This thesis analyzes the construction of parental relationships (consanguinity & “godparenting”) set forth by slaves and freed slaves of African origin (subjects from different ethnical and social categories) in the context of south Brazilian village “Nossa Senhora do Desterro” on the Santa Catarina island. The analysis of how these relationships are created stresses the processes through which identities are created and reinvented by these historic subjects in the context of the Diaspora. The chronological markings of this research (end of the XVIII and first half of the XIX centuries) refer to historical periods that have received very little or no attention at all from research that shares the same perspective I am using. Our starting point is the relevance attributed to parental relationships in the context of slavery, that is, for these slaves and freed slaves “consanguinity” and “godparenting” represent the forms through which families could be formed and presence could be marked in the social space of the village.
