Resumo
Based on a proposal that sees communication beyond the media processes, this research
investigates how communicative actions present in everyday life corroborate to strengthen
discourses, ideologies and power relations, marginalizing, segregating and stigmatizing blacks
youths, once that it is not recognized by society as a social group formed by subjects of rights.
The racism over blackness and the black body establishes the stereotype of the black person’s
suspicion and attachment to banditry. This reality conceives a trajectory of violence, violations
and inconsistencies with the black population, which is blamed for the high crime rates that
increase the statistics of urban violence in the city of Goiânia. On the basis of racism and socioracial
hierarchization, blacks youths are subjugated and embedded in a chain of extirpation of
formal rights. They are also subject to violent actions by the society and the police, which has
it as the main target of investigations and preventive actions. The police violence is, therefore,
legitimated by society as a way of containing urban violence. This, in turn, is represented by
the association of the blacks youths to the crimes occurred in the spaces of the city. In addition
to the communicative processes of everyday life that contribute to the legitimacy of police
violence, media communication also ratifies racism and exclusion processes, since a discourse
of effectiveness and efficiency is used in the face of police actions that fight crime, under the
constant vigilance and punishment of blacks youth. With the use of the methodological
procedures of the focus group, linked to observation, reporting and documentary analysis, this
research aims to analyze how black bodies are instrumented by communicative actions to
legitimize police violence against the black youth. The reaffirmation of such bodies and the
recognition that it is essential to combat racism stemming from the stigmatization of black
bodies can be a strong point in the fight against racism.
