A trama racial na mídia policialesca baiana

Abstract

The present work navigates in the field of police programs with the objective of critically analyzing the propagation of the image of black people exposed in these programs. In the first moment I bring the discussion about the social and historical context of the origins of police programs in the world and in Brazil, after this moment I establish the temporal cut and look that will be given in view of the breadth of the theme. In the second moment, I stipulate the path necessary to understand the social representations of black corporality in the Bahian media, more specifically in police programs, as well as discussing criminalization, the construction of stereotypes and the resistance involved in these circumstances. At this point, the “Black Rome” or the “Tomb-City” (BORGES, 2012) imposes itself as a territory, a fundamental space/time to interpret the set of threads that weave the Racial Weave, in which police programs are immersed. The next step was to problematize the public security policy of the State of Bahia as a machine for grinding black people, based on strategies of resistance by black people and tragedies involving violence and black bloodshed. In the final part of the work I delve into the evidence perceived in the field, the first step was a quantitative analysis apprehended from primary data cataloged in the development of the research and the second step was the qualitative analysis, which emerged from the dialogue that transited from the “discursive Ipadê the Ethnography of the Plot”. Finally, I make final remarks by reflecting that more than demonstrating conclusive answers, the result of the research is to raise new questions and present original views and possible paths for discussion in the field-theme.
