Cultura afro-brasileira: produção da diferença no âmbito da implementação da Lei Federal nº 11.645/08

Abstract

One of the many achievements of the movement for recognition of the difference is the implementation of Law 10.639 / 03, as amended by Law 11,645 / 08, establishing the inclusion of History and Afro-Brazilian Culture and Indigenous in the curricula of primary and secondary education. This paper focuses on the struggle for significance of the different senses of african-Brazilian culture set out in the constitution of curriculum texts drawn up in order to implement this law. Such texts are problematized from the discursive strategies of the enunciation of the demands of the Afro-descendant population constituted by the political action that seeks to affirm an identity and set common culture subject of a shared past continuist. Thus, I try to identify the senses that are produced on "culture" and "black identity" re-contextualized as part of the curriculum production course of continuing education for teachers, understanding the difference as discursive construction and questioning the establishment of identities and meanings and prejudices such anchorages help crystallize. For this, support me in the theoretical contribution of Homi Bhabha and Elizabeth Macedo, whose reflection on culture and curriculum as production and dispute arenas marked by relations of power and subordination of difference, I consider important to build a curriculum discourse approach in which difference is constituted as the main articulator axis.
