PAGES: 42
BIG AREA: Ciências Humanas
AREA: Psicologia
SUMMARY:

Whereas that what is usually called religious intolerance against religions of African matrix has at its root the racism produced by the white people in relation to the black and indigenous population since the 16th century in Brazil, it is relevant to analyze the growth of religious racism, by the fact that this violence almost always victimizes black-skinned individuals who are followers of Candomblé, Umbanda and other religions that have their origins in African culture. The general objective of the research is to investigate how journalistic articles (re)produce and express the privileges of whiteness and religious racism against African-based religious when they report this type of violence. As specific objectives, it seeks to a) identifying how the Bahian media addresses facts of violence against African-based religious that occurred in Bahia between 2019 and 2021; b) analyzing which social actors and which elements mobilized in these discourses (re)produce racism when they speak of religious intolerance against African-based religions and intensify violence against victims of this type of crime; c) reflecting on coping strategies and resistance practices of African-based religious groups and movements in the face of this type of violence. Taking the media as a producer of truth and documental research as a method that responds to the purposes of this research, I propose this methodology to achieve it. The investigation will be carried out by analyzing the materials in dialogue with theoretical-conceptual tools of authors who discuss whiteness, race and racism, such as Grada Kilomba, Silvio de Almeida and Sidnei Nogueira, among others. It is expected that the research will make it possible to reflect on how whiteness is implicated in the production of religious racism in Brazil.
