This work aims to analyze how were the relations between masters and enslaved in the locality of Guarapuava during the nineteenth century, and also to discuss the relations of sociability involving these historical subjects in the slave period. In this period, Guarapuava, still in Vila's condition, belonged to the Province of Paraná. The choice of the temporal cut is justified by the abolitionist policies that somehow sought to favor the enslaved. We chose the 1860s until 1888, when slavery ended. In this work, questions are approached involving the enslavement of people throughout Brazil, a subject which has been much debated in the historiography involving the enslaved black. Looking at Guarapuava slaveholding, we sought to understand how these social actors behaved, we tried to unravel, detailing the elements found in the sources, in order to understand the social relations of these individuals, which were revealed through the experience of the captivity. With this we try to perceive how the various forms of resistance were used by the enslaved, not only in the desire to feed the much dreamed freedom, but at the same time to legitimize this search, in face of its oppressors. It was sought to discover how the practices of the enslaved contributed to the construction of their relations, how the conflicts were marked out through the resistances that these individuals proposed. We sought to find in the various historical sources, such as inventories, Letters of Empowerment, criminal proceedings, nominative lists of emancipation, marriage seats and baptisms. Following in the path of Social History, we seek to examine this society composed of free and enslaved men and women, to understand how these spaces claimed by the slaves were articulated, making it possible the insertion of these individuals in other social levels, at least, symbolically.
