- Abstract
This article discusses the different meanings of the slave selling moment and the various conflicts and tensions that surround it. We use advertisements for the slave's sales in Brazilian newspapers in the second half of the 19th century to support the analysis, seeking information to help us understand the motivations of these transactions. The different advertisements allow us to perceive this moment of tension as an escape valve for everyday conflicts, which resulted not only from the master's will but also from the slave agency. Throughout the article, we seek to explore how these transactions should be thought of as a possibility of change within the order, triggered by masters as well as by the enslaved themselves, constituting more complex situations than simple commercial relations.
