Despite moral criticism of the institution of slavery from the second half of the 18th century, slavery, racism, and liberalism would be mutually defined throughout the 19th century. The slave economy in the Americas grew in the 19th century as a result of the expansion of the world market, sustained by constitutional states, including two national ones: the Brazilian Empire, a constitutional monarchy, and the United States, a republic. In these national states, representative systems would shape the legitimacy of the institution of slavery, relating the adoption of citizenship rights to processes of racialization. In Brazil’s late colonial period, more than one-half of the free population was defined as “black” or “brown,” and manumission rates were as high as 1 percent per year. Under Portuguese colonial rule, this population of color was denied access to public offices and ecclesiastical positions, but allowed to own slaves. The rallying cry of “equality for people of all colors” served as a cornerstone of popular nationalism in the liberal uprisings of the late Brazilian colonial period. Popular liberalism also called for the passage of laws that would recognize the Brazilian-born sons and daughters of enslaved people as free persons. After independence, the Brazilian Empire experienced more than twenty years of political struggles and localized civil wars around the construction of representative political institutions. The Brazilian coffee production boom inaugurated in 1830, allowed the consolidation of the monarchical order in Brazil with the rise to power of a conservative party, the Party of Order, in 1837. From 1837 to 1853, this conservative party consolidated a slave-based national identity. During these years of conservative pro-slavery leadership, political strategies to legitimate the continuation of the Atlantic slave trade were developed and illegal enslavement was tolerated and even encouraged. Liberalism, race, and slavery shaped the history of the Atlantic world in a very interconnected way. Despite the non-race-based legitimation of slavery in a Catholic and constitutional monarchy, race was a central issue in 19th-century monarchical Brazil. Slavery was legitimated as a historical institution in the Brazilian Constitution of 1824 in the right to own property. The same constitution guaranteed civil rights to the freedmen born in the country and their descendants, denying, however, Brazilian citizenship for free Africans and political citizenship to former slaves born in Brazil. Eventually, after the end of the transatlantic slave trade in 1850, the state bureaucracy adopted a norm of racial silence for the free population, racializing slave experience and reinforcing the precariousness of freedom of the Brazilian citizens of African descent. These practices shaped crucial aspects of structural racism still present in 21st-century Brazilian society.
尽管从18世纪下半叶开始就有对奴隶制的道德批评,但在整个19世纪,奴隶制、种族主义和自由主义是相互定义的。19世纪,由于世界市场的扩张,美洲的奴隶经济得到了发展,并得到了宪政国家的支持,其中包括两个国家:君主立宪制的巴西帝国和共和政体的美国。在这些民族国家,代议制将塑造奴隶制制度的合法性,将公民权的采用与种族化过程联系起来。在巴西的殖民后期,超过一半的自由人口被定义为“黑人”或“棕色人种”,每年的人口流失率高达1%。在葡萄牙殖民统治下,这些有色人种被拒绝担任公职和教会职务,但允许拥有奴隶。在巴西殖民时期晚期的自由主义起义中,“所有肤色的人都享有平等”的战斗口号成为了大众民族主义的基石。大众自由主义还呼吁通过法律,承认在巴西出生的奴隶子女为自由人。巴西帝国独立后,围绕代议制政治制度的建设,经历了二十多年的政治斗争和局部内战。巴西咖啡生产的繁荣始于1830年,随着保守派政党秩序党(party of order)于1837年掌权,巴西的君主制得以巩固。从1837年到1853年,这个保守党巩固了以奴隶为基础的国家认同。在保守派支持奴隶制领导的这些年里,制定了使大西洋奴隶贸易合法化的政治策略,容忍甚至鼓励非法奴役。自由主义、种族和奴隶制以一种相互关联的方式塑造了大西洋世界的历史。尽管在天主教和君主立宪制国家,奴隶制不以种族为基础,但在19世纪的君主制国家巴西,种族是一个核心问题。在1824年的巴西宪法中,奴隶制作为一种历史制度在拥有财产的权利中被合法化。同样的宪法保证了在巴西出生的自由人及其后代的公民权利,但是剥夺了自由非洲人的巴西公民身份和在巴西出生的前奴隶的政治公民身份。最终,在1850年跨大西洋奴隶贸易结束后,国家官僚机构对自由人口采取了种族沉默的规范,使奴隶经历种族化,并加强了非洲裔巴西公民自由的不稳定性。这些做法形成了21世纪巴西社会中仍然存在的结构性种族主义的关键方面。

