Abstract
Ao observarmos as condições sócio-históricas e culturais de formação da sociedade brasileira, podemos apontar a escravidão como uma das principais dimensões para sua constituição e o racismo consequente disso como algo estruturante da realidade, das relações e dos processos de subjetivação. As formas de perpetuação do racismo são variados atos e tipos de mensagens e representações direcionadas às minorias raciais a fim de desprezá-las e segregá-las. Neste ensaio, nos debruçamos sobre o discurso humorístico, desdobrando o quanto ele pode ser reforçador de um chamado “racismo recreativo” – tal como conceitua Adilson Moreira -, mas, também pode servir a criticar a ordem racista quando inverte o alvo da zombaria e escarnece de pessoas brancas preconceituosas. Nossas considerações se fundamentam nas noções de um “humor politicamente incorreto crítico” e de um “humor do discurso reverso” correlacionadas com um recorte bastante panorâmico do humorismo praticado por comediantes brasileiros negras e negros.
When we take a look to the social-historical and cultural conditions of the Brazilian society formation , we can point out that slavery is one of the main dimensions for its constitution and consequently racism is something structuring social and psychological relations. The ways for perpetuating this are varied acts and several kinds of messages and representations targeting racial minorities in order to despise and segregate them. Here we focus on humour discourse, unpacking how it could reinforce a “recreative racism” – as it is conceptualised by Adilson Moreira -, but also could serve to criticise the racist order when it inverts the target of the mockery and makes fun of prejudiced white people. Our considerations are based on “critical politically incorrect humour” and “humour of reverse discourse” notions and we correlated them with a cut of humour made by some black Brazilian comedians.
