Resumo: Our research tries to analyze relaxing hair among African Americans from a transgenerationnal perspective, showing how this contemporary practice takes its source in the trauma caused by the africans’ transatlantic trip during the slave trade. Using a movie and poems about this trip, we analize psychological issues of deportation upon captured Africans.  In the second part of our work, we propose an empirical investigation of relaxing hair, based upon a recording video of a mother combing her daughter, 10 projective interviews with west indian women of african descent and an ethnographical observation in a hairdressing salon. With these experiments we can see how relaxing hair is a try to heal the trauma, the biographical break, caused by deportation.

Cette recherche propose une analyse transgénérationnelle de la pratique du défrisage chez les Africains-Américains, en montrant comment cette pratique contemporaine prend sa source dans le traumatisme de la déportation des Africains durant la Traite négrière. En nous appuyant sur une analyse de film et de poèmes traitant de ce voyage, nous déterminons dans un premier temps les enjeux psychiques de la traversée transatlantique pour les déportés-africains. Dans un second temps, nous proposons une investigation de terrain basée sur l’enregistrement vidéo d’une mère coiffant sa fille, une série d’entretien projectif avec 10 femmes antillaises et une observation ethnographique dans un salon de coiffure. Au travers de ces expériences nous montrons comment la pratique du défrisage se pose comme avant tout un travail de réparation de la rupture biographique provoquée par la traversée transatlantique.Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina2012-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Poiesis/article/view/126910.19177/prppge.v5e020128-18Poiésis - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação; v. 5: nº Esp. 2 (2012); 8-182179-2534reponame:Poiésis (Tubarão.
