in Rio de Janeiro by the second half of nineteenth century. The brazilian context is peculiar once there was a society pretending to be modern, that nevertheless cohabited with a big contingent of slave work force. Study this images is to discover the visual culture of an emblematic time for Brazil.

Cativeiros em conflito: crimes e comunidades escravas em Campinas (1850-1888) / Conflicted captivities: crimes and slave communities in Campinas (1850-1888)Maíra Chinelatto Alves 03 July 2015 (has links)
Esta tese investiga comunidades escravas na região de Campinas na segunda metade do século XIX. Através da leitura de depoimentos e interrogatórios de cativos e cativas em documentos judiciais de diferentes tipos reunidos no Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo (AESP) tem como objetivo compreender as dinâmicas sociais e afetivas que envolviam aqueles indivíduos e as variadas experiências vividas por trabalhadores especializados ou não, casados ou solteiros, de sexo masculino ou feminino que viveram escravizados na região. Questionando a ideia de uma existência forçosa de redes de solidariedade e companheirismo advindas simplesmente do fato de experimentarem juntos a escravidão, esta pesquisa procura perceber manifestações por vezes contraditórias de disputas, amizade, envolvimentos afetivos e sexuais, companheirismo e competição que foram registrados nos autos criminais referentes ao período indicado. / This dissertation investigates slave communities in Campinas, Province de São Paulo, in the second half of the Nineteenth century. Through the analysis of depositions and interrogations of male and female slaves registered in different kinds of court documents gathered in the Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo (AESP) this study aims at understanding the social and affective dynamics involving such individuals, as well as the various experiences of skilled or unskilled workers, married or single enslaved men and women who lived in the area. Questioning the idea of an inescapable existence of solidarity and fellowship networks naturally arising from joined experiences of enslavement, this dissertation intends to analyze sometimes contradictory demonstrations of disputes, friendships, sexual and emotional attachment, companionship and competition registered in the documents.

Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Esta dissertação de mestrado teve como objetivo inicial a compreensão de um plano de rebelião escrava, ocorrido em 1848, em uma série de localidades da região conhecida à época como Oeste Paulista. O ano em que as tentativas de rebelião ocorreram foi marcado pela instabilidade política. No Brasil, conservadores e liberais se digladiavam para tentar impor seu modelo de organização ao país. Na Europa, a Revolução de 1848 derrubou as principais casas monárquicas européias, além de acabar com a escravidão nas colônias francesas. Para complexizar o contexto, os ingleses estavam pressionando a sociedade escravista para que acabasse efetivamente o tráfico africano para o Brasil. Entre a escravatura das mais variadas regiões do país, todo esse complexo contexto político, aliado às formas tradicionais de organização comunitária, os encorajou a tentar obter a liberdade por meio de tentativas de insurreições que foram organizadas. Essas ações políticas da escravatura, embora não tenham alcançado sucesso imediato, criaram um ambiente de grande medo e tensão entre a população, pressionando a sociedade oitocentista a analisar mais profundamente o fim do tráfico africano de escravos / Abstract: This dissertation initially aims to understand a plan for a slave rebellion in 1848, in the region then known as Paulista West. That year was marked by political instability. In Brazil, conservatives and liberals battled for political control. In Europe, the Revolutions of 1848 took down the main monarchist regimes and ended slavery in the French colonies. In addition, England was pressing hard to effectively end the transatlantic slave trade. This unstable and complex political context encouraged many slaves from various regions of Brazil to plan insurrections through traditional forms of community organization. In spite of their immediate and apparent failure, the slaves succeeded to create great fear and tension amongst the general population, pressing the 19th century slavery-based Brazilian society to consider more deeply the prospect of putting an end to the transatlantic slave trade / Mestrado / Historia Social / Mestre em História

