Discurso e negritude: heterotopias e produção de subjetividades

Abstract

In this work, we aim to analyze the effects of meaning produced in discursive practices of black voices that constitute a heterotypic relationship with other-spaces in the city of Marabá-PA, seeking to capture in these discourses how subjects represent themselves and are represented, as well as how they transform their heterotopias into destabilizing microresistances of hegemonic forces. For this, we established as a central objective of the research, “to analyze a series of statements from three files – Education, religiosity and art-culture – which, in dispersion and regularities, intersect in the production of black heterotopias”. We established as specific objectives 1) To identify, in the discursive practices of the research subjects, discursive processes that inscribe blackness in different imaginary positions in relation to hegemonic heterotopias; 2) To apprehend in the interdiscursive relationship of lived and represented heterotopias (school, shrines, artisticcultural spaces) which effects of meaning are produced on the coloniality of power; 3) to analyze how discursive practices of resistance configure knowledge that produces black subjectivities. The defined objectives were guided by the following research question: What black discursive practices occupy, transform and recreate hegemonic heterotypic spaces in Marabá-PA? This question was formulated under the hypothesis that the identification and analysis of black discursive practices, from the perspective of the concept of heterotopias, as formulated by Foucault, can offer us possibilities to understand how different representations of the construction of subjectivities are produced in different social places. -cultural spaces occupied by voices that face each other, starting with the body, as a fundamental topia of life, where material and symbolic spaces, interdictions, rules, disciplines, rituals, etc. The theoretical bases revisited for the development of the research are based on Foucault thought, especially with the concepts of heterotopias, racism and biopower, as well as on the thought of decoloniality problematized by Latin American social thinkers such as Henrique Dussel, Aníbal Quijano and Walter Mignolo.The analyzes developed allowed us to apprehend in the thematic paths of the statements series, regularities and updates of meanings that refer to multiple silencing of blackness: by heterotypic impositions that regulate conduct; because there is a constant reinvention of hegemonic heterotopias that permanently update the effects of colonization. On the other hand, the analyzes also point to the spaces of reinvention of practices of freedom in which ruptures and displacements of meanings emerge, pointing to the possibilities of misidentification.
