- W3165411185 abstract "This paper explores a slave frontier in the lower Congo during the first half of the 19th century and the endogenous conceptualizations of slavery and dependency created by the people it caught. Drawing from their intellectual traditions, they gave meaning to the staggering levels of violence and insecurity that marked the region during a period of reconfiguration of the South Atlantic political economy. I argue that the study of origins of enslaved Africans captured by the Atlantic economy and the forms of their enslavement in the area are better understood when the historian takes into account histories of meaning-making processes and practices grounded in the region. The semantic histories revealed by linguistic evidence and ethnographic sources suggest that the boundaries between belonging and slavery were commonly thought among lower Congo peoples by reference of an old metaphor juxtaposing men and trees, whose discursive power continued to be used by slaves in their daily resistance in southeastern Brazil. Such investigation also reveals how living and making the stationary slave frontier transformed endogenous conceptualizations of practices of slaving, modes of violence and discourses of scorning among peoples in the lower Congo. Drawing from Portuguese and Brazilian archives, as well as colonial documents, linguistic evidence and ethnographic sources, this study is an attempt in re-imagining the archive in order to move beyond what James Sweet called a European-American exceptionalism in Atlantic Studies towards a sustained engagement with African histories and ethnographic ways of being.
