Eu + Ele = Nós

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze not as dialectical opposites, but as contraries that are not contradictory, the conditions of equality and difference under an atmosphere that demands that all be equal. Yes, because we witness confrontations when social movements feel discredited by the way society is organized, with this arise questions such as: difference asks what? Where does equality take place and how does equality keep up? If they are equal what varies so that they are not the same? Yes, the conceptual tripod that can be extracted from the question asked above could be alterity, equality, and difference. I say this, in my opinion, would be a simple path. However, these concepts mentioned above will be seen here throughout the text, as places where certain objects are not located but, in my opinion, should be located. And this object here is BLACK. Why the Black? Because black as a single element is always associated with theoretical assumptions that usually imprison it in founding factors. The analysis, seen by the tradition that the West has preserved, will always require a founding element that, at first glance, could be equality, difference, but which will not be here, will be the BLACK signifier. My axiom is Black. By this it is understood that the difference is in the very concrete affirmation of the object that is A = not A. This already makes explicit the contradiction and with this begins the dialectical movement, which does not happen in the stable binomial opposition of difference x equality.
