The main question which guides this research is the following: How does this discursive process occur and which are the possible effects resulting from it? This research aims to understand, through interpretation gestures of such discourses and from those which undergo the interview statements and the answers given to the questionnaires applied to spectators and parade exhibiters of these samba schools, in what way the negritude conception and the citizenship practice of the black Brazilian people, especially those from Rio de Janeiro, can be affected by the meaning production circulating in the discursive practices of these sambas. The research was theoretically related to the Applied Linguistics, however it articulates theories originated from Cultural Studies and Ethnic-racial Studies as well as it presents some theoretical and methodological fundamentals from the Discourse Analysis of French line. As concerns the methodology, it is of interpretative, qualitative basis with procedures of discursive character. The interview analysis did not reveal, as consequence of the discourses circulating in the sambas, a direct involvement of the black people who were interviewed in struggle for their citizenship practice, but it pointed out sliding of meaning in regard to the negritude emergence / O objeto de estudo desta tese ? o processo de afirma??o, (re) constru??o e (re/s/) significa??o de identidades negras nos discursos que atravessam os sambas de enredo de tem?tica africana das escolas de samba do grupo de elite do carnaval carioca no per?odo compreendido entre 1960 e 2007. A quest?o central que a orienta ? a seguinte: Como se d? esse processo discursivo e quais s?o os poss?veis efeitos decorrentes dele? Tem como objetivo compreender, atrav?s de gestos de interpreta??o de tais discursos e dos que atravessam enunciados de entrevistas e de respostas oferecidas a question?rios aplicados a espectadores e desfilantes dessas escolas de samba, de que forma a concep??o de negritude e a pr?tica do exerc?cio de cidadania dos negros brasileiros, especialmente os do Rio de Janeiro, podem ser afetadas pela produ??o de sentidos circulante nas pr?ticas discursivas desses sambas. Inscrita teoricamente na ?rea da Lingu?stica Aplicada, a pesquisa articula teoriza??es advindas dos Estudos Culturais e dos Estudos ?tnico-raciais, como tamb?m lan?a m?o de alguns pressupostos te?rico-metodol?gicos da An?lise de Discurso de orienta??o francesa. A metodologia ? de base qualitativa interpretativista com procedimentos de car?ter discursivo. A an?lise das entrevistas n?o revelou, como consequ?ncia dos discursos circulantes nos sambas, uma atua??o direta dos entrevistados negros na luta pelo exerc?cio de sua cidadania, mas evidenciou mov?ncias de sentido no que diz respeito ? assun??o da negritude
