Amor e ódio nas tramas do feminino: narrativas sobre mulheres na capitania de Pernambuco e sua anexa Parahyba do Norte (séculos XVIII-XIX).

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the transgressions and violence experienced by women in the Capitanias da Parahyba do Norte e Pernambuco between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; from the readings of legal and administrative processes of the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino de Lisboa- Portugal, scanned by the Projeto Resgate Barão do Rio Branco, giving new meaning to the daily lives of women, white, black, slaves and mestizo who wove their actions taken as offenders in spaces of intransigence, politeness and inflexibility, constructed from an ethic of male domination that tried, in every way, to subdue the opposite sex. In this sense we must also think of accommodations as a survival tactic or even a possibility of acceptance of social role for them. We will expose stories of adultery, women who longed for emancipation, sex crimes, as well as practices of violence and ways of escaping from slavery. Thus we propose to develop a work in cultural history in dialogue with theorists such as Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Serge Gruzinski, Norbert Elias and others.It is methodologically grounded in micro-history in order to observe how unique and at the same time plural the stories of these women are.
