Abstract

In Rio de Janeiro colonial social agents aimed at preserving a status and generational transmission. Thus, the hierarchical positions of individuals in the community were recreated daily and generational. In the case of lords, sought to maintain the government of slaves, socially constructed. Having this idea in mind, our overall objective is to analyze the strategies, practices and codes of slaveholders in a rural parish in the Reconcavo Guanabara: São Gonçalo do Amarante, in the eighteenth century. Observe the relationships, alliances and negotiations to be done and be seen as lord; characterize the manor practices to legitimize themselves before the junior and analyze the shared resources to be also recognized peer codes, in addition to possession of slaves; understand the strategies and parental alliances of noble families; create a typology of the lords of São Gonçalo, through the possession of slaves and titles; mount a familiar trajectory and point paths for future research.
