Resumo: | In this article, we investigate, from the perspective of black feminism and masculinity studies, the impacts of structural racism and patriarchal logic on the subjectivities of black men and their repercussions in society. The study aims to understand the existing theoretical landscape on the subject and its representation in contemporary artistic productions, recognizing the arts as precursors in capturing social changes. To address this issue, this study analyzes the song "Autoestima," composed and performed by the Bahian black singer Baco Exu do Blues. Through a personal narrative, the music allows the expression of repressed feelings due to the social construction that seeks to silence the emotions of black men, especially those from Brazilian peripheries. Art, in this context, emerges as a vehicle for protest and denunciation, giving voice to historically silenced individuals and challenging the invisibility that many have faced throughout history. In summary, this article emphasizes the importance of giving visibility to the experiences of black men and recognizes the vital role of artistic expressions in raising awareness about the complexities of their subjectivities. It is concluded that these men face constant racial tension that, through racism, can undermine their identity and affect their mental health. |

O estudo visa compreender o panorama teórico existente sobre o assunto e sua representação nas produções artísticas contemporâneas, reconhecendo as artes como precursoras na captura das mudanças sociais. Para abordar essa problemática, este estudo analisa a música “Autoestima,” composta e interpretada pelo cantor negro baiano Baco Exu do Blues. Por meio de uma narrativa pessoal, a música possibilita a expressão de sentimentos reprimidos em virtude da construção social que visa silenciar as emoções dos homens negros, sobretudo aqueles das periferias brasileiras. A arte, neste contexto, emerge como um veículo de protesto e denúncia, concedendo voz aos historicamente silenciados e desafiando a invisibilidade que muitos enfrentaram ao longo da história. Em síntese, este artigo enfatiza a importância de dar visibilidade às experiências dos homens negros e reconhece o papel vital das manifestações artísticas na conscientização das complexidades de suas subjetividades. Conclui-se que esses homens enfrentam uma constante tensão racial que, através do racismo, pode minar sua identidade e afetar sua saúde mental.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-10-03info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/702110.1590/SciELOPreprints.7021porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/7021/13178Copyright (c) 2023 Claudio Patriciohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPatricio, Claudioreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-09-19T16:58:59Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/7021Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-09-19T16:58:59SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |
