Educação antirracista na docência de língua portuguesa: caminhos para se discutir racismo em sala de aula através da música Preto Demais, de Hugo Ojuara.

Abstract

This work aims to suggest a didactic appropriation of the song Preto demais, by Hugo Ojuara, so that we can critically reflect on its content in the classroom, focusing on denouncing the social impacts of racism, with a focus on the teaching practice of Portuguese Language professionals in contributing to an Anti-Racist Education. To this end, we ensure our discussions in the legislation that underpins the Brazilian educational system, namely Law 10.639/03, the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the National Curricular Guidelines for the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations and for the Teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture. We base ourselves on the theoretical contributions of Ribeiro (1995), Carneiro (2005), Almeida (2019), Bento (2022) and other authors regarding the evidence of the dynamics of Brazilian racism; and in Sekeff (2007) in theorizing the methodological possibilities of music as a teaching resource and its collaborations in the cognitive development of students in Basic Education. The need for specific continuing education in the area of Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations for teachers in Brazil is evident, together with the development of the notion of Racial Literacy. The discussions also aim to break paradigms regarding the application of the school curriculum and the exercise of anti-racism in all fields of knowledge, especially in areas that compete with the Portuguese Language.
