My project explores ways in which legitimacy is granted within the literary field. This is done through an analysis of literary anthologies, university course syllabi, publishing trends, literary prizes, and levels and sources of critical attention. The project seeks to determine the extent to which the works of Afro-descendant Spanish American and Belizean writers are reflected in the hegemonic Spanish American and Anglophone Caribbean literary canons. I examine the works of Cristina Rodríguez Cabral (Uruguay), Shirley Campbell Barr, and Delia McDonald Woolery (Costa Rica), and Zee Edgell, and Zoila Ellis (Belize). The project records the varying degrees of legitimation these writers have received and the factors that have had an impact on their recognition. It also shows that literary interculturality is possible in Spanish America and the Anglophone Caribbean through the aesthetics some writers employ and the activities of legitimizing agencies. Further I propose a plurality of canons based on the concept of plural public spheres/counterpublics as outlined by Nancy Fraser and Michael Warner. My analysis of Belizean works emphasizes ways in which a national literary canon can be considered a counterpublic within a regional literary corpus. The concept of counterpublics I use to present the works analyzed is a model other scholars can employ in their examination of other minority literatures.

This dissertation is an ethnographic study of race and other forms of social categorization as approached through the discourse of the indigenous Chachi people of northwestern lowland Ecuador and their Afro-descendant neighbors. It combines the ethnographic methods of social anthropology with the methods of descriptive linguistics, letting social questions about racial formation guide linguistic inquiry. It provides new information about the largely unstudied indigenous South American language Cha’palaa, and connects that information about linguistic form to problems of the study of race and ethnicity in Latin America. Individual descriptive chapters address how the Cha’palaa number system is based on collectivity rather than plurality according to an animacy hierarchy that codes only human and human-like social collectivities, how a nominal set of ethnonyms linked to Chachi oral history become the recipients of collective marking as human collectivities, how those collectivities are co-referentially linked to speech participants through the deployment of the pronominal system, and how the multi-modal resource of gesture adds to these rich resources supplied by the spoken language for the expression of social realities like race. The final chapters address Chachi and Afro-descendant discourses in dialogue with each other and examine naturally occurring speech data to show how the linguistic forms described in previous chapters are used in social interaction. The central argument advances a position that takes the socially constructed status of race seriously and considers that for such constructions to exist as more abstract macro-categories they must be constituted by instances of social interaction, where elements of the social order are observable at the micro-level. In this way localized articulations of social categories become vehicles for the broader circulation of discourses structured by a history of racialized social inequality, revealing the extreme depth of racialization in human social conditioning. This dissertation represents a contribution to the field of linguistic anthropology as well as to descriptive linguistics of South American languages and to critical approaches to race and ethnicity in Latin America. / text

This dissertation addresses gender dimensions of Land Use and Land Cover Change (GLULCC) in the last few decades in a collective land titled to Afro-descendant communities in the Pacific region of Colombia, South America, and examines socio-economic and political signifiers affecting land use decisions, rights, and responsibilities. It shows how contrasting but complementary subfields of investigation, Political Ecology and Land Use Science, have contributed ontological, epistemological and practical scholarly works to help better understand the Gender Dimensions of Land Use and Land Cover Change (GLULCC). Historical and current information on environmental, socioeconomic and settlement processes provided a comprehensive portrait of the study area. The remote sensing process (a mainstream method for identifying land use and land cover change) helped exploring the spatial setting of land cover/use, and to reflect on the opportunities and constrains of the steps undertaken during this procedure under the lenses of researching their gendered dimensions. Statistical analyses on both census data (secondary data) and survey sample data (fieldwork data) allowed to establish a set of three groups of gendered land uses, namely, women-akin, men-akin, and gender-blind uses. Exploratory statistics, pairwise correlations, and binary and multinomial logit regression models helped to reassert the latter gendered categories’ assertions. A concluding narrative perspective of GLULCC seeks to further contribute to work streaming/ mainstreaming what I consider may be a scholarly-fertile research line. It hopes to bond, with another perspective, previous theoretical, spatial and quantitative outcomes, under the lenses of the practical experience of fieldwork, which also by way of participatory observation and semi-unstructured interviews brought to the researcher (me) valuable insights and information besides the previous outcomes. Empirical evidence allowed identifying gender-based time allocation, resource-use power relations, and reproductive strategies. Finally, the found rearrangement of settlement spaces and production systems provides practical indications that women´s role on LULCC is well beyond the establishment of small gardens and orchards, or the collection of fuel wood to provide for their families. In contrast, inside this collective title, women’s decisions/strategies have also restructured settlement patterns, and thus, land use dynamics of larger areas at heterogeneous spatial and temporal scales. / text

