Abstract

MWEWA, Christian Muleka  and  MENDES, Ana Paula Leão. Social control and ethno-racial mediations in Quanto Vale ou é Por Quilo? Sérgio Bianchi. Rev. Educ. e Cult. Contemp. [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.40, pp.251-273.  Epub Apr 12, 2018. ISSN 2238-1279.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2238-1279.20180056.

Through the analysis of the film Quanto Vale ou é Por Quilo?, Sergio Bianchi (2005) aim to explain and understand the prejudice of the construction process and discrimination in Brazilian society. Our theoretical frameworks move between studies of sociology area, cultural studies and anthropology, especially Kabengele Munanga. The research is characterized as a bibliographic review and document analysis, once we take the film as a document. Our analyzes indicate that the cultural-historical heritage announced in the letter of Pero Vaz de Caminha, for example, remains effective in Brazilian society and acts as a tool of social control today. These tools are explained in the film in question. Said mixing promoted by prejudice masks social inequalities, especially in ethnic and racial dimensions, as these also serve as a reference of social relations in Brazilian society. Les luttes et les combats sont nécessaires pour une société juste et égalitaire, à la fois par des politiques de discrimination positive signifie, que la recherche pour le droit à lidentité et la reconnaissance culturelle. Ces actions sont fondamentales et essentielles pour que nous puissions obtenir des droits sociaux et culturels garantis aux Noirs, les Indiens et les pauvres qui ne sont pas une minorité, mais la majorité.

Keywords : Slavery; Brazil; Social control; Social relationships.
