Dissonance and asymmetries in knowledge production of researchers from UFPB: (in) visible themes about black people

The issues of interest of black population walks slowly in the knowledge production ofresearchers of post-graduate public universities, and result in a poor historiography aboutbrazilian black man/woman, raising new studies and research that reveals the state of the artdoing science so invisible. The literature adopted permitted an understanding that the thinkingacademic continues crystallized in the gestures of domination of the white elite in the name of auniversality that distorts the image of black man/woman and refuses to include its history,memory and culture as a relevant knowledge and contributory to the formation of Braziliansociety. The article aims specific objective to identify the frequency themes worked about blackman/woman in the knowledge production of researchers from the post-graduate of the FederalUniversity of Paraíba, taking as the empirical field the database Curriculum Lattes - CNPq.Methodologically, we adopted a qualitative approach according to which researcher is insertedinto context to understand the meanings produced, and illustrated the results with the quantitativeapproach. The research instruments used consisted of worksheets and tables for data collection,categorization and its elaboration of categories. The technique of critical analysis used toconclude that the process of exclusion of black population in the production of knowledge inuniversities is not distance from the context of the last century, where the individual andcollective memory about black man/woman was, at times, erased and also it considered low inthe production of science based on Eurocentric model. Currently, this science is nurtured byelements as choices and decisions discriminatory causing t he knowledge of the black populationto become (in)visible in the production of knowledge from universities.
