FROM THE MEDAL TO THE PODIUM OF LIFE: THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE IDENTITY AND REPRESENTATIVENESS OF BLACK WOMAN IN SPORT

Abstract

The representation of the black woman, in brazilian society, reverberates the (re)cognition of their "self" beyond the imposed stereotypes, expressed by the process of constitution of black identity, stablished through social constructs woven by struggles, achievements and collective movements established by the valuation of the equality of ethnic-racial social relations. In the intertwining of ethnic-racial relations and the role of black women in this society, the objective was to analyze the possibilities of anti-racist pedagogical practices, through cinematographic productions which enable situations for (re)thinking human formation. The film “King Richard” was adopted as a primary source, focusing on the pedagogical approach to implementing Law no. 10.639/2003 in basic education in relation to the representation of black women in sport. Supported by the methodological assumptions of qualitative research, based on content analysis, the categories hegemony and contradiction were chosen, listed based on their relationships with the subcategories “black identity”, “black woman in sport” and “social recognition of black women ”. The photography presented in the film indicates narratives that enable, through reflective debates, the rethinking of human formation, didactic-pedagogical paths for the reconstruction of social imaginaries, anti-racist knowledge and appreciation of black women in the sporting environment and beyond.
