| Description | This article addresses the constants of slavery as a relationship of domination-exploitation with pre-capitalist remnants; it focuses on three of its forms: Greco-Roman, modern, and contemporary. The study raises three interrelated questions: first, that slaves bear the marks of their condition on their bodies, whether visibly—as effects of systematic violence or work conditions—or virtually, in the form of a stigma. Second, that slavery, as a relationship of domination-exploitation, possesses transhistorical traits in terms of violence, although the historical economic modes and scales vary. Third, that the slave subject is strained by various forms of agency and resistance: bargaining, escape, and rebellion. The contradictions of the dominant slave imaginary are not addressed. |