Les Maîtres du jeu. Le seruus ludificator dans la comédie romaine antique et le valet vedette dans la comédie en France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles / The Masters of the Play. The Seruus Ludificator in Ancient Roman Comedy and the Star-Servant in Comedy in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century FranceCandiard, Céline 11 December 2010 (has links)
En proposant une étude comparée de l’esclave ludificator dans la comédie romaine antique et du valet vedette dans la comédie en France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, ce travail entend rendre compte de la valeur proprement spectaculaire de la convention théâtrale ancienne du serviteur maître du jeu. À la notion de jeu, entendue à la fois comme l’ensemble des facéties du serviteur et comme une modalité de l’activité théâtrale, nous articulerons donc la notion de maîtrise, envisagée aussi bien du point de vue fictionnel du serviteur que du point de vue extra-fictionnel du comédien. La première partie de l’étude fera d’abord apparaître la structuration du rôle de comédie romaine en séquences spectaculaires, en identifiant l’esclave maître du jeu ou ludificator à la combinaison de certaines de ces séquences, puis proposera une interprétation de la convention comique du seruus ludificator comme figuration valorisante de l’activité théâtrale et de l’événement rituel des Jeux. Elle examinera ensuite les diverses variations de cette convention dans les vingt-six comédies du corpus romain. La seconde partie de ce travail, tout en montrant l’importance du modèle romain dans l’élaboration du genre comique en France à partir de la Renaissance, mettra en évidence le poids décisif du contexte théâtral professionnel, et particulièrement du système de vedettariat parisien, dans l’apparition du phénomène de valet vedette dans la comédie et dans son développement marqué tout au long du XVIIe siècle. Elle rendra compte, enfin, de la structuration du rôle en emploi à partir des années 1680 et de l’uniformisation qui en résulte, amenant la convention à disparaître en quelques décennies. / By proposing a comparative study of the ludificator slave in Ancient Roman comedy and of the star-servant in comedies performed in early-modern France, this thesis intends to account for the specifically spectacular value of the ancient theatrical convention of the leading servant. The idea of play, understood both as the servant’s tricks and as theatrical activity itself, is placed in relation to the idea of mastery, regarded both from the fictional point of view of the servant and from the extra-fictional point of view of the actor. The first part of the thesis endeavours to point out the specific structure of Roman comedy roles in spectacular sequences and identifies the leading or ludificator slave as a combination of some particular sequences. It then proposes an interpretation of the comic convention of the seruus ludificator as a promotional representation of theatrical activity and the ritual event of the Ludi. It finally examines the diverse variations of the convention in the twenty-six comedies of the Roman corpus. The second part of this work, although showing the importance of the Roman model in the elaboration of the comic genre in France from the Renaissance, also brings to light the decisive influence of the context of professional theatre, in particular the Parisian “star-system”, in the appearance and strong development of the star-servant phenomenon in seventeenth-century French comedy. Finally, it will account for the transformation of the role into a fixed, institutional part from the 1680s, resulting in a standardisation and progressive disappearance of the convention.

Enlightened Dissent: The Voices of Anti-Imperialism in Eighteenth Century BritainGaiero, Andrew January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation explores and analyzes anti-imperial sentiments in Britain throughout the long eighteenth century. During this period of major British state formation and imperial expansion, there were a surprisingly large number of observers who voiced notable and varied concerns and opposition towards numerous overseas ventures, yet who have not since received significant attention within the historical record. Indeed, many critics of British imperialism and empire-building, from within Britain itself, formed extensive and thoughtful assessments of their own nation’s conduct in the world. Criticism ranged widely, from those who opposed the high economic costs of imperial expansion to those worried that a divine retribution would rain down upon Britain for injustices committed by Britons abroad. Such diversity of anti-imperial perspectives came from a clearly enlightened minority, whose limited influences upon broader public opinions had little effect on policies at the time. Successive British administrations and self-interested Britons who sought their fortunes and adventures abroad, often with little regard for the damage inflicted on those whom they encountered, won the political debate over empire-building. However, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the perspectives of many of these individuals would increasingly become highly regarded. Later generations of reformers, particularly “Little Englanders”, or classical liberals and radicals, would look back reverently to these critics to draw inspiration for refashioning the empire and Britain’s position in the world. These eighteenth century ideas continued to present powerful counter-arguments to the trends then in place and served to inspire those, in the centuries that followed, who sought to break the heavy chains of often despotic colonial rule and mitigate the ravages of war and conquest.

Argonauts of the black Atlantic : representing slavery, modernity, and the colonising momentOsinubi, Taiwo Adetunji 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is a comparative analysis of the uses of tropes of marginality in
American, Caribbean, British, and African fiction that engages with the aftermaths of the
trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery. This study begins by exploring the utility of the
frame of Paul Gilroy's concept of the "black Atlantic" as a heuristic model for
understanding encounters with slavery and the slave trade as phases of an emerging
capitalist modernity. I suggest that, within this heuristic framework, marginality is
always variable, contingent and changing. Several positions of marginality might even
emerge in conflict with each other, since the ideological deployments of slavery in the
U.S., the Caribbean, and in African countries are not always in concert. In fact, it is
through the study of conflicts and tensions between such seemingly unified marginalities
that their differences become discernible. As a result, the common theme in the texts I
examine is the need to create communities of listeners who can discern the
transformations of the colonising moment in the disparate sites of the diaspora. The
practice of listening is a step in apprehending the forms of marginalisation and occlusions
of the violence of colonisation that continue at different sites.
In the five chapters of this dissertation, I read stories by Edgar Allan Poe and
Herman Melville, and novels by Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Caryl Phillips, Maryse
Conde, Joseph Conrad, Ayi Kwei Armah, Amos Tutuola, Yaw Boateng, and Syl Cheney-
Coker. I focus, particularly, on the use of animals, spatial boundaries, literacy, orality,
and tropes of listening in the selected texts. I show that these authors use the opposition
of visual and aural metaphors to draw attention to the limits of their characters'
knowledge in order to highlight the situatedness of each character in processes of
marginalisation that continue to unfold. Further, as much as these narratives excavate the
afterlives of slavery, they are also engaged in the task of differentiating them in order to
identify the necessary site-specific tasks of reparation or repair. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

