Análise dos discursos: uma forma de combate ao racismo sob perspectivas filosófica e discursiva

Abstract

In this article we do a philosophical-discursive reflection about ethnic-racial relations in the current social context in which the Brazilian society, once constituted through the miscegenation of peoples and their respective cultures, has rarely assigned the protagonism to all the components that are part of the history of the nation, considering that  there have been two social groups systematically excluded and erased from the process of construction of Brazilian culture, Blacks  and Indians. Language, in this context, serves to structure social relations and, at the same time, is also used for the maintenance of the status quo as structures of hegemonic power and domination over one another, just as a mechanism naturalized and accepted by the members of that system, as  dominators or dominated. Methodologically,  we choose the discursive analysis based on interpretations of the discursive / textual genres used in the media and communication in our society, specifically, selecting among of journalistic texts published via the internet, with the signature of authors who defend one or another discursive point of view in relation to the ethnic-racial relationships present in our society. Thus, we discuss ethical principles by philosophical bias as the basis for the collective construction of principles, especially those that are embedded in ethnic-racial relations.
