Entre o "Zaca” e o "Madre”: ofensas raciais, processos identitários e discursos de mestiçagem em duas escolas de Belém

Abstract

This dissertation is an ethnography of everyday school life, conceptually driven from the markers of differentiation color/race, gender, social class and sexual orientation. The motivation of the research which started production of this thesis was the following question: offensive verbal processes are identity processes that are built from referrals and educational discourses teachers in each school? Based on a research trajectory that began in 2006, initially performed in school Alexander Zacharias de Assumpção College and later extended to Madre Zarife Sales in the neighborhood of Guamá, outskirts of Belém do Pará, I try to discuss the scope of these educational institutions in the daily living out of them by their students, to identify practical dynamics of the urban life of the city from the walking to and from school. Both schools are defined as reference schools in the district as symbolized, to clients of the students they met, the possibility of post-school career success among many families in the neighborhood. Moreover, I show the internal contradictions in the two schools, to suggest the occurrence of differential access to educational services and cultural capital to own teaching as the turn is studied. Discuss clearly the occurrence of exchanges of verbal insults and non-racial race among students as markers of differentiation indicated, to try to answer the questioning of the research. Then try to identify the various modalities symbolic of discourse of mestizaje as a comprehensive discourse that is designed by me as the reverse side of the racial and verbal offenses of non-recognition of racism in them by existing institutional body, this is, by faculty, staff and managers.
