SUMMARY:

The slavery institution reached all Brazilian soil. This fact, however, has been silenced in some places. In relation to the current region of the Federal District, the silence is heightened, because, despite the territory having been created on the soil of three cities in Goiás (Luziânia, Formosa and Planaltina), the narratives of historiography tend to focus on the immediate present time, after the construction of Brasília in 1960, disregarding the previous belonging to Goiás, especially in the colonial and imperial periods, which obviously refers to experiences linked to slavery. Despite the vastness of available sources, there are still areas of silence and inaccuracies in academia when it comes to the history of the enslaved, freed and, above all, free black population. There are still few works that dialogue with issues important to recent studies of the social history of slavery and freedom, focused on the agency of subjects despite the conditions of vulnerability and violence to which they were subjected. In an attempt to reduce such gaps, this dissertation mobilizes documentary sources available in the Public Archive of the Federal District and in the Digital Hemeroteca of the National Library, as well as contemporary historiographical debates about slavery and freedom, in order to analyze sociability dynamics of enslaved and freed black people and even free, specifically in areas corresponding to the cities of Planaltina-DF and Formosa - GO, between the years 1860 and 1880). Through traces, we seek to highlight the terms of these subjects' agency as builders of their own realities.
