O preconceito em relação à comunidade Kaingang da terra indígena rio das cobras (Nova Laranjeiras/PR) na percepção de estudantes indígenas da UFFS (Campus Laranjeiras do Sul/PR)

Abstract

This research intends to deepen the theme of prejudice and the visibility of discrimination suffered by the Kaingang indigenous people of the Rio das Cobras Indigenous Land, in the municipality of Nova Laranjeiras/PR. We understand that the forms of prejudice and discrimination suffered by indigenous peoples in the region are associated with the condition of emergence of differences: either by affirming and manipulating the condition of difference, or by its insistent denial or dissimulation. In both cases, we understand that the non-recognition of differences or the lack of respect for them are present, creating new patterns of violence. The reflection that we intend to do in this work aims to understand the existence of a bridge between prejudice and violence, which emphasizes the various forms of discrimination and exclusion and comprises the following aspects: the legal parameters in relation to existing and recognizing; the social sciences in view of the construction of differences/similarities and the conceptual foundations of the prejudice category in its derivatives in relation to those of discrimination and social exclusion. In this case, we want to investigate the mechanisms of prejudice: it is clear that there are situations that involve prejudice against indigenous people inside and outside the community, these situations occur at school, in stores and at the health center that provides care to indigenous people. In this bias, the interest in the research originates in the intention that this study can contribute to alleviate this problem. To carry out this research, we used the methodology of interviews with indigenous students from the Rio das Cobras Indigenous Land enrolled at the Federal University of Fronteira Sul - UFFS, at Campus Laranjeiras do Sul-PR, discussing situations still experienced by the indigenous academics interviewed.
