The Dissertation investigates relationships between the several forms of exploitation of women and politics in colonial Brazil. Sexual exploitation and control of women were one of the essential and innovative techniques to build this (modern civilization in the tropics) as well as one of the important features of Brazil during its colonial period. From the earliest times in Brazilian history, women were associated with nature and with land to be colonized, which implied in a practical and symbolic analogy of forms of devastation. Moreover, as a result of raping female slaves and of unions such as concubinage we had the (illegitimate) offspring, (nobodyness) which gave rise to Brazilian people. In the colonial context, the patriarchal clan was the real source of power. This is the origin of patrimonialism, patriarchalism and personalism, with means that public sphere was formed by the invasion of private elements, among them the systematic and violent control /exploitation of women. It permits to conclude that patriarchal and patrimonial relationships are quite gendered. In terms of political theory, making women serve directly to economic and social project of colonialism, patriarchalism politically marginalized women.
