Luma Prado: The Illicit and the Legal in the Enslavement of Indigenous Peoples in the Amazon under Portuguese Colonization, 18th Century

Indigenous slavery is a little-known, if not hidden, chapter of our history. However, in the 17th and 18th centuries, tens of thousands of Indigenous people were enslaved—both legally and illegally—in the Amazon and other parts of the American territories under Portuguese colonization. In the states of Maranhão and Grão-Pará, the main labor force was Indigenous until the mid-18th century, whether enslaved, in villages, or under other forms of forced labor. Through the analysis of second examinations of captivity and complaints of irregularities related to slavery presented by Indigenous people to colonial legal and administrative authorities in their demands for freedom, this paper will allow us to survey current practices of captivity carried out in violation of the law in the 18th-century Amazon, as well as discuss the licit and illicit aspects of Indigenous enslavement.

INVITATION | Sexta do Mês (@sextadomes) invites everyone to the October thematic panel!

Theme: “Cemetery (also) is city: Incursions into the cemetery spaces of São Paulo”

Cemeteries are complex spaces whose role goes far beyond the sanitary function of burying the dead. Their dynamics and appropriations permeate the most diverse aspects and show that the city of the dead is nothing more than a reflection of the city of the living.

The proposal of this Sexta do Mês panel is to reflect, based on three research projects by participants of the NAU Cemetery Studies group in São Paulo territories, on various ways of understanding how the cemetery is (also) city.

Guests:
* Aline Silva Santos (LabNAU Researcher) • @a_line123
* Isabella Latorre (Master's student in PPGAS/USP) •
* Mariana Sanfelicio (Master's student in PPGAS/USP) • @sanfis
* Pedro Shiraishi (Undergraduate student in Social Sciences at FFLC/USP) • @pedro_shiraishi

Date: October 31, 2025

Time: 5 PM

Location: Room 24 - Social Sciences Building, FFLCH/USP (Av. Prof. Luciano Gualberto, 315 - Butantã/SP)

The panel is open to all audiences, so feel free to participate and bring colleagues.

We invite you to a conversation about the film Desmemorias, created in partnership by Armando Fonseca and Rita Almeida de Castro. Rita will be present at the AntropoCena session, which will be moderated by Rose Satiko Gitirana Hikiji in the LISA Auditorium. De Castro is a professor in the Department of Performing Arts at UnB and completed her doctorate in anthropology at USP under Professor Sylvia Caiuby Novaes's guidance. Desmemórias was created in partnership with filmmaker Armando Fonseca and his theater group, Teatro do Instante.

Synopsis:

While dealing with forgetfulness and memory lapses, Narcisa finds herself immersed in the recovery of her memories. Her reinvention of reality transports her to other worlds, intertwining her current reveries with her former lucidity.

The film discusses forgetfulness and its consequences by presenting the perspectives of individuals with diseases similar to dementia or Alzheimer's and their friends' and family members' reactions.

On October 22nd, in partnership with CINUSP and LISA, we are pleased to organize a special screening featuring two films by Frédéric Létang: The Earth and the Comb and Amazonia, Shadows and Lights. Both documentaries portray the same group of Amazonian settlers, first in 1996 and then in 2021, showcasing the entire trajectory of the southeastern region of Pará during this period.

The screening will begin at 2:00 pm with the first documentary, and the two will be shown consecutively. At the end of the screenings, there will be a discussion with the director and João Godoy (CINUSP).

PPGAS and Cóccix invite you to the roundtable "Black Knowledge in Anthropology: Body and Knowledge Production," featuring Denise Ferreira da Costa Cruz (UNILAB) and Gilson Rodrigues Jr. (IFRN), with a discussion by Jacqueline Moraes Teixeira (FSP/USP).

Landscapes of Movement in the Madeira-Purus Interfluve

On October 3, 2025, at 4 p.m., the Métis Convida edition will feature François Michel Le Tourneau, director of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS USP), who will discuss his research on mining, a world that is simultaneously a place of forest destruction and the creation of economic wealth. Using field data on the workings of the mining world and numerous interviews with miners, the speaker will reflect on these individuals' attitudes toward these two points (or poles), highlighting the non-linearity of the relationship to time, the ambiguous knowledge of the forest, and the specificity of the wealth/income creation model.
