Cette Thèse de Doctorat a comme but développer une analyse de quelques idées formulées dans le cadre du discours racialiste et du discours eugéniste produits au Brésil pendant le période que s’étend entre 1870 et 1940. L’enquête, bien que ne pas exclusivement, suivi le sentier des théorisations du philosophe Michel Foucault. La généalogie foucaldienne est utilisé comme perspectif historique d’analyse pour soutenir que les théories racialistes et les théories eugénistes produits ici ont été institués et, de même façon, ont institué des effets relatifs à ce que Foucault a appelé comme biopouvoir : pouvoir qui a par objet la vie l’homme. Je cherche de problématiser, en premier lieu, l’émergence du discours eugéniste produit au Brésil pendant le début du XXème siècle, compte tenu ses liens généalogiques avec les théories raciales produits au fin du XIXème siècle ; en deuxième lieu, la façon comme ce tipe spécifique de discours scientifique a cherché de définir l’éducation comme élément essentiale pour le succès de son projet de amélioration de la population brésilienne. / A presente Tese de Doutorado tem como propósito analisar algumas das ideias formuladas no âmbito do discurso racialista e do discurso eugenista produzidos no Brasil durante o período que se estende entre 1870 e 1940. A investigação, embora não exclusivamente, se coloca na trilha das teorizações do filósofo francês Michel Foucault. A genealogia foucaultiana é tomada como perspectiva de análise histórica para sustentar a ideia de que as teorias racialistas e eugenistas por aqui produzidas foram instituídas e instituíram efeitos relativos ao funcionamento do que Foucault chamou de biopoder: poder que tem por objeto a vida do homem. Procura-se problematizar, em primeiro lugar, a emergência do discurso eugenista produzido no Brasil durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, tendo em vista seus vínculos genealógicos com as teorias raciais produzidas nas últimas décadas do século XIX; em segundo lugar, a forma como esse discurso científico formulado pelos teóricos eugenistas locais procurou definir a educação como elemento essencial para o sucesso de seu projeto de melhoramento racial da população brasileira. / This doctoral dissertation aims to analyze some ideas formulated in the light of racialist and eugenicist discourse which was produced in Brazil during the period extending from 1870 to 1940. The investigation, though not solely, is based on the theories proposed by the French philosopher Michel Foucault. Foucault's genealogy is taken as the historical analytical perspective to support the claim that the racialist theories and the eugenicist theories, produced here, were determined and determined effects on the operation of what Foucault called biopower, namely, a kind of power which has man's life as its object. The present work aims to discuss, first, the emergence of eugenicist discourse produced in Brazil during the first decades of the twentieth century in the light of their connections with racial theories produced in the last decades of the nineteenth century; secondly, how this scientific discourse formulated by local eugenicist theoreticians tried to define education as a crucial element for the success of the racial improvement project which was conceived for the Brazilian population.

O estopim da polêmica supracitada foi a acusação, relatada em Parecer do Conselho Nacional da Educação (CNE), de que a obra pertencente ao Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola, Caçadas de Pedrinho (1933), de Monteiro Lobato, representava o ―negro‖ e o ―universo africano‖ de maneira estereotipada e preconceituosa. Por conseguinte, diante das múltiplas interpretações constatadas, essa investigação buscou analisar a evolução do pensamento lobatiano sobre a questão racial de acordo o contexto histórico-social em que Lobato viveu e as ideias às quais se afiliou. Assim, o exame de seus enunciados revela distintas associações a teorias sobre o tema, ora com uma visão crítica sobre a miscigenação, ora com a aderência aos projetos sanitaristas ou eugenistas do início do século XX. Através de suas declarações, observou-se que o criador do ―Sítio do Picapau Amarelo‖ acreditava na existência de uma superioridade branca em relação às outras ―raças‖, relacionando-a, por diversas vezes, a um suposto arquétipo intelectual, cultural e fisionômico. Paralelamente, examinou-se suas narrativas literárias desde uma perspectiva que visasse averiguar como o racialismo está representado em seu discurso ficcional. Por conseguinte, constatou-se que os ideais raciais presentes na obra literária do escritor coincidem com suas concepções sobre o tema. Seja através das palavras do narrador, seja pela caracterização física e psicológica dada às personagens ou pelas relações estabelecidas entre elas, nota-se que o ―negro‖ e o ―mestiço‖ são, constantemente, associados à subalternidade, à fealdade, à ignorância e ao atraso cultural, em oposição à autoridade, à beleza, à inteligência e à cultura avançada do ―branco‖. / The discussion raised in recent years about the possible presence of prejudicial ideals in the productions of Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) prompted the analysis of his "racial thinking" in order to ascertain whether, somehow, his nonfictional discourse is linked with the representations given to the same theme in his literary creations. The reason of the controversy aforementioned was the charge reported in the National Education Council Report (CNE), that the work which belongs to the National School Library Program, Caçadas de Pedrinho (1933), written by Monteiro Lobato, represented the ―black‖ and ―African universe!‖ in a stereotyped and prejudicial way. Therefore, given the multiple interpretations noted, this study aimed at analyzing the evolution of Lobato‘s thinking about race according to historical and social context in which he lived and the ideas to which he was affiliated. Thus, the examination of his enunciations reveals distinct associations to theories on the subject, sometimes with a critical view of miscegenation, and sometimes with adherence to the sanitary or eugenicists projects of the early twentieth century. Through his statements, it was observed that the creator of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo believed in the existence of white superiority over other ―races‖, relating it several times to a supposed intellectual, cultural and physiognomic archetype. In parallel, we examined their literary narratives from a perspective that aims at ascertaining how racialism is represented in his fictional discourse. Therefore, it was found that racialn ideals present in the literary work of the writer coincides with his views on the subject.Both through the words of the narrator and the physical and psychological characterization given to the characters, or the relationships established between them, it is possible to note that the ―black‖ and ―mestizo‖ are constantly associated with the concepts of subordination, ugliness, ignorance and cultural backwardness, as opposed to authority, beauty, intelligence and advanced culture of the ―white‖.

