Ações afirmativas e heteroidentificação: análise dos recursos indeferidos em 2019, nos processos seletivos dos cursos de graduação da UFGD

Abstract

This essay is aimed to make an analysis of the dismissed appeals of the General Comission of Hetero-identification at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD), in the year of 2019. The dismissed appeals analyzed are by candidates hetero-identified as white people. The dismissed appeals analysis may help the understanding of which discourses are activated in their self-declarations, as well as observe these candidates’ perception regarding the brown people category, to justify subjects of rights within the racial quotas policy for black people in this institution. TheBardin (1977) content analysis method has been used, as well as the Speech Analysis from the work of Michel Foucault (1996). The results have shown that the most engaged discourses are those which involve the origin/genotype, that being, this group of candidates justify their racial identification by having some black family member and to be descendant from them, regardless their phenotypic characteristics, based on the racial democracy myth discourse, rooted in our society, claiming their blackness when it’s convenient.
