“Rebeliões da Senzala”: diálogos, memória e legado de um intelectual brasileiro

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is the accomplishment of a study on intellectual history, giving priority to a comparative analysis of the four editions of the book “Rebeliões da Senzala”, paying more attention to the first and the second ones, our intent here is, first, focusing on the memorial of Clóvis Moura, observing the process related to the production and publication of the first edition of the book “Rebeliões da Senzala”. Next, we will focus on the re-editions of the book. On that context, we will analyse the most important changes that took place on the second edition. We will examine how the introductory elements of the four editions such as, cover, edge and introduction gave a contribution to make the work of Clóvis Moura up-to-date and attractive; and last but not less, we will analyse how the author, by means of a chapter of his book, constructed the image of a slave of action who takes part in the society during the slavery era.
