INSURGENCY AND HUMANITY OF BLACK BODIES IN THE UFRB TEACHER TRAINING CENTER: PRODUCTION AND EFFECTS OF TEACHERS' MEANING IN THE PRESENT TIME

Abstract

The article aimed to conjecture about marks and the effects of meaning linked to black body inscriptions – in the present time – at the Teacher Training Center of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (CFP/UFRB) on the campus of Amargosa-BA. The qualitative approach dialogued with the methodology of historical research of the present time. As a data analysis technique, the production of meanings was used. In the field, we recorded and categorized 168 photographs of graffiti on the walls of the CFP (UFRB). The graffiti was made in a student occupation in 2016. In this context, we listened, through semi-structured interviews in a virtual environment, to six self-declared black university professors about the effects of meanings attributed to these expressions. As possible considerations, we indicate reflections mediated by the perspective of these participants, circulating through significant materials that demarcate practices of insurgency, problematize the relationship between racism and humanity and, also, forms of violence located in the reality of black bodily inscriptions in the present time.