What happened after slavery in the first slave society of the Americas? How did the abolition process shape post-abolition Brazilian society? On September 28, 1871 the Lei do Ventre Livre (Free Womb Law) signaled the end for slavery in Brazil. It created, for the effects of the compensation of slave owners, a general registration of the last slaves, which shows that Brazil officially recognized around a million and a half of them in 1872. How did these last enslaved workers live and politically influence the legal process that resulted in their freedom? Certainly they did so, since between flights, negotiations, and conflicts, the number of slaves fell by half over the following years. In this process, conditional manumission letters became almost like labor contracts, the results of negotiations between slaves and slave owners which gave expectations of freedom to some and prolonged the exploitation of the labor of others. In 1887, abolition seemed inescapable. En masse flights of the last slaves made it a fact, recognized by law on May 13, 1888. How could social relations be reinvented after the collapse of the institution which had structured the country, in all its aspects, since colonization? This dismantling would have consequences that were not only economic but would also redesign the logic of power and the architecture of a society willing to maintain distinct types of citizenship. Old experiences of racism and citizenship were redefined in the process. Former slave owners fought for compensation for their lost property until Rui Barbosa, an old abolitionist and minister of finance of the first republican government, decided to burn the registration documentation in 1889, thereby preventing any compensation proposal for around seven hundred thirty thousand slaves freed by the abolition law. With the Republic (1889), a new racialized rhetoric narrated abolition as the product of the republican action of the “emancipating race,” which guaranteed freedom without conflict to the “emancipated race.” It thus made invisible not only the fundamental action of the last slaves, but also the demographically majoritarian status of the free Afro-descendants in the Brazilian population, evident in the action of numerous black abolitionists. For Afro-Brazilians, the struggle remained to define their place and rights in society. More recently, the political action of the Brazilian black movement in the commemorations of the centenary of abolition (1988) established the idea of incomplete abolition, defining May 13 as the date of the struggle against racial inequality in the country and consolidating the post-abolition period as a field of historiographic research.
美洲第一个奴隶社会在奴隶制之后发生了什么?废除死刑的过程如何塑造了废除死刑后的巴西社会?1871年9月28日,《子宫自由法》(Lei do Ventre Livre)标志着巴西奴隶制的终结。为了对奴隶主进行补偿,它对最后一批奴隶进行了全面登记,这表明巴西在1872年正式承认了其中约150万人。这些最后被奴役的工人是如何生活的,如何在政治上影响最终使他们获得自由的法律程序的?当然,他们是这样做的,因为在逃亡、谈判和冲突之间,奴隶的数量在接下来的几年里下降了一半。在这个过程中,有条件的释放信几乎变得像劳动合同一样,是奴隶和奴隶主之间谈判的结果,它给了一些人自由的期望,并延长了对其他人劳动的剥削。在1887年,废除奴隶制似乎是不可避免的。最后一批奴隶的大规模逃亡使之成为事实,并于1888年5月13日被法律承认。自殖民化以来在各个方面构成这个国家的体制崩溃之后,社会关系如何才能重新创造?这种解体不仅会产生经济上的后果,还会重新设计权力的逻辑,以及一个愿意维持不同类型公民身份的社会的结构。在这个过程中,种族主义和公民身份的旧经验被重新定义。前奴隶主为赔偿他们的财产损失而斗争,直到老废奴主义者、第一届共和政府的财政部长鲁伊·巴博萨(Rui Barbosa)在1889年决定烧毁登记文件,从而阻止了对因废奴法而获得自由的约73万名奴隶的任何赔偿提议。随着《共和国》(1889)的出现,一种新的种族化修辞将废除奴隶制描述为“解放种族”的共和行动的产物,它保证了“被解放种族”的自由而不与之冲突。因此,它不仅掩盖了最后一批奴隶的基本行动,而且也掩盖了巴西人口中自由的非洲后裔在人口上占多数的地位,这在众多黑人废奴主义者的行动中是显而易见的。对于非裔巴西人来说,他们仍在努力确定自己在社会中的地位和权利。最近,巴西黑人运动在纪念废除奴隶制一百周年(1988年)中的政治行动确立了不完全废除奴隶制的概念,将5月13日定义为反对该国种族不平等的斗争日期,并将废除奴隶制后的时期作为史学研究的一个领域。

The Berg Fashion Library forms part of Bloomsbury Fashion Central, a digital lynchpin for research involving fashion and dress. Alongside the Fashion Photography Archive, Fairchild Books Library, and Bloomsbury Fashion Business Cases, the Berg Fashion Library tightly weaves together an interdisciplinary array of digital resources for those interested in the multifaceted inner workings of dress. Enriching both students and researchers of fashion studies, the vast visual corpus offers an abundant repertoire of benchmark texts in e-book format, and encourages cross-cultural study, especially through the digitalized ten-volume reference work, The Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion, and the section “Museum Exhibitions,” dedicated to a global representation of fashion, dress, and the body throughout history. Specifically, for those interested in Latin American fashion, accessories, and textiles, the Berg Fashion Library facilitates an introduction into the subject while also delving into the particularities of Latin American fashion. Cognizant of the diverse cultures involved, the Berg Fashion Library provides a comprehensive platform to explore the geographical, political, and historical markers that interlace the complexities of Latin America.

