A Temática Relações Étnico-raciais no Conbrace e Conice

Abstract

The productions focused on the theme of ethnic-racial relations have had a significant increase in the field of Brazilian education, this is mainly due to the fight against racism in Brazil. In this context, the Education Guidelines and Bases (in Portuguese, LDB) establishes through the Law 10.639 from 2003, the mandatory teaching of Afro-Brazilian history and culture and expands this reparation process with the Law 11.645 from 2008, making the study mandatory of indigenous and Afro-Brazilian history and culture in educational establishments. This article is a documentary and bibliographical research, of a qualitative and descriptive nature. The object of study was the analysis of the production of thematic working groups at the Brazilian Sports Science Congress (Conbrace) and the International Sports Science Congress (Conice), in the last three years, preceding the creation of the Working Group, Racial and Ethnic relations, with the aim of identifying, mapping and analysing works that dealt with racial issues within the scope of

Physical Education (PE). Despite the unexpected confrontation with Covid-19, experienced in Brazil and around the world at the beginning of 2020 and continuing into 2021 with considerable intensity (pandemic period), the steps that guided this investigation by accessing the official website of the Colégio Brasileiro de Ciência do Esporte (CBCE) and preparation of spreadsheets, tables and graphs, allowed us to demonstrate the increase in productions related to the theme compared to the initial year of this study; the largest concentration of research related to this article, occurred in the Working Group n.5 – School. Capoeira was present in the three years analyzed, with the theme of ethnic and racial relations being most discussed during the research; and authors from institutions located in the northeast region of Brazil were responsible for the majority of productions related to the theme of ethnic and racial relations included in Conbrace/Conice in the years analyzed. We conclude that the significant production related to the theme, throughout these last editions of the event, consolidated the petition and its duly substantiated justifications, presented by letter by three members of the CBCE, which was the main initiative that culminated in the creation of the Working Group n.13 – named Ethnic and racial Relations.
