Abstract

PAULA, Leonardo Régis de  and  RODRIGUES, Luciana. Race and racism: fictional stories of black bodies at university. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.54, pp.414-430. ISSN 2175-1390.

The image of the black body, as a protagonist at the university, has become more frequent in recent years. This achievement took place from the struggles marked by collectivity and ancestry that cross the Brazilian Black Movement. However, the trajectory of black corporeality at the university has also been marked by everyday experiences of racism. In this sense, with the aim of discussing the interface between race and racism in the academic universe, we shift the experience of racism to the terrain of fictional narratives, placing them in the field of problematizations - a field that we assume as a method to denaturalize hegemonic fields of knowledge linked to coloniality and the systems of domination, such as white supremacy, that operate over our black bodies. Thus, narrating, as an analytical tool, takes the place of the production of resistance in our writing. This way, we seek to affirm the importance of anti-racist practices, also within the university.
