Full textWith several official spaces dedicated to the memory of slavery opening on both sides of the Atlantic over the past two decades, the (in)expressible and (in)visible character of the personal and collective memories of this particular past have become an issue for artists looking to write, film and perform them. Today, “palimpsest” cinema and literature (Genette) is putting the archives and foundational texts (Césaire, Glissant, Louverture, Walcott, etc.) of these living memories back in motion, in a process of decomposition and recomposition open to the future.Because of the violence of transatlantic deportation, the uprooting from Africa and the joint exploitation of bodies and lands, relationships – and in particular the relationships to environment, location and space– form part of both the difficulty and necessity for artistic approaches that work on these memories within a postcolonial context deeply tied to ecological issues. Starting from an echopoetic study, this research aims to bring attention to experiences of contemporary wakes, the night and Glissant’s “deep” (under the sea, under the ground and up in the sky) that the pieces of Fabienne Kanor and the collective The Living and the Dead Ensemble invite us into. From places of opacity, déparler, darkness and kinesics (Paul Gilroy), these artistic approaches make it possible for the singularities of the memories of slavery to become part of a space of resonance and sharing, within a vivid relationship to the past that opens up new paths across and even beyond Atlantic space

Full textThis study analyzes situations involving the recognition of quilombolos (technically, descendents of runaway slaves) under article 68 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution. Starting from an ethnographic study, carried out in a local context – Morro Alto/RS – I consider the re-reading of the historical experience of slavery which has urged negro social groups onto a scenario of legal claims which, until recently, had not been foreseen by state law. I look into the social and juridical dynamics involved in the implementation of this constitutional article to see if, in normative and discursive aspects, it has encouraged lines of dialogue with the actors´(social groups´) own notions of justice and rights, allowing them to enter into national debates. I also reflect on the visibility of the historical negro presence in Brazil by consulting registers produced by a series of social actors, including anthropologists (who contribute with judicial consultancies), and a number of governmental and non-governmental organizations. I thus focus on the terms, positions and new configurations of knowledge-power implied in the present reality of rights claims. Taking into consideration the new perspectives projected onto the “historical past”, I investigate the re-enactments and the disputes of meaning with which the different sectors of society reflect on and relate with justice, law and historical narrative as filtered through the memory of quilombolas.

Full textDuring the more than three hundred years that the transatlantic slave trade lasted, from the XVIth to the XIXth century, more than twelve million people were deported from the African continent to serve as labor in the plantations of sugar cane, cotton, as well as in “New World” mines. It is considered that 4.800,000 Africans have landed in Brazil, or 43% of the total deportees. More recent studies on the biographies of slaves, retrace the individual itineraries of the captives as well as their steps to regain freedom. The reconstruction of their journey gives them humanity, while restoring their dignity. We are inspired by this methodology to complete our doctoral researcher on the biography of Osifekunde, a trader from the Ijebu ethnic groupe (from southwestern present-day Nigeria), enslaved in Brazil in 1820 and become a free man in France in 1837. To do this, we divided our researcher into six parts and each part is subdivided intro three chapters: In the first part we presented observations on biographical studies in France after the 1970s, in particular on the biographies of slaves, on the use of the microhistorical method in this latest research and the fields of research on the biographies of slaves in the United States, Brazil and France. In a second part, we tried to understand how the interior of Africa became the center of interest of the “Scientifical Societies” and consequently, how the members of these societies used the testimonies of slaves in their studies, in order to find very remote places like the city of Timbuktu or the source of the Niger river, to propagate the idea of the African as “wild, anthropophagous,” which could justify the civilizing argument, used by Europeans to colonize the Africa

We construct the history of Grilo community in which we seek to value the stories of black men and women, their struggles, their everyday lives. We to emphasize the memories and cultural practices that, any way, were attached to the past of slavery and helped in the construction of their ethnic identity. In this sense, the fírst way, we weave a thread regarding the issue of slavery, over the term maroons and its aftermath until the present day, moreover, present the reader with the Grilo community, describe the place and its people. In the second way, we analyzed the memories of two former slaves who toured the community and, through these reports, discussed on the daily lives of these former slaves, reflect this collective memory that helps in the identities of the community. In the third part, we highlight the labyrinth and pottery, reflect the importance of these cultural practices as a factor that refort the ties of sociability and collaborated on construction of their identities. In our fourth and last road reserve to reflect the festivities of preschools in the community. So, at work, we think how the memories connected to the slave past and the cultural practices of the community collaborated in the formation of their ethnic identity.
Neste trabalho construímos a história da comunidade Grilo, no qual buscamos valorizar as histórias de homens e mulheres negras, suas lutas, seus conflitos, seu cotidiano. Procuramos dar ênfase às memórias e práticas culturais que, de algum modo, permaneceram ligadas ao passado escravista e contribuíram na construção da sua identidade étnica. Neste sentido, no primeiro caminho, tecemos uma discussão no tocante à temática da escravidão, sobre o termo quilombo e seus desdobramentos até os dias atuais, além disso, apresentamos a comunidade Grilo ao leitor, descrevemos o lugar e sua gente. No segundo caminho, analisamos as memórias sobre dois ex-escravos que percorreram a comunidade e, através desses relatos, tratamos sobre o cotidiano desses ex-escravos, refletimos que esta memória coletiva contribui nas identidades da comunidade. No terceiro caminho, destacamos o labirinto e a cerâmica, refletimos a importância dessas práticas culturais como um fator que reforçou os laços de sociabilidades e colaborou na construção das suas identidades. Em nosso quarto e último caminho reservamos a reflexão às festas de cirandas na comunidade. Assim, no trabalho, buscamos pensar como as memórias ligadas ao passado escravista e as práticas culturais da comunidade colaboraram na constituição da sua identidade étnica.

Full textThe transatlantic slave trade has never been studied in a criminology way. In fact, with the exception to history, few disciplines in the social sciences and human studies have made interest to study the surrounding events of the slave trade. However, recent studies have begun to seize the multiple victimizations (physical and psychological attacks) undergone by Blacks during the transatlantic slave trade. We postulate that criminology can also contribute to a better understanding of the transatlantic slave trade, therefore, this study aims to evaluate Afro-descendants perceptions of the transatlantic slave trade victimizations and effects. The qualitative interview data clearly illustrates that the slave trade does not belong to the past. It is quite the contrary, the slave trade is still vivid on the spirits and the hearts. The atlantic slave trade effects hit the Afro-descendants in their daily life by means of low self esteem, low self confidence, skin color hierarchy, internal racism and self hatred. Consequently, all respondents argue for, at least, a form of reparation (monetary, ethical or political, historical, educational, pscychological, diplomatic) for the atlantic slave trade and its consequences. The data, moreover, shows that there is a division in the representations of the atlantic slave trade between those who believe the functionalist approach and those who believe the intentionalist approach, and also differences of representations according to the ethnic group (African or Carraibean).
