Enslaved women and the use of the partus sequitur ventrem at courts: inscribing maternal ancestry and intervening in the gender-racialized archive in colonial Chile

In this paper I describe and analyze the implications and uses of the legal principle partus sequitur ventrem through two lawsuits for the recognition of freedom by enslaved women of calidad mulata and/or zamba.

I am interested in exploring how they created their own archive and juxtaposed to the judicial file that described them and, to a certain extent, determined them.

En este artículo describo y analizo las implicancias y el uso del principio jurídico partus sequitur ventrem por medio de dos litigios por reconocimiento de libertad elevados por mujeres en condición de esclavitud de calidad mulata y/o zamba. Ellas disputaron la versión esclavista sobre su origen al presentar pruebas para inscribir una nueva ascendencia materna, una de india libre. Me interesa explorar cómo crearon un archivo propio y yuxtapuesto al archivo judicial que las describía y, hasta cierto punto, determinaba. Al momento de exigir el reconocimiento de libertad, tuvieron que entrar y salir de marcadores género-racializados que estaban fuertemente implicados en la constitución misma de la esclavitud.