Arts education tends to be understood exclusively from its insertion into the formal education system, although its impact on educational trajectories is not only represented in the development of specific knowledge in the field but can also contribute with didactic volume to other disciplinary fields—as already recognized by UNESCO in the First World Conference on Arts Education in 2006—as well as opening new horizons in vocational terms. In Latin America, the development of musical training policies through children’s orchestras has become a trend at the beginning of the 21st century, unfolding in particular ways in the different countries of the region, mainly based on the so-called Venezuelan model. Based on the search for excellence and prioritizing classical European instruments and repertoires, El Sistema has generated the irruption of outstanding figures in the mainstream musical field. In Argentina, different public policies have been implemented since the late 20th century tending toward the development of children’s orchestras. Although there were government programs based on the Venezuelan system, there was also an alternative model: the Andrés Chazarreta social program based its actions on the use of American instruments and repertoires, and on collective training as a didactic strategy, opposed to the marked individualism that classical musical training promotes. In the 1970s, the choral movement in Argentina gave birth to outstanding cultural and artistic experiences. Nowadays, participation in this type of initiative stimulates the transformation of imaginaries about what young people can do with their futures, not only professionally, beyond musical vocations.

Over the course of the 20th century, Brazil’s Indigenous population underwent dramatic change. Frontier expansion, agricultural modernization, and natural resource extraction led to the invasion of Indigenous lands and interethnic conflict. Indigenous peoples that had once secured refuge through territorial dominion were besieged by settlers and epidemic disease. Communities with longer histories of integration confronted expulsion, social marginalization, and bigotry. Dominant ideologies tended to dichotomize Indigenous peoples as cultural isolates or degenerates. The Brazilian state played a key role in the social transformation of the countryside through the expansion of transportation infrastructure, the subsidization of large-scale agriculture, and the promotion of mineral extraction and hydroelectric power. Upholding developmentalism as an economic and geopolitical imperative, the Brazilian state sought to mediate ensuing social conflicts. The Indigenous Affairs bureau aspired to conciliate interethnic tension through adoption of a protectionist policy and “tutelage” of Native peoples, yet full-fledged Indigenous acculturation, deemed indispensable for nation-building and market integration, remained the endgame. Confronting the onslaught on their lifeways, Indigenous peoples mobilized in defense of their communities. With the support of domestic and foreign allies, Native peoples in Brazil made significant advances in demographic recovery, political organization, and legal recognition of their lands and cultures. Nevertheless, the Indigenous populations of Brazil continue to struggle against land invasion and poverty, violence, social prejudice, and challenges to their constitutional rights. The history of Indigenous policy and politics in 20th-century Brazil reflects not only a minority population’s fight for cultural survival and social inclusion but a battle over the soul of a nation.