While research on the different expressions of racism in media has been closely linked to the understanding of stereotypes in a plethora of research, little is known about the journalists' perspectives and experiences of racism. However, in 2020, an anti-racist manifesto called “Whose SR?” (Vems SR?” 2021) was published online where the Swedish public radio Sveriges Radio (SR) was criticized by current and former employees for its lack of diverse representation and for having a work-environment where non-white journalists are marginalized.  Drawing upon the framework of grounded theory (Charmaz 2006), this thesis is an attempt to respond to the lacuna in media research and add new insights to the limited understanding of how women in news practices are affected by racism. Based on data generated from interviews with eight women who signed the anti-racist manifesto, this research aims to conceptualize how female journalists with minority backgrounds experience racism at SR and how such experiences affect their working identity. Utilizing the anti-racist manifesto as a case study situates the results in a specific environment which was understood as post-racial throughout the research.  Considering the findings of this study, participants developed a journalistic working identity to counter negative stereotypes associated with their minority identity and based on their perceived position of power at SR. This case study demonstrates how the anti-racist manifesto heightened the interviewees’ post-racial understanding and that SR’s response to the manifesto can be interpreted as an expression of how post-racial societies manifest. The main takeaway from the findings is how the inability to admit the different ways racism continues to shape contemporary media will negatively affect both journalists and the media's ability to represent diverse perspectives objectively.

David Mamet's Race is overdetermined by the paratexts hovering around it, most notably the essays in which he publicizes his conservative turn. This textual environment accentuates the text's participation in a contemporary political discourse that social scientists have theorized as post-racialism. But Race accommodates more complex and conflicted meanings: I read the play not so much as an advertisement of post-race ideology but as a text that exposes and deconstructs this ideology. I argue that this layer of meaning is primarily an effect of the legal drama genre on which the text draws. The conventions of the legal drama that Race invokes activate meanings in the text that cannot be fully controlled by the backlash-agenda articulated in the author's essays. / "Der vorliegende Beitrag ist die pre-print Version.

This research project was sparked by the observed patterns of participation in the schools choral eisteddfodau organised by the South African Schools Choral Eisteddfod (SASCE) and the Bosveld Kunstefees by schools in the Polokwane cluster of Circuits, Capricorn District of Limpopo Province - South Africa. The projected image of participation was that participation was divided along racial lines, whereby SASCE events were attended by blacks, found at township and rural schools, whereas former Model C schools attended the Bosveld Kunstefees eisteddfodau. The study intended to reveal whether the projected racial image was founded on racism itself, after 20 years the democratic dispensation, or whether other factors such as choral aptitude, preference of choral style, and/or cultural identity in a pluralistic society influenced such participation. Data were collected and qualitatively analysed by means of a structured questionnaire administered to school principals, choir masters/mistresses and secondary school choristers whose schools participated in either of the eisteddfodau between 2009 and 2011. Findings and recommendations are then offered for the research questions asked, following the analysis of collected data. / Dissertation (MMus)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / lk2014 / Music / MMus / Unrestricted

There is increasing concern in news media sources regarding police killings of unarmed Black males. However, there is limited research on the portrayal of such incidents in the news and the implications for police-community relations in African- American communities. In order to address this gap, this study analyzed 120 experts’ quotes provided by two of the largest and most respected newspapers in the United States -- the New York Times and USA Today. This research comprised a content analysis of quotes related to the deaths of Eric Garner (Staten Island, New York), Michael Brown (Ferguson, Missouri), and Freddie Gray (Baltimore City, Maryland). A number of factors are discussed: The news organization’s predominate category and specialty of experts selected; whether the experts’ quotes attributed to pro-police or community bias; if the experts’ quotes discussed social or racial inequalities in the cities selected; whether the experts addressed evidence-based strategies necessary to improve police-community relations in the Black community, and whether experts’ quotes discussed solutions to improve police and community relations in the Black community. The findings suggest that the selected national news sources, in the one year following the deaths of each of the unarmed victims, highlighted quotes from state manager, particularly politicians, at a much higher rate than intellectuals. Although revealing a substantial level of procommunity bias, the quotes presented very little regarding evidence-based strategies for improving police-community relations in the Black community and reducing the number of unarmed deaths caused by police. The implications for research on media and crime as well as policing strategies are discussed. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
