Resumo
This thesis seeks to study about African slave in Rio social context in the Second Empire (1840-1889),
and during the first decade of the Old Republic. This chronology seeks to think the African descendant
through three specific social moments: firstly, when slave was the workforce that moved the Brazilian
agricultural export system. Furthermore, he was considered an object by master, who punished it daily. In
this way, slave, who experienced that context, was part of the first social moment, which, according to
this thesis, ended in 1888, when there was Abolition. Secondly, since the slaves were freed by imperial
state, became Africans solely. In fact, these were freed from their shackles and whip. However, they
continued under the auspices of the imperial system until the advent of the Republic Proclamation in
1889. Free slaves experienced this second social moment, which was called the interregnum by this
thesis. Finally, the former slave, now experiencing the condition of African descendant emancipated, was
not inserted inside modern class society that was structured after the Proclamation in 1889. This
individual was left alone. Indeed, the Old Republic not caught him, who continued being a "captive"
person in a society where the slavery essence remained in terms of mentality of the population. African
descendant who were part in context formed the third social moment. With regard to the life of the
captive African, the freed African, and the African abandoned in the imperial society and Republican of
Rio de Janeiro, it is believed that Literature contributes to understanding of social types, given that the
hermeneutic understanding of Ricoeur claims that fiction can reveal essential aspects of reality. This
sociological perspective, rooted in literature, confirms that the writings that were produced in some time
ago can be important memory sources for understanding the social relations that were supported by past
context. In this sense, it is believed that the realist literature in Machado de Assis, one of the canons of
national literature, is able to reveal significant insights about the social context of imperial and republican
Brazil. The realist literature in Machado de Assis, comprising novels, chronic, tales, shows us the social,
political, cultural contexts in nineteenth-century imperial Brazil and during the first republican decade. In
this sense, it is observed that literature can support the understanding about social life in its various
aspects, yesterday and contemporarily. Taking this understanding into account, this thesis seeks to
analyze the representation of social types represented through captive, freed, and abandoned Africans,
which are part in realistic writes by Machado de Assis (1881 -1908).