In 1817, and again in 1824, radical liberals took power and proclaimed a republic in Pernambuco. These movements were violently repressed by imperial troops who landed in Alagoas and were supported by large landholders, who mobilized allies while they advanced on Recife and Olinda, where the rebels had most support, including among the black and mixed population. The fall of Pedro I in 1831 reopened these wounds and rekindled the dispute for land in the forests between Alagoas and Pernambuco, where the Cabanos rebels lived—also known as the “people of the forests.” Armed by those who fought against the republicans in 1817 and 1824, the Cabanos defended their right to own the land they held and fought for the return of Pedro I. The people of the forests were a mix of posseiros, Indians, and quilombolas, and in 1833 under the leadership of Vicente de Paula, a poor pardo with an uncertain past, they totally escaped the control of landholders. The Cabanada defeat (1835) coincided with the beginning of the regresso in court, which strengthened the conservatives of Pernambuco, guaranteeing the hegemony of those led by the Cavalcanti clan and by the Marquis of Olinda. This faction only left the Pernambuco government in 1845, during the “liberal quinquennium” (1844–1848), when the Praieiro Party rose to power, bringing together rebels from 1817 and 1824 and rural landholders whose demands had not been met by the hegemonic conservative alliance, which would only return to the provincial government in 1848, after the fall of the Liberal cabinet in Rio de Janeiro. However, the Praieiros refused to give up their positions and their posts in the national guard and civil police, starting the Praieira Rebellion, which had the support of various rural landholders and the free poor urban population mobilized by radical liberals around a nativist demand: the “nationalization of retail trade.” The crushing of the Praieira Rebellion sealed the destiny of the liberal opposition, confirming the conservative dominion in Pernambuco and in the capital of the empire.

However, the Praieiros refused to give up their positions and their posts in the national guard and civil police, starting the Praieira Rebellion, which had the support of various rural landholders and the free poor urban population mobilized by radical liberals around a nativist demand: the “nationalization of retail trade.” The crushing of the Praieira Rebellion sealed the destiny of the liberal opposition, confirming the conservative dominion in Pernambuco and in the capital of the empire.","PeriodicalId":190332,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121800504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In early modern societies, the duty of enforcing justice was one of the principal tasks of the monarch. Judicial power could be exercised both directly by the monarch—the supreme magistrate—or by those he delegated it to—judges or his courts. In the vast territory of Portuguese America, different institutions were created to ensure access to justice, to help govern the people, to assist in long-distance administration, and to maintain control over the crown’s dominions. Ouvidorias-gerais, judges, and courts were established with their own institutional officials, intermixing lower- and higher-level jurisdictions and exercising justice over distinct territorial spaces. To understand the functioning of judicial institutions in colonial society, it is important to analyze the universe of magistrates, their careers, judicial practices, and complex relations in the social environment. Magistrates, as an important professional group recruited by the Portuguese monarchy, had multiple overseas possibilities. They could serve at the same time as representatives of royal power and allies of local groups. These men faced a colonial reality that allowed them a wide sphere of action, the exercise of a differentiated authority, and a privileged position as intermediaries between local elites and the king. Even though all magistrates were subject to the same rules of selection, recruitment, appointment, and promotion, the exercise of justice in the slaveholding society of Portuguese America demanded a great capacity for adaptation and negotiation, for the application of law in the mosaic of local judicial situations. Magistrates circulated in different spaces, creating and working in different judicial institutions in the difficult balance between theory and practice, between written law and customary law.