To think about the reality of the health for the Afro- descendant population in the municipality. It is also an attempt to understand how the various segments that work with healt and the black population that uses It conceive this theme. In this sense, it seeks to analyze the health institutions work has as main method the analysis of semi- structured interviews with municipal managers, coordinators of health facilities, professionals and patients. Finally, those of African descent are far from benefiting fully the rights granted to them, to denounce many situations negligence, constraints and discrimination in public facilities, demonstrate the effectiveness of institutional racism, the narratives of black patients compared to white patients out this well. / A proposta dessa pesquisa é analisar o racismo Institucional na unidade pública de saúde Centro de Especialidades do Crato; compreender a relação e sua pertinência para pensar a realidade da saúde da população afrodescendente no município. É também uma tentativa de entender como os diversos segmentos que trabalham com a saúde e a população negra que se utiliza dela concebem essa temática. Nesse sentido, procura-se analisar como as instituições de saúde trabalham para garantir à pessoa negra a promoção, proteção e recuperação da sua saúde. O trabalho tem como método principal a análise das entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com os gestores municipais, coordenadores das unidades de saúde, profissionais e pacientes. Por fim, os afrodescendentes estão longe de se beneficiar integralmente dos direitos que lhes são concedidos. Ao denunciarem diversas situações de descasos, constrangimentos e discriminação nas unidades públicas, comprovam a eficácia do racismo institucional, as narrativas dos pacientes negros em relação aos pacientes brancos destacam bem isso.

Les théâtres afro-descendants contemporains de France, du Brésil et des États-Unis partagent des enjeux esthétiques qui participent d'une poétique commune : la truculence. Les dramaturgies de Koffi Kwahulé, de Suzan-Lori Parks et de Marcio Meirelles (Bando de Teatro Olodum) permettent tout particulièrement de poser les jalons esthétiques et philosophiques de cette poétique contemporaine des corps. La traversée, l'excès (esthétique de la subversion : grotesque, carnavalesque), le salut (philosophie du marronnage) et le bouillonnement (la vibration-jazz qui en résulte), les quatre sèmes qui définissent la truculence, structurent cette poétique qui met en jeu les relations humaines et les mécanismes de domination en interrogeant profondément les violences associées au corps diasporique et contemporain. La poétique de la truculence représente une nouvelle catégorie esthétique de l'altérité se faisant opérateur anthropologique de la conscience diasporique à l'oeuvre. / Contemporary afro-descendant theater plays in France, Brazil and in the US all share the same aesthetic stakes which are part of a common poetics: the truculence. The plays by Koffi Kwahulé, Suzan-Lori Parks and Marcio Meirelles (Bando de Teatro Olodum) make it possible to set the aesthetic and philosophical milestones of this poetics of the contemporary bodies. The crossing, the excess (aesthetic of subversion: grotesque, carnival), the salvation (philosophy of the marronnage) and the boilover (with the jazz-vibration which derives thereof), these four semes which define the truculence, give its shape to this poetics. So as to give way to human relationships and domination mechanisms while deeply questioning the violence associated with the contemporary and diasporic body. The poetics of truculence stands as a new aesthetic category of otherness, set as an anthropological operator of the diasporic consciousness at work. / Os teatros afro-descendentes contemporâneos da França, do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos possuem implicações estéticas que participam de uma poética comum : a truculência. As dramaturgias de Koffi Kwahulé, de Suzan-Lori Parks et de Marcio Meirelles (Bando de Teatro Olodum) permitem, em particular, ancorar as bases estéticas e filosóficas desta poética contemporânea do corpo. A travessia, o excesso (estética da subversão : grotesco, carnavalesco), a salavação (filosofia do marronnage) e a efervescência (a vibração-jazz resultante), os quatro semas que definem a truculência, estruturam esta poética que põe em xeque as relações humanas e os mecanismos de dominação, interrogando profundamente as violências associadas ao corpo diaspórico e contemporâneo. A poética da truculência representa uma nova categoria de alteridade, ao se constituir enquanto operador antropológico da consciência diaspórica em obra.

