Resumo: In this article we discuss some topical constructions on the African body in the first half of the 19th century in Rio de Janeiro. We consider the decades from 30 to 50 – contexts of economic expansion and massive entry of Africans in the city of Rio de Janeiro –as important in the construction of the idea of body for enslaved Africans in their physical and bodily dimensions. Based on series of newspaper advertisements, police records, travelers' reports and agricultural manuals written by doctors we have analyzed the assemblages of some narratives about the African body, arguing how various diacritical signs were triggered by merchants, masters, doctors, and police officers.

Consideramos as décadas de 30 a 50 – contextos de expansão econômica e entrada massiva de africanos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro – enquanto importantes na constituição da ideia de corpo para os africanos escravizados, nas suas dimensões físicas e corporais. Com base em séries de anúncios de jornais, de registros policiais, de relatos de viajantes e manuais agrícolas escritos por médicos analisamos as montagens de algumas narrativas sobre o corpo dos africanos, argumentando como vários sinais diacríticos foram acionados por mercadores, senhores, médicos e agentes policiais.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2019-07-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/maracanan/article/view/4019610.12957/revmar.2019.40196Revista Maracanan; n. 21 (2019): Trabalhadores livres e escravizados no Mundo Atlântico; 71-962359-00921807-989Xreponame:Revista Maracanan (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/maracanan/article/view/40196/30030Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Maracananinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessViana, Iamara da SilvaGomes, Flávio dos Santos2019-09-06T13:19:20Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/40196Revistahttp://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/maracananPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/maracanan/oairevista.maracanan@gmail.com||revista.maracanan@gmail.com2359-00921807-989Xopendoar:2019-09-06T13:19:20Revista Maracanan (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false
