Inscrições corporais negras e universidade: produção de sentidos e docência no centro de formação de professores da UFRB – Amargosa-BA

Abstract

The production is associated with the Postgraduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Bahia (PPGE/UFBA), in the Education, Society and Pedagogical Praxis concentration area - research line Education, Corporal Culture and Leisure. The objective of the thesis was to understand the marks (effects) of meaning of teachers about black corporal inscriptions in the Teacher Training Center of the Federal University of the Recôncavo da Bahia (CFP/UFRB), in Amargosa - BA. The UFRB is a higher education institution created by a policy of interiorization of federal higher education, sanctioned in 2005 in the territory of the Recôncavo da Bahia. The reflections crossed experiences in the research groups History of Corporal Culture, Education, Sport, Leisure and Society (HCEL/UFBA) and Teaching, Curriculum and Training (DOCFORM/CFP/UFRB). This is a qualitative approach mediated by elements of the methodology of historical research of the present time, using as technique of data analysis the production of meanings, a model of data circulation that transforms signs into meanings. The comprehension devices used for data production were the documentary research with scientific articles and theses, characterization questionnaires (forwarded by Google Forms), as well as analyses marked by principles of oral story (interviews in a virtual environment on the Google Meet platform) and imagetic records (photographs) in the research context. The interviews were conducted with self-declared black men and women professors, permanent in the CFP (UFRJ). The fundaments of the study encompass a socio-anthropological reading of the research concern, fed by approaches to the epistemological lenses of Post-Colonial Studies, not limited to this lens of interpretation of reality. In terms of structure, we evidence the production in multi-paper format, nevertheless we seek to develop the central objective of the thesis throughout articles emphasizing the circulation of ideas. We emphasize reflections on the production of meanings mediated by social and cultural markers, especially the marks (effects) of meaning linked to the idea of black reference that circulates in the dynamics of being and belonging in the social mirror, present in the CFP (UFRB). Considering the circulation in the process of production of meanings, the CFP is involved in a symbolic aura, coated by nuances in the face of the affirmation of UFRB as a black university. As a result, we argue that the marks (signs) and effects (consequences) of meaning (re)produced by black university professors are categorical for the awareness of the black signifier in the university space. The production of meanings by black teachers acts as a preponderant factor in overcoming the double alienation, which results in the condition of mystified blacks. The transmission of the production of meanings by black teachers reflects the experience/life of these bodies, in their individual and collective existential spheres. Finally, the understanding of black bodily inscriptions at the university, as a semantic vector and a profusion of the sensitive, effectively implies the dynamics of ethical alterity and the bodies' reference system.