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Ana Keila Mosca Pinezi / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, 2017. / A desigualdade, no Brasil, relaciona-se não apenas às questões relativas à renda, mas a outros marcadores sociais como gênero e raça. Isso pode ser constatado, entre outras situações cotidianas, pelo alto índice de ocorrências de atos de violência contra a mulher e pela menor remuneração das mulheres em relação à dos homens que exercem os mesmos cargos em termos de trabalho. Quando essa desigualdade diz respeito também à raça, as mulheres negras estão em uma situação de maior vulnerabilidade ainda. Elas, quando escolarizadas, possuem as piores médias salariais se comparadas às das mulheres brancas, por exemplo. Politicas sociais podem mudar esse quadro. Na área da Educação, por exemplo, pode-se viabilizar a ascensão social desse grupo marginalizado. Nesse aspecto, o sistema de cotas implementado pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) públicas, especificamente nas IES federais, mostra-se como uma possibilidade de mitigar a situação de marginalização e discriminação em que se encontram as mulheres negras, dentre outros grupos socialmente vulneráveis. Para compreender como essa política ocorre, este trabalho focalizou a política de cotas da Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC) que desde o seu primeiro ingresso destinou 50% de suas vagas nos cursos de graduação para alunos(as) egressos do ensino médio público e, dentro dessa categoria de cotas, uma parte para as cotas raciais. Após a homologação da lei 12.711/2012, a UFABC incluiu também as cotas sociais de renda mínima. Diante desse quadro, o objetivo central desta pesquisa é analisar a trajetória de alunas afrodescendentes cotistas, ingressantes na UFABC no ano 2012. Esse recorte se deu em função da maior possibilidade dessas alunas terem percorrido uma grande parte de sua trajetória acadêmica na graduação e já estarem em rumo à conclusão de seu curso, o que proporciona uma maior vivencia dessas alunas no ambiente universitário com suas impressões e significados. Para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho foi feita uma análise qualitativa das entrevistas abertas realizadas com estudantes, mulheres afrodescendentes cotistas da UFABC. Após essa análise, concluímos que, entre outras, a política de cotas favorece indiretamente a inclusão de jovens negras e torna o ambiente universitário mais plural; a expectativa de uma ascensão social e econômica por meio da educação superior é consenso entre as entrevistadas. Ainda, a análise aponta que ações voltadas contra a discriminação de gênero e racial necessitam ser introduzidas e debatidas com maior clareza e frequência no ambiente universitário. / Inequality in Brazil is related not only to income issues, but to other social markers such as gender and race. This can be seen in some daily situations such as the high incidence of acts of violence against women and the lower remuneration of women in relation to men who work at the same positions. When this inequality also includes human race, black women are even more vulnerable. When they are educated, they have the worst salary averages compared to white women, for example. Social policies can change this framework. In the area of education, for example, can to enable the social rise of this marginalized group. In this regard, the system of quotas implemented by public higher education institutions, specifically in federal ones, is shown as a possibility to mitigate the situation of marginalization and discrimination in which black women, among other socially vulnerable groups. To understand how this policy occurs, in this work we focused the quota policy at Federal University of ABC (UFABC), which since its first entry has allocated 50% of its vacancies in the undergraduate courses for public high school students, and within this category of quotas a part for the racial quotas. After the approval of law 12.711 / 2012, UFABC also included the social quotas of minimum income. According to this scenario, the main objective of this research is to analyze the trajectory of Afro-descendant female students that got into UFABC in 2012. This research group was chosen due to a greater possibility of these students have gone through a considerable part of their academic trajectory in the undergraduate and in the direction of the conclusion of their course, which provides a greater experience of these students at university environment with their impressions and meanings. For the development of this work, a qualitative analysis of the open interviews was made with students, Afro-descendant quotas women from UFABC. After this analysis, we conclude that, among others, the quota policy indirectly favors the inclusion of black girls and makes the university environment more plural; the expectation of a social and economic rise through higher education is a consensus among the interviewees. This analysis still points out that actions directed against gender and racial discrimination need to be introduced and debated in the university environment.

