Resumo: | The present text aims to reflect on interactional exchanges unfolded on two black women’sFacebook profiles. Both have been on the spotlight on Brazilian television. Our focus is to produce knowledge regarding the discursive (re)production of race and gender-related slurs in an on-line context. Based on the assumption that language is action, we promote a dialogue with theoretical perspectives on ‘race’ and ‘racism’. The data the study generated allow us to infer that the performative speech acts of racial and gender-related slurs point to discourses and beliefs which still construct black women as ‘inferior’ and ‘bestial’ – regardless their statuses – whose bodies are ‘naturally always ready and available’ to different kinds of (including verbal) assaults. |

Concentramos nossos esforços em produzir conhecimento sobre a (re)produção de discursos de injúria racial e de gênero num contexto on-line. Partindo da concepção de linguagem como ação, promovemos um diálogo com perspectivas teóricas relacionadas às questões raciais. Os dados gerados nos permitem inferir que os atos de fala performativos de injúria racial e de gênero apontam para discursos e crenças que ainda constroem as mulheres negras, mesmo as bem-sucedidas, como ‘animalescas’ e ‘inferiores’ e cujos corpos estão ‘naturalmente e sempre à disposição’ de ataques violentos de diversas ordens, inclusive as verbais.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2019-09-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa empírica de campoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/1806-9584-2019v27n25472710.1590/1806-9584-2019v27n254727Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 27 No. 2 (2019)Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2019)Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 27 n. 2 (2019)1806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/1806-9584-2019v27n254727/40694Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBorges, Roberto Carlos da Silvade Melo, Glenda Cristina Valim2019-09-27T13:20:17Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/54727Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:41.861521Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
