SUMMARY:

The dissertation shows the impacts of the cinematographic work `Tropa de Elite: missão dada é missão cumprida" (Elite Troop: mission given is mission accomplished", directed by José Padilha, 2007). The film had one of the highest box office sales of 2007 in Brazil. The main objective was to discuss how Fanon's (2008, p.162) narratives, representations and archetypes alluding to black people, present in filmic works, are relevant to the formation of racial readings of geographic space. The research also aimed to understand the extent to which cinema influences spatial readings and/or the construction of spatialities for the black population in Brazilian society. Tripp's action research methodology (2005, p.446) was chosen due to its open system nature, susceptible to modifications throughout development in response to discovered demands. The research includes subjects who are active participants in the process. At the same time, we developed the process of methodological praxis with undergraduate classes of the Didactics course at the Fluminense Federal University (UFF). Our meetings explored issues related to invisibility, subalternity and stereotypes attributed to black people in the film, expanding the debate on archetypes. The research results went beyond the specific analysis of the film, extending to a broader reflection on racism and the urgency of building new representations within the scope of cinematic entertainment, aligned with practices for anti-racist education.
