BANDEIRA, Lourdes  and  BATISTA, Analía Soria. Preconceito e discriminação como expressões de violência. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2002, vol.10, n.01, pp.119-141. ISSN 1806-9584.

This essay examines the construction of prejudice- and the visibility of the ensuing discriminations- associated with the emergence of differences, be it through the affirmation and manipulation of the conditions of difference or through their denial and dissimulation. In both cases, there is a lack of recognition of, or disrespect for, differences that is constitutive of new patterns of violence. This essay builds a bridge between discrimination and violence, emphasizing the diverse forms of discrimination and exclusion, which include: the juridical parameters related to co-existence and re-cognition; the social sciences approach to the construction of differences/non-similarities; the conceptual framework of the category “prejudice” and its derivative forms of discrimination and social exclusion; the mechanisms of prejudice; and the difference-prejudice relation, image and rationalization of the Other.

Keywords : Prejudice; Discrimination; Exclusion; Violence.
