À brasileira: racialidade e a escrita de um desejo destrutivo

Abstract: Se o erotismo, como afirma Bataille, diferencia a sexualidade humana - conforme institui o sujeito moderno como efeito do desejo - está corretamente classificado entre as análises críticas das condições de produção dos sujeitos modernos. Por isso, neste artigo, revisito as articulações do erótico na versão de Freyre do sujeito nacional brasileiro. Mapeio como o erotismo produz uma figura racial, o mestiço, cuja particularidade reside em ser um objeto escatológico, isto é, uma figura histórica destinada a desap… Show more

“…As a part of these new politics, the recollection of Africa, through its culture and folklore, supposedly honored African heritage, when in fact it was just a mimicry of the real existence of people of African descent in Brazil (Soares 2015;Hanchard 1999;Twine 1998;Skidmore 1990). In the same way, this memory of Africa also endorsed a mythical narrative of slavery, romanticized as a sad, but necessary, and generative episode of Brazilian history where the mistake of enslavement was overcome through miscegenation (Ferreira da Silva 2006;Munanga 1999).…”

“…Furthermore, whiteness was ideologically embraced by the discursively very successful attempts to install the myth of racial democracy (Seyferth, 1989, p. 18). While racial democracy has been unmasked as wishful thinking at best or outrightly misleading, silencing the harm done by past and current oppression and inequality in the name of race, gender, origin, and class (Silva, 2006;Vargas, 2004), critical studies on whiteness furthermore raise awareness for the hierarchies of different shades of white, in which the Portuguese become the least white given their European and colonial pasts of miscegenation (Cardoso, 2017).…”

“…To say the least, naming a difference is the basis on which categorical hierarchies are easily reproduced. This is especially the case when an old discourse of colonial desire materializes, which characterizes the mestiço Brazilian woman in exactly the ways Luiza did, thereby instituting her as a subaltern, nonwhite social subject (Silva, 2006).…”

“…Demos visibilidade a algumas clivagens que consideramos estruturantes da 'nacionalidade brasileira', como o sexismo e o racismo 17,18 . Além dessas, há outras mais sutis também operadas no cotidiano institucional, que, às vezes, ganham a legitimidade por estarem imbuídas de um sentido prático e necessário: educar e cuidar por exemplo.…”
