Abstract

Abstract:This article combines linguistic coding with the category of androgyny to determine the discursive patterns that Indigenous and Black individuals used in their negotiations with colonial authority between 1755 and 1808 in Brazil. The author confronted the language of identity with codes of behaviour to better understand how Black and Indigenous subjects perceived freedom, social condition, slavery, and colonial power. To “measure” androgyny, the focus was on the intersection of gender (women/men), social status (freed/enslaved), and “race”/ethnic group (Black/Indigenous). Next, the author examined the extent to which culturally expected feminine and masculine attributes were reflected in an individual’s self-description. Finally, the author discussed who the “miserable vassals” were and what their functional aspects of androgynous codes of behaviour were.Résumé:le présent article combine le codage linguistique avec la catégorie de l'androgynie pour déterminer les modèles discursifs que les personnes autoch-tones et noires utilisaient dans leurs négociations avec l'autorité coloniale entre 1755 et 1808 au Brésil. Cette contribution confronte le langage de l'identité aux codes de comportement afin de mieux comprendre la façon dont les sujets autoch-tones et noirs percevaient la liberté, la condition sociale, l'esclavage et le pouvoir colonial. Pour « mesurer » l'androgynie, l’autrice s’appuient sur le lien existant entre le genre (femmes/hommes), le statut social (libre/esclave), ainsi que la « race »/ le groupe ethnique (noir/autochtone). Ensuite, l’article examine dans quelle mesure les attributs féminins et masculins culturellement attendus se reflétaient dans l'auto-description d'une personne. Enfin, cette étude se penche sur l’identité des « vassaux misérables » et des aspects fonctionnels de leurs codes de comportement androgynes.
帝国的“悲惨附庸”:巴西殖民后期黑人和土著人民的雌雄同体行为准则(1775-1808)
摘要:本文结合语言编码和雌雄同体范畴,分析了1755年至1808年巴西土著和黑人个体在与殖民当局谈判时使用的话语模式。作者将身份语言与行为准则相对照,以更好地理解黑人和土著臣民对自由、社会状况、奴隶制和殖民权力的看法。为了“衡量”双性同体,重点是性别(女性/男性)、社会地位(被解放/被奴役)和“种族”/民族群体(黑人/土著)的交集。接下来,作者研究了文化期望的女性和男性特质在个人自我描述中的反映程度。最后,作者讨论了“悲惨的附庸”是谁,以及他们在雌雄同体行为准则中的功能方面是什么。3 . 交换器: 交换器: 交换器: 交换器: 交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:交换器:她的贡献面对的是“身份语言”、“行为准则”、“综合文化”、“社会主义”、“自由主义”、“社会条件”、“解放主义”和“殖民主义”。“量度者”是“雌雄同体”,“权威者”是“适用者”,“存在者”是“体裁者”,“社会地位者”是“自由者”,“种族者”是“群体”,“种族者”是“黑人”。因此,我的文章检查了男性和男性的性别差异,并测量了男性和女性的性别差异,以及男性和女性的性别差异。最后,cete sametass ass penche sur l ' identidenes es«vasaux missametables»et des aspects,功能,性别,行为代码,雌雄同体。

期刊介绍: The Canadian Journal of History/Annales canadiennes d’histoire (CJH/ACH), published by University of Toronto Press, is a peer-reviewed journal of general history publishing in both English and French. Geared to all professional historians, as well as to anyone interested in historical scholarship, it features articles and reviews by experts, and invites contributions from all areas of history. The journal has resisted the trend toward increased specialization and offers an excellent way to keep up with developments across the discipline. The CJH/ACH publishes three issues annually in spring, fall, and winter. While the content of our issues varies seasonally, each issue may contain a maximum of four articles, one or two historiographical review articles, and approximately forty book reviews, including one or two longer “feature reviews,” which typically consider one or two books in somewhat greater depth. Our winter issue regularly features a guest editor and focuses on a specific theme or topic of their choosing.
