Revelando as cartas de Teodora : uma análise da representação em HQ sobre a mulher negra numa São Paulo oitocentista (1840 – 1890)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a historiographical analysis of the comic book Mukanda Tiodora, thus aiming to go through all possible points of analysis, outlining which contexts the comic was developed and how subjectivities influence the author Marcelo d’Salete. We will try to cover the work in ten topics, from the introduction to the conclusion, developing each of them in an objective and clear way. To historiographically understand the context of the work, the nineteenth-century city of São Paulo and how black women lived there, we resorted to the following texts: African dreams, experience ladinas: slaves and freedmen in São Paulo (1850- 1888) (1998) and the second Teodora Dias da Cunha building a place for herself in the world of writing and slavery (2012) all of them by professor and researcher Maria Cristina Wissenbach. Finally, it is expected that at the end of the observations made here, we will also perceive the work as a historiographical object, being something that presents to us the reality of black women during the 19th century.
