Afirmative Actions and Positionalities

whose struggle is this?

Abstract

This lecture was given by the black anthropologist Luciana de Oliveira Dias at V Negras Antropologias, an event organized by the Zora Hurston Collective. From a critical and intersectional look at racism in Brazil, Luciana seeks to support the struggle for anti-discriminatory and reparative agencies, such as armative action policies for admission to universities. Which already demonstrate ethical, aesthetic and epistemic eectiveness, including, largely due to the contributions of black women from the position of outsider within in the social reality. Therefore, it is the responsibility of this entire society to undertake an anti-racist, anti-patriarchal, anti-capacitatist, anti-lgbtphobic, in short, anti-discriminatory struggle, in the search for social justice and the realization of human rights, without forgetting the protagonism of the plaintiffs.
