Minha pele é linguagem, e a leitura é toda sua (nossa): representações de professores/as sobre a lei n° 10.639/2003 em Amargosa – Ba

Abstract

This dissertation conceptualized representations of teachers/as on the developments of Law 10.639/2003 in Amargosa- BA. The law amends the Law 9.394, of December 20, 1996, which establishes the guidelines and bases of national education, to include in the official curriculum of the Education Network mandating the theme "History and Afro-Brazilian Culture", and gives other provisions. The research aimed to understand the representations of the teacher participants the broad sense Graduate in History of Africa, Black Culture and Black in Brazil (CFP/UFRB), about the consequences of Law 10.639/2003 in municipal schools teaching in Amargosa, Bahia. The research subjects are seven teachers the acting at the level of basic education, with specific training in the education of ethnic-racial relations, members of municipal schools in the city of Amargosa, Bahia. We used a qualitative approach mediated by content analysis (BARDIN, 1977), and the design of vindicatory/participatory research (CRESWELL, 2010). The tools for production data were document analysis, questionnaires and focus groups (BOURDIEU, 1997; LAVILLE and DIONNE, 2007; GATTI, 2005; DIAS, 2000; DAL'IGNA, 2012). The procedures are consistent with the epistemological approach of cultural studies, in dialogue with the rank analysis of representations (HALL 2013; FANON, 2008; BHABHA, 2011 and 2013; WORTMANN, 2001). The survey results highlighted the silencing of the issues surrounding the education of ethnic-racial relations in the Municipal Plan of Amargosa Education (2007), corroborating the blind policy productions to color, and the moves of a poorly told story. The subjects emphasized the power of representative weapons and the need to rewrite the history of black people in textbooks, tensions around the political action of teachers/as and the inclusion of a specific subject in basic education for dealing with education of ethnic-racial relations. Also question the imposition of commonplace, inferior and hierarchical, culture. The study reveals the representations of teachers/as marked by a thirst for institutionalizing Law 10.639/2003 in the sphere of the Municipal Education Amargosa-BA as racism coping mechanism from the context. Finally, we highlight the limits and possibilities of the study, in particular the potential of Law 10.639/2003 linked the prospect of negotiating multi/intercultural, when we reflect on the need for quality training for dealing with the education of ethnic-racial relations, and the implications to effect a cultural policy of respect for differences, which overcomes the demobilization of narratives and essentialist readings around the issue.
