ENSAIANDO O CONCEITO DE RACIALIDADE A PARTIR DO PRISMA DISCURSIVO

Abstract

Like capitalism, racism has reinvented itself and readapted itself to the various concepts and tools emerging from the 20th and 21st centuries. The internet, reality shows, the uberization of work, and all sorts of visual resources expose the social structures that foster, strengthen, and sustain the structure of racism, racial inequality, and the genocide of black Brazilians. We will reflect on the concept of race. In an academic research there is a concern about who speaks, what is spoken about, and to whom it is spoken for; therefore, we will think about how this concept is reaching the population and to whom it is addressed. And, thus, we can glimpse the following question: what kind of discourse analytic device do I need to build in order to think about race? For this, we called on Frantz Fanon, Stuart Hall, Kwame Appiah, with themes concerning race and raciality; and Ferdinand Saussure, Jaques Lacan, Mariana Cestari and Rogério Modesto, with themes concerning meaning and signifier, and racialized discourses, in order to reflect these concepts and think about them at the core of society.
