Redes sociais e as relações étnico-raciais: refletindo uma conscientização antirracista

Abstract

The present study emerges with the objective of constructing reflections and discussions for anti-racist awareness with a view to social networks and ethnic-racial relations. As researchbased questions, the following concerns are proposed; 1) How does Ethnic-Racial Relations occur on Social Networks? 2) Do racist speeches occur on Social Networks? 3) What are the main discourses that social media users give in racist practices? In the methodology, we move through research research or precisely with bibliographic research, understanding that it consists in the objective of gathering information and data that serve as a basis for the construction of the research proposed from the theme, thus limiting discussions as a way of deepening, we take as a basis Gil (2002) and Lakatos and Marconi (2003). Thus, hypothetically, it is based on the extension that these studies are quite timely, since there is an inseparable relationship between thematic axes and that technological changes occur mainly by the flow of creation and use, whether social, communicational, informational, which comes all the time to assist in the daily life of the subjects, in addition to meeting specific market needs. The importance of anti-racist awareness on the part ofsubjects who use social networks is extremely important, in justification of the diversity of media and access existing in networks. It is essential that we are in the age of connection and this has placed us in synergy with virtual space, urban and mobility. The era of mobility is conditional on cyberspace and this is inseparable - this technological space that instead of spreading hatred and discrimination, sometimes ends up propagating and not providing an anti-racist awareness to users. We need the exercise of a critical-reflexive and attentive look at the peculiarities that involve the process of information production, the way that the subjects position themselves in the world consciously, in the face of a context strongly marked by the technological revolution and the mass circulation of information constantly. In this sense, it is understood that from the proposed studies, it will make relevant in the scientific field, serving for future studies and research by other subjects in the field of Human Sciences and also for the sub-areas Education and Teaching, or social sciences, contemplating investigations in Sociology, in Anthropology and Political Science and others that take the media and ethnic-racial relations as possible ways to reflect identities and cultures in their diversities, understanding the subject as a social being.
