The project analyzes self-descriptions of enslaved people in nineteenth-century Brazil. It focuses on statements of the enslaved about their own persons in auto-documents, i.e. documents where people give evidence about themselves. Which role did bondage play in self-portrayals of enslaved people? How important were gender, social relationships, religion, work, material conditions, and legal settings? The project is part of a new social history of slavery in Brazil which puts the enslaved in the center of interest. In recent years, a growing number of historians have understood the enslaved as protagonists of their own history. Accordingly, auto-documents of enslaved people became more important for historical research. However, research has shown little interest in the way enslaved people described themselves. Analyzing the multifaceted statements found in self-descriptions of enslaved people, this project will benefit from methodological tools well-established in European research on autobiography and auto-documents. In so doing, the project aims to contribute to an understanding of the history of slavery in nineteenth-century Brazil which does not reduce the enslaved human beings to their state of bondage.

该项目分析了19世纪巴西被奴役的人们的自我描述。它重点介绍了奴役者在汽车中有关其个人的陈述，即人们提供有关自己的证据的文件。束缚在被奴役的人的自port虫中扮演了哪个角色？性别，社会关系，宗教，工作，物质条件和法律环境有多重要？该项目是巴西奴隶制的新社会历史的一部分，该历史将被奴役的人置于感兴趣的中心。近年来，越来越多的历史学家将被奴役的人理解为自己历史的主角。因此，被奴役的人的自动销售对历史研究变得越来越重要。但是，研究对被奴役的人描述自己的方式几乎没有兴趣。分析在被奴役的人的自我描述中发现的多方面陈述，该项目将受益于欧洲自传和自动记录研究中良好的方法论工具。这样一来，该项目的目的是为了理解19世纪巴西奴隶制历史的理解，这并没有将被奴役的人类减少到其束缚状态。
