A produção do sujeito negro : uma analítica das verdades que circulam em Venâncio Aires, RS

Abstract

This masters degree dissertation had the purpose to understand how the black subject is composed in Venâncio Aires city - RS, based in the analysis of power relation and the speeches brought out by the local newspaper Folha do Mate, from 1970 to 2010. Traces such as the visibility of the African descendant and the cultural guidelines wrote by a few black subjects supplied persuasion to question the effects of the truths that go beyond of the people from this space. Headed for the poststructuralist perspective and theorizing proposed by Michel Foucault, this research took as a palpable investigative data the newspaper called Folha do Mate. After making the analysis of the data it was possible to identify three discourses that are taken as truths, quoted here: the community discourse, the politically correct discourse and the ethnic and racial diversity discourse. Therefore, it is said that the regime of truths that goes around in Venâncio Aires takes the difference as necessary and emerges it through the value given to diversity and the exercise of tolerance. In other words, it concedes places of visibility to the black people and celebrates their difference, but breaks or stops the development of intercultural practices in the Venâncio Aires, especially in Education.
