Abstract

Analisando as capitanias/províncias do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo entre os séculos XVII e XIX, o artigo se ocupa basicamente de concepções de trabalho no passado brasileiro, destacando diferentes abordagens sobre o tema, assim como tenta matizar a idéia de que o defeito mecânico estigmatizava trabalhadores, principalmente forros e descendentes de escravos. Propõe-se que a mobilidade social é intragrupal e que nem todos os grupos sociais se pautavam sobre a noção aristocrática do defeito mecânico. Ademais, mesmo entre membros das elites, tal noção apresentava fluidez no tempo e no espaço.This article analyses the Seventeenth- to the Twentieth-century Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo capitanias/provinces with an underlining concern about labor conceptions in Brazil by then, highlighting different approaches of the theme as well as trying to intertwine the idea that the mechanical handicap stigmatized workers, especially for freed people and for slaves' descendants. We propose that social mobility happens at the intragroupal level, and that not every social group was based on the aristocratic notion about the mechanical handicap. Moreover, such notion proved some flexibility of time and space even among the elite members.
