THE ETHNIC-RACIAL HETEROIDENTIFICATION COMMITTEES AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE QUOTA LAW IN TWO SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITIES.
Self-declaration, heteroidentification, college education, miscegenation, UFRRJ, UFOP.
The Law no. 12.711 / 2012, updated by Law no. 13.409 / 2016, reserves vacancies for blacks, browns and indigenous people (called PPI's), among other categories of quotas, being the only common feature of them all, having completed full high school education in a public institution. To apply for a vacancy in this ethnic-racial sub-quota, it is currently necessary to fill out a form stating his or her ethnic-racial status, conditioned to the acknowledgment of an ethnic-racial heteroidentification committee, however, this was not always the case, since the performance of this committee started not long ago. Previously, the candidate for the vacancy reserved for blacks, only performed the self-declaration written by himself, as it still happens in some federal universities. In this context, we present as a general objective to investigate whether the heteroidentification commissions, created by Normative Ordinance No. 4 of 2018, were constituted as an effective mechanism for the implementation of Law No. 12,711 / 2012 at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ ) and at the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP). The established time frame is from 2013 to 2019. The thesis has a qualitative approach and presents quantitative data necessary to elucidate the facts. Regarding its nature, it is a basic research because it seeks to generate new knowledge, consistent with the improvement of academic-scientific research. Concerning the objectives, it is a descriptive research. As procedures I opted for the case study, the cases of UFRRJ and UFOP; the documentary analysis of public notices, deliberations and normative guidelines at the federal level, which includes the implementation of Law 12.711 / 2012 and the performance of heteroidentification committees; ex-post-facto research, bibliographic research and action research. The data collection instruments used here were the survey questionnaire and the semi-structured interview. At this core, I came to the number of 14 subjects in this research. I emphasize that in order to analyze the participants' narratives, I chose to use the discourse analysis elements supported by Rojo (2004) and Orlandi (2013), who supported it by understanding language as an essential mediation between subjects without opposition to the individuals' socio-historical context, capturing in this way, the analysis of the discourse as a procedure aimed at unveiling the social dialect, and the communicative components as discursive elements. Siss (2003, 2005), Carvalho (2020), Pace (2019), Santos (2020a e 2020b), Schwarcz (1993), Otranto (2009) e Bortolanza (2017),Munanga (2008), Gomes (2005), Ball (1993), Ball and Mainardes (2006), Bourdieu and Passeron (2014) were the main theoretical contribution.