La race est autant une catégorie sociale qu’une catégorie analytique, et cette dualité représente un défi pour les chercheurs et chercheuses qui s’intéressent aux rapports de pouvoir dans les sociétés racialisées. Afin d’étudier la reproduction et la contestation de la race dans l’ordre racial multiculturel en Colombie, je propose d’analyser les discours et la pratique d’acteurs sociaux qui, en interaction avec les institutions étatiques, contribuent à la reproduction et à la transformation de la race et des ordres raciaux dans lesquels ils s’insèrent. Je m’intéresse en particulier à l’entreprise identitaire des acteurs sociaux et politiques racisés qui participent à la reproduction ou à la transformation de l’ordre racial multiculturel. Ces acteurs, nombreux et variés, vont des leaders ethniques jusqu’aux chercheurs. Si tous ces acteurs peuvent être qualifiés d’entrepreneurs raciaux, cette thèse se concentre sur un groupe spécifique de jeunes Afrodescendant.e.s de Bogotá, pour une grande partie d’entre eux provenant des familles mixtes, ayant eu accès à l’Université, faisant l’expérience d’une ascension sociale et travaillant dans des domaines relatifs à la défense des droits de la population noire en Colombie. Je montrerai l’importance de ces facteurs dans leur identification en tant qu’Afrodescendant.e.s à travers l’analyse de leurs discours et de leurs processus identitaires. En même temps qu’ils en sont exclus, ils reproduisent et contestent le cadre multiculturel en élargissant la conception ethnicisée de la population noire à une conception directement liée à l’expérience historique du racisme et de la racisation, qui s’insère dans le contexte global de la diaspora africaine. Enfin, en ayant recours à l’approche intersectionnelle, à travers l’analyse des relations familiales et intimes des personnes enquêtées, je mettrai en évidence non seulement comment le privé devient politique mais également comment le politique imprègne le privé, afin de rendre compte de la place centrale du corps et de la blanchité dans le processus de racisation et dans les stratégies qui visent à défier celle-ci. / Race is as much social as an analytical category. Its duality represents a challenge for researchers interested in power relations within racialized societies. To study how race is simultaneously reproduced and contested in Colombia’s multicultural racial order, I set out to analyze social actors whose discourses and practices, in interaction with official institutions, contribute to reproduce and transform race and the racial orders within which they are embedded. My focus is on the identity entrepreneurship of racized social and political actors who participate in both the reproduction and transformation of the multicultural racial order. From ethnic leaders to researchers, these actors are many and diverse. Although they may all be described as racial entrepreneurs, this dissertation is centered on a specific group of young Afro-descendants from Bogotá, many of whom come from mixed-race families, are college-educated, are experiencing upward social mobility, and are working with black rights advocacy organizations in Colombia. I will show the importance of these factors for their identification as Afro-descendants through an analysis of their discourses and identity processes. They reproduce and contest the multicultural framework of which they are excluded by broadening the ethnic conception of the Black population to a conception that is directly linked to the historical experience of racism and racialization, one that is embedded within the global context of the African diaspora. Finally, by turning to an intersectional approach, through the analysis of their family and intimate relationships, I will demonstrate how privacy is politicized and politics privatized, to account for the central position of the body and of whiteness in both the racialization process and the strategies that aim at challenging it

This research aims to analyze how the process of organizing the ethnic and racial information occurs at Central Library of the UFPB. Its focus of analysis is on the OPAC, contextualizing university libraries, describing the terms concerning matters related to ethnic and racial information in all areas of knowledge, surveying how they are classified and how they were treated within these libraries and thus identifying the importance of ethnic and racial information for preservation of theAfrican/Afro-descendant memory for access and use purposes by researchers, students, representatives of social and black movements. Accordingly,we used the descriptive and exploratory research as well as the qualitative and quantitative approaches for both of them fit well together and are essential in regard to clarity and reliability of the results. The terms founds during search, seem inconsistent, representing only 0,165% of the total of titles that make up the archive of this library demonstrating deficiency of these institutions and the lack of information with the ethnic and racial theme being necessary to adopt an indexing policy with use of the terms that can provide visibility for these data. / As bibliotecas constituem lugares de organização da informação com vistas a disseminar não apenas a informação que privilegia um determinado grupo social, mas também servem como lugares de preservação da história, memória e cultura referentes aos grupos invisíveis, principalmente aqueles inseridos na categoria de grupos sociais etnicamente vulneráveis, incluindo-se africanos e afrodescendentes, cuja participação e contribuição na formação da sociedade brasileira é negada ainda hoje. Esta pesquisa, por sua vez, tem por objetivo analisar como se dá o processo de organização e representação da informação étnico-racial na biblioteca central da UFPB. Tem como foco de análise o OPAC, contextualizando bibliotecas universitárias, descrevendo os descritores referentes aos assuntos relacionados à informação étnico-racial em todas as áreas de conhecimento, verificando como estão indexados e como foram tratados dentro dessas bibliotecas e identificando a importância da informação étnico-racial para preservação da memória africana/afrodescendente para fins de acesso e uso por pesquisadores, estudantes, representantes dos movimentos sociais e negros. Nesse sentido, utilizamos da pesquisa descritiva, exploratória e das abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa por acreditar que ambas abordagens combinam e são fundamentais para se ter maior clareza e confiabilidade dos resultados. Os descritores encontrados aparecem timidamente durante o processo de busca correspondendo apenas 0,165% do total de títulos que compõem o acervo dessa biblioteca demonstrando uma deficiência por parte dessas instituições e a insuficiência da informação étnico-racial sendo necessária a uma política de indexação com aplicação dos termos que possam dar visibilidade a essas informações.
