“EXPERIENCES OF SERVING AND GETTING SICK”: potentialities of the judicial archives for the history of health and slavery
Abstract
The historiography of slavery in Brazil presents itself in constant movement to capture still muddy scenarios of the lives of the enslaved populations, these initiatives go through illuminating nuances of the daily life of captives and freedmen in order to perceive sociability, the formation of families, the world of slave labor, food and forms of resistance in the various regions of the country, in the meantime the history of the health of the enslaved is inserted, which at the confluence between the history of slavery and health is configured as a fertile field, in which from the sources present in the judicial archives, such as inventories, criminal cases and denunciations, it is possible to perceive the behavior of slave societies in the face of the illness of the enslaved body, the impact of diseases on the relations between captives and masters, nosological patterns in function of slave labor routines, as well as the use of healing practices, whether academic or alternative. Thus, the article we present seeks to note the potential of the judicial archives for investigations on health conditions among captives in the Northeast.
