| Sumario: | The article aims to present reflections on the discursive ethos of the institutional authority of the Empire and the Province against rebellions headed by slaves as a confrontation with the terrifying conditions of slavery. For that, the ethos is analyzed from the discourse of the administration of Bahia in the nineteenth century, considering the historical text, with the purpose of observing how the subject enunciator articulates with other discourses, from the dialectic relation between identity and otherness. The official speeches are mediated by the Officials of the Secretariat of the Government of Bahia, enunciators of the political discourse of institutional power, and materialized in Resolution of the public administration. In this bias, the discursive ethos is a look at the scene. The reader is invited to participate in the recognition of this state of vigilance for the slave revolts, which were considered a security problem. |
