Abstract:

This article explores the configuration of a transatlantic abolitionist discourse produced in colonial Havana. Through the examination of Capuchin friar Epifanio de Moirans's Servi liberi seu naturalis mancipiorum libertatis iusta defensio (1682), the analysis shows how the intercultural exchange, experienced by the missionary in the Greater Caribbean, resulted in the construction of a provocative emancipation narrative that defies European coloniality. The study of Moirans's treatise is organized using three essential notions of Paul Gilroy's Black Atlantic: movement, transformation, and relocation. These three signs of displacement, instead of being used to solely describe black peoples' experiences due to the Atlantic slave trade, encompass Moirans's own journey and the way it transforms how Africans and their descendants were represented and legally defined.

摘要：

本文探讨在哈瓦那殖民地产生的跨大西洋废奴主义话语的结构。通过对连斗帽女大厨Epifanio de Moirans的《服务自由主义的自由意志论》（1682）的考察，分析显示了大加勒比地区的传教士所经历的跨文化交流如何导致了挑衅性的解放叙事的建构，该叙事背离了欧洲殖民地。使用保罗·吉尔罗伊（Paul Gilroy）的《黑大西洋》（Black Atlantic）的三个基本概念来组织对莫伊兰斯论文的研究：移动，转换和重定位。这三个流离失所的迹象并没有完全用来描述黑人由于大西洋奴隶贸易而遭受的经历，而是涵盖了莫伊兰人的旅程以及它改变非洲人及其后代的代表和法律定义方式的方式。
