| Abstract | |
In the 19th century in Brazil, historical study gains importance for the nation's construction projects. As a result, other sciences, sometimes called auxiliaries, also occupy a relevant space in the discussions of the learned, such as Ethnography. Interested in this issue, the present work investigates how the historical and ethnographic knowledge took the black as an object of study in Brazil, choosing as a privileged place of observation the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute, founded in 1838. We went through the pages of the main a means of disseminating the Institute's studies and actions, the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute Magazine, published since 1839, to understand which discourses about black people emerged in this production of knowledge and how their training was linked to a reflection about the nation's historicity and the temporality destined for black people in these publications. Our temporality was determined by the first article that mentions blacks in 1839, in the institution's inaugural speech, so that we can then follow how the Institute was delimiting a place for the Negro in a dynamic relationship with the formulations proper to knowledge. It was possible to map the production of three temporalities, namely: the presence of a black absence; the pragmatic use of heroicization and necropolitical mechanisms; and, simultaneously, also, the Negro-slave and an imperial nostalgia marked by the impacts of events such as the Abolition of slavery and the Proclamation of the Republic. We completed our investigation in 1925, the date of publication of the last text dealing with black people in the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute Magazine; before the publication of Casa Grande & Senzala (1933) by Gilberto Freyre, which became a landmark in studies on blacks in Brazil, and the foundation of the universities of São Paulo and the then Federal District, which made it possible over the decades of 1930, 1940 and 1950 an institutional and epistemological displacement, albeit slow, of historical studies (AU) | |
