Resumo: In the last decades of the 20th century, the social struggles against the discrimination of minorities (ethnic, sexual etc.) forced onto the world public agenda some questions regarding the “right to difference” and “recognition”, giving new meanings to the concepts of democracy and justice. In Brazil, these issues appeared after the democratization of the country, in the 1980s, when social movements with demands of identity and respect of differences put into question the status-quo and unmasked dimensions of inequalities up to then not recognized, such as the existence os racial discrimination. This text reflects on the role of the demands for recognition in the overcoming of symbolic representations that naturalize and help to maintain the inequalities in the country and how affirmative actions may intervene in this problem. Keywords: recognition; affirmative actions; symbolic citizenship

Keywords: recognition; affirmative actions; symbolic citizenshipNas últimas décadas do século XX, as lutas sociais contra a discriminação de minorias (étnicas, sexuais etc.) fizeram entrar na agenda pública mundial a discussão sobre o “direito à diferença” e ao “reconhecimento”, dando novas significações às noções de justiça e de democracia. No Brasil, essa discussão apareceu após a redemocratização do país, nos anos 1980, quando movimentos sociais fizeram aflorar demandas identitárias e diferencialistas que punham em questão o status quo e desmascaravam dimensões das desigualdades pouco abordadas até então, a exemplo da discriminação racial. Neste texto, buscamos refletir sobre o papel das demandas por reconhecimento na superação de representações simbólicas que naturalizam e ajudam a manter as desigualdades no país e como as ações afirmativas inserem-se nessa problemática.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2007-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/126010.5007/%xPolítica & Sociedade; Vol. 6 No. 11 (2007); 117-132Política & Sociedade; Vol. 6 Núm. 11 (2007); 117-132Política & Sociedade; v. 6 n. 11 (2007); 117-1322175-79841677-4140reponame:Política & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/1260/1203Copyright (c) 2008 Política & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta Neves, Paulo Sérgio2018-03-02T14:59:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/1260Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/oai||ernesto.seidl@ufsc.br|| ps@cfh.ufsc.br2175-79841677-4140opendoar:2018-03-02T14:59:10Política & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
