| description | The main objective of the research is to delve deeper into the long process of the abolition in New Granada, from an atlantic perspective, focusing on the evolution of master-slave relations and slave resistance, as well as political and legal aspects that led to the disarticulation of the institution of slavery, since the republican State intervened as another actor in the process. Abolitions in the Atlantic were carried out gradually in most cases and its development was quite contradictory, it involved a series of debates and measures, where the interests of owners, elites, slaves and the States themselves were disputed. In order to show the different actors points of view and seeking to integrate the role of slaves, we have taken a musical metaphor of time and contretemps, to detail the irregular rhythm that has been followed in the disarticulation of slavery. A trajectory Thus, we have added the rythm of time created by slaves to the linear time of slavery domination and political and social events, which have had an impact, by gradually transforming the institution of slavery. A diachronic analysis of events and primary sources has allowed us to delve into a complex and paradoxical process, which was developed through three capital periods, which were: (i) the late colonial period, (ii) the Independence Revolution and (iii) the first republican decades. This case of study proposes a methodological approach that can be applied to other areas of the Americas, to fill the historical gaps regarding abolitions and the social effects that this significant change implied in contemporary societies. |
