Class Notes:
This class is taught in Portuguese. Topic: Race and Miscegenation in Brazil
Class Description:
Race and Miscegenation in Brazil This course aims to introduce students to racial thinking in Brazil, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present, as the system of racial quotas has been pressing for the institutionalization of a black/white distinction that many Brazilians reject. Students will learn about the cultural representations, the social and anthropological concepts, and the ideological uses of racial ascriptions with attention to changing historical contexts. The course opens with and is framed by the traditional, nationalist thinking about `race? in Brazil surfacing in the debate surrounding racial quotas for Afro-Brazilians. We will then briefly go over the colonial period before focusing on how `race? and miscegenation are treated in the cultural ?invention of Brazil? in the nineteenth century and greater of the twentieth centuries. The main topics and periods covered are romanticism, indigenism, and the fiction of nation; abolitionism, naturalism, and whitening; modernism and the ideal of racial democracy; and the problem of forging a black consciousness in an officially mixed-race nation. The approach is historical and loosely comparative, bearing in mind dominant discourses on `race? and racial mixings and their appropriation in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America. Course taught in Portuguese; a number of the readings are in English, but will be discussed in Portuguese. Spanish majors speak and write in Spanish; SpPt majors must use Portuguese. Reading journals with discussion questions required as basis for class participation; two oral and written reports; a final research paper.
