Did the revolution affect their lives? Did it improve their chances to be free?\u00a0This seminar focuses on the changes of laws regulating slavery and emancipation in post-colonial Buenos Aires, as well as on the strategies the enslaved black population displayed in judicial courts in order to enforce their formal rights or to conquer new ones. Associate\u00a0Professor Candioti will examine the\u00a0traces of their discourses about freedom, patriotism, and slavery and also\u00a0discuss whether these individual judicial disputes can be thought as contestations to the slavery institution itself or not and why.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Associate\u00a0Professor Candioti\u00a0sustains that it is important to understand together,\u00a0how enlightened and revolutionary ideas inspired changes in the \u201cmoral sensibility\u201d towards slavery,\u00a0how it was translated or not in new laws, how enslaved men and women experienced and understood this ideals and laws\u00a0and if they could use the revolutionary context and rhetoric to improve their situation. Far from establishing a causal link among elites\u2019 and black population\u2019s imaginaries we analyse how both interacted and moulded mutually in courts, until the age of abolition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crime and Justice Research Centre will host a seminar this week with speaker Associate Professor Magdalena Candioti.