Vanguard movements in the arts and literature from mid-20th century Brazil are termed neo-vanguard to distinguish them from the historical vanguard movements of the century’s early decades, even though the neo-vanguards share common features with them. These include an open spirit of internationalism, experimentation with form and language, and the use of fragmentation, simultaneity, minimalism, and graphic display. When they first appeared in the 1950s and 1960s, the neo-vanguards were differentiated by a rationalist, materialist, and functional approach to language, letters and art, visible in geometrical abstraction and based on research. The São Paulo poets Haroldo de Campos, Augusto de Campos, and Décio Pignatari formed the most prominent and influential literary group, known as “Poesia concreta” [Concrete Poetry]. Poesia concreta continues to shape and influence vanguard art, literature, and design in São Paulo. Their 1958 manifesto, “Plano-piloto para poesia concreta” [Pilot-Plan for Concrete Poetry], reshaped national poetics while adding an international aesthetic dimension. In Rio de Janeiro, the “Grupo Frente” led by artists Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark, and Lygia Pape supported the 1959 Neoconcrete movement and manifesto, defending the position that concrete poetry and art should be less mechanical and more expressive of human realities. Bossa nova introduced a syncopated, polished style that gained international fame through João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, and it turned attention toward Brazilian arts. In the 1950s and 1960s, individual authors worked within their own neo-vanguard styles outside of any movement, the most important being João Guimarães Rosa, whose reworkings of language and orality produced the major novel of the century, Grande sertão: veredas (1956), and Clarice Lispector, creator of dense existential consciousness in prose, mainly involving women in crisis. The 1964 military coup changed the disposition of vanguard art into one of resistance, reflected in Cinema Novo, Tropicália, theater, music, popular periodicals, mass culture, and marginal literature. Popular vanguard movements effectively ended, went underground, or adopted more unconventional formats in the 1970s because of political tension. The end of an effusive period of creativity in the 1950s and 1960s was marked by the publication of the collected works of the concrete poets, their inclusion in international anthologies, and a national atmosphere of increased political repression and violence.
20世纪中期巴西艺术和文学的先锋运动被称为新先锋运动,以区别于20世纪初几十年的历史先锋运动,尽管新先锋运动与它们有共同的特征。其中包括开放的国际主义精神,对形式和语言的实验,以及碎片化、同时性、极简主义和图形展示的使用。当他们在20世纪50年代和60年代首次出现时,新先锋被区分为理性主义,唯物主义和语言,字母和艺术的功能方法,可见于几何抽象和基于研究。圣保罗诗人哈罗尔多·德·坎波斯、奥古斯托·德·坎波斯和达西奥·皮格纳塔利组成了最杰出和最有影响力的文学团体,被称为“具体诗歌”。混凝土诗歌继续塑造和影响着圣保罗先锋艺术、文学和设计。他们1958年的宣言《具体诗歌的试点计划》(Plano-piloto para poesia concreta)重塑了国家诗学,同时增加了国际审美维度。在里约热内卢,由艺术家haclio Oiticica, Lygia Clark和Lygia Pape领导的“Grupo Frente”支持1959年的新具体主义运动和宣言,捍卫具体的诗歌和艺术应该少一些机械,多一些对人类现实的表达。博萨诺瓦引入了一种切分音、优美的风格,并通过乔奥·吉尔伯托和Antônio卡洛斯·若宾获得了国际声誉,将人们的注意力转向了巴西艺术。在20世纪50年代和60年代,个别作家在任何运动之外以自己的新先锋风格工作,最重要的是约翰·奥·吉玛尔斯·罗莎,他对语言和口头的重新设计产生了本世纪的重要小说《Grande sert o: veredas》(1956),以及克拉丽斯·利斯佩克特,她在散文中创造了密集的存在意识,主要涉及危机中的女性。1964年的军事政变使先锋艺术的倾向转变为反抗的倾向,反映在新电影、Tropicália、戏剧、音乐、通俗期刊、大众文化和边缘文学上。在20世纪70年代,由于政治紧张,大众先锋运动实际上结束了,转入地下,或者采用了更非传统的形式。在20世纪50年代和60年代,一个充满创造力的时期结束了,其标志是具体诗人的作品集的出版,它们被列入国际选集,以及政治镇压和暴力加剧的国家氛围。

