| Sumario: | Slavery, conflicts and diseases were amalgamated by the village of Sant’Anna do Paranahyba and also by other corners of the south and north of Mato Grosso in the XIX century scenario. Considering this reality, this text starts from a brief discussion of the travelers' view of the diseases and unhealthiness that affected people in 19th century Brazil, in particular, the enslaved, in order to enter Sant'Anna and learn the correlation between crimes, diseases and slavery. The travel diary “Derrotas”, by Joaquim Francisco Lopes and his assistant, João Henrique Heliott, narrating the incursions into the south of Mato Grosso in the occupation of vast tracts of land, from 1829 to 1857, at the behest of the Crown and of private interests, brings important evidence for the analysis of conflicts and diseases experienced by sertanistas and enslaved people, as well as indigenous peoples and poor and free ones by the places where they passed. Taunay's work “Innocence”, in its turn, brings us traces of disease and slavery in the lands of this village and shows us how the listed themes correlated. Departing from this location, we go back to the 18th century and arrive at the village of Cuyabá, in the north, and at its surroundings. In working with a source from 1872, we came across life, disease and death intertwined in Cuyabá, as if to say that for the enslaved, it was very difficult to establish the distinction and even the choice between life and death. |