Os trabalhadores bolivianos em São Paulo: uma abordagem jurídica / Bolivisan workers in São Paulo: a juridical viewGabrielle Louise Soares Timóteo 11 March 2011 (has links)
No atual cenário de globalização são verificadas diversas práticas de exploração laboral. O trabalho escravo é a forma de exploração laboral mais intensa que pode existir nos dias atuais. O tráfico de pessoas é uma prática criminosa crescente em nossa sociedade. No Brasil, em São Paulo, existem casos de trabalhadores imigrantes bolivianos vítimas de tráfico de pessoas e trabalho escravo. Esta pesquisa busca discutir os conceitos de trabalho decente, trabalho escravo, tráfico de pessoas, tráfico de migrantes, com o objetivo de focar na análise da exploração de imigrantes bolivianos em oficinas de costura de São Paulo. É argumentado que estes trabalhadores bolivianos, independentemente de seu status imigratório, possuem direitos laborais que devem ser respeitados. / In the present scenario of globalization many labor exploitation practices take place. Slave labor is the most intensive form of labor exploitation that exists nowadays. Human trafficking is an ascending crime in our society. In Brazil, in Sao Paulo, there are cases of Bolivian immigrant workers victims of human trafficking and slave labor. This research intends to discuss concepts of decent work, slave labor, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, in order to focus on the analyses of the exploitation of Bolivian immigrants in textile sweatshops in Sao Paulo. It is argued that these Bolivian workers, independently of their migratory status, have labor rights that should be respected.

Her Brown Body Is Glory: A Legacy of Healing Forged Through Sisterhood and DanceJanuary 2020 (has links)
abstract: “Her Brown Body Is Glory: A Legacy of Healing Forged Through Sisterhood and
Dance” fondly captures the process of creating the evening length dance project, Her
Brown Body Is Glory (HBBIG). This document addresses many themes, such as
liminality, rites of passage, trauma in the African American community (like the effects
of Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary’s “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) theory), and
provides a perspective of healing rooted in dance, rituals, and community. This research
focuses on dance being the source of intervention to create sisterhood among African
American women of many shades. Throughout the creation of this dance project, the
choreographer and dancers collaboratively generated experiences to cultivate a space of
trust, vulnerability, sisterhood, and growth. The use of written, verbal, and movement
reflection supported this creative process as the main source of ritual to check in with
self, building community amongst the dancers, and generating choreography. The
insertion of these sisterhood rituals into the production became the necessary element of
witness for the audience to experience an authentic and moving performance of Her
Brown Body Is Glory. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2020

Transregional Slave Networks of the Northern Arc, 700–900 C.E.:Delvaux, Matthew C. January 2019 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Robin Fleming / This dissertation charts the movement of slaves from Western Europe, through Scandinavia, and into the frontiers of the Caliphate, a movement which took shape in the early 700s and flourished into the late 800s. The victims of this movement are well attested in texts from either end of their journey, and the movement of everyday things allows us to trace the itineraries they followed. Necklace beads—produced in the east, carried to the north, and worn in the west—serve as proxies for human traffic that traveled the same routes in opposite directions. Attention to this traffic overcomes four impasses—between regional particularism and interregional connectivity; between attention to exchange and focus on production; between privileging textual or material evidence; and between definitions of slavery that obscure practices of enslavement. The introduction outlines problems of studying medieval slavery with regard to transregional approaches to the Middle Ages, the transition to serfdom, and the use of material evidence. Chapter One gathers narrative texts previously dealt with anecdotally to establish patterns for the Viking-Age slave trade, with eastward traffic thriving by the late 800s. Chapter Two confirms these patterns by graphically comparing viking violence to reports of captive taking in the annals and archival documents of Ireland, Francia, and Anglo-Saxon England. Chapter Three investigates how viking captive taking impacted Western societies and the creation of written records in Carolingian Europe. Chapter Four turns to the material record, using beads to trace the intensity and flow of human traffic that fed from early viking violence. Chapter Five establishes a corresponding demand for slaves in the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate through Arabic archival, legal, historical, and geographic texts. The conclusion places this research in the context of global history. By spanning periods, regions, and disciplines, this dissertation brings to focus people who crossed boundaries unwillingly, but whose movements contributed to epochal change. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2019. / Submitted to: Boston College.