The founding of the first universities in the first decades of the 20th century in Brazil emerged from a context of public education reforms and expansion that modified the relationship between intellectuals and the public sphere in Brazil. The representation of national pasts was the object of prolific public debate in the social sciences and literature and fine arts through social and historical essays, pushed mostly from the 1920’s to the 1950’s, such as Gilberto Freyre’s, The Master and the Slaves (Casa Grande e Senzala, 1936) and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda’s Roots of Brazil (Raízes do Brasil, 1936). Just after the 1950s, universities expanded nationally, and new resources were available for academic and scientific production, such as libraries, archives, scientific journals, and funding agencies (namely CNPQ, CAPES and FAPESP). In the field of history, these effects would have a greater impact in the 1960s and 1970s with the consolidation of a National Association of History, the debate over curricula and required content, and the systematization of graduate programs (thanks to the University Reform of 1968, during the military dictatorship). Theses, dissertations, and monographs gradually gained ground as long social essays lost their prestige, seen as not befitting the standards of disciplinary historiography as defined in the graduate programs such as a wider empirical ground and more accurate time frames and scopes. Through their writing in more specialized formats, which moved away from essays and looked into the great Brazilian historical problems, historians played an important role in the resistance against the authoritarian regime (1964–1985) and, above all, contributed to a debate on the role of silenced minorities regarding redemocratization.
20世纪头几十年,巴西第一批大学的建立源于公共教育改革和扩张的背景,这些改革和扩张改变了巴西知识分子与公共领域之间的关系。国家历史的再现是社会科学、文学和美术领域通过社会和历史论文进行大量公开辩论的对象,这些论文主要是在20世纪20年代到50年代出版的,比如吉尔伯托·弗雷尔的《主人和奴隶》(Casa Grande e Senzala, 1936)和萨默尔吉奥·布阿尔克·德·奥兰达的《巴西的根源》(Raízes do Brasil, 1936)。就在20世纪50年代之后,大学在全国范围内扩张,为学术和科学生产提供了新的资源,如图书馆、档案馆、科学期刊和资助机构(即CNPQ、CAPES和FAPESP)。在历史领域,这些影响将在20世纪60年代和70年代产生更大的影响,随着全国历史协会的巩固,对课程和要求内容的辩论,以及研究生课程的系统化(多亏了1968年军事独裁时期的大学改革)。论文、学位论文和专著逐渐获得了一席之地,而长篇社会论文失去了它们的威望,被视为不符合研究生课程中定义的学科史学标准,如更广泛的经验基础和更准确的时间框架和范围。历史学家以更专业的形式写作,从散文转向研究巴西的重大历史问题,他们在1964年至1985年的反抗独裁政权中发挥了重要作用,最重要的是,他们为关于沉默的少数民族在重新民主化中的作用的辩论做出了贡献。

Between 1980 and 1999, the Peruvian Communist Party—Shining Path—enveloped the Andean nation of Peru in an armed insurrection designed to topple the state and institute a communist regime. The Maoist insurrection began in the highland department of Ayacucho, quickly spreading throughout the countryside and into the cities. After initially dismissing the insurgency as the work of small-time bandits, the government responded by sending in counterterrorism police and the armed forces into guerrilla-controlled areas. Both Shining Path and government forces targeted civilians as part of their wartime strategies, while some Indigenous peasants took up arms to defend their communities from the bloodshed. In 1992, police captured Shining Path leader Abimael Guzmán, severely weakening the insurgency. By 1999, most remaining guerrilla leaders had been arrested, all but ending the armed phase of the conflict.
