A alva leveza do tiro ao vento: a branquitude enunciada nos discursos da Audiência Pública da ADPF n. 635

Abstract

The practices and discourses concerning the Public Security Policy of the State of Rio de Janeiro are entangled in a complex network of social control, legitimation of violence and perpetuation of racism. This dissertation seeks to analyze the discourses in the public hearing of ADPF 635, also known as "ADPF of the favelas", and its relations with whiteness in Brazil. It proposes a shift from the analysis of the "black subject", which is taken as an object, to the construction of the figure of the white man, focusing on the problem of whiteness as an organizer of the current public safety scenario, since it is one of the structuring elements, in ideological terms, of colonization, slavery and Brazilian society as a whole. To this end, a historical analysis is undertaken, recalling formations, perspectives and concepts, going through the state of the art in order to build a reflective contribution to the articulation of whiteness and its intertwining with the discussion of public security. Finally, the discursive mobilizations relevant to this dynamic are analyzed in the context of the Public Hearing of ADPF 635 through the methodology of discourse analysis.
