Racismo, ressentimento e resistência: o baile de Vinicius Junior sobre o recalque espanhol

Abstract

In this work, we propose to analyze the discursive practices of racial exclusion in relation to the black Brazilian athlete Vinicius Junior in European soccer. With this study, we aim to contribute to Foucauldian discursive studies, starting with the explanation of the notion of enuncia-tive function in the analysis of racist discourses, and showing that the statements always point to others that belong to the same enunciate network. To carry out the analysis, we will use, as meth-odological tools, the studies of Discourse Analysis carried out by Michel Foucault, especially the concepts of enunciation, power, and resistance. We will carry out the analyses to verify the presence of discursive regularities of animalization, dehumanization, and demoralization of excluded sub-jects. In addition, we will analyze the materialization of emotions in the statements that make up the discourses of resentment and repression. We will start with the statement that you must respect your opponent. When you score a goal, if you want to dance, go to the Sambadrome in Brazil. Here, what you must do is respect your fellow professionals and stop monkeying around to carry out the proposed checks. This research will result in an understanding of the discursive functioning of the relations of power in which black Brazilian athletes are inserted in European soccer.
