Africa's Racialization Discourses in Brazilian History Textbooks (1950 to 1995)

Abstract: This paper analyzes how the vision about Africa in Brazilian History textbooks, particularly those produced in the second half of the 20th century, assume a racializing dimension in the discourses alluding to the African and Afro-Brazilian people. It is a production that reallocates meanings and visions constitutive of a discourse mediated by epistemological assumptions and by a pedagogical bias, both anchored in a racializing platform. In this sense, based on data from a PhD study, it presents a kind of mapping of the discursive elements that compose the racializing content of these approaches, especially regarding to the written and the imagetic contents, which are foundational aspects for the understanding of the dimension of this issue in the scope of the school writing.

摘要：本文分析巴西历史教科书——尤其是20世纪下半叶出版的版本——中涉及非洲与非裔巴西人群体的话语所呈现的种族化维度。此类文本重构了由认识论预设与教学偏向共同介导的话语所蕴含的意义与认知形象，二者均锚定于种族化的话语立场。有鉴于此，本研究依托博士学位论文的相关数据，对构成此类叙事之种族化内容的话语要素进行系统性勾勒，尤其聚焦于书面文本与图像内容；二者是理解学校教育范畴内该议题维度的核心基础。
