Transgressões ao estigma de mulher negra e projeções de um self ressignificado

Abstract

Based on the concept of Stigma by Goffman (1988), this article analyses the narrative from an interview with a black woman who retraces her life during her narrative, distancing herself from the stigma imposed by society on a black woman. It aims to locate and understand the stigma rupture and the face protections and self projection moments through the transgression of her established destiny. For this purpose, the interview was subjected to interactional discourse analysis, through categorical devices offered by interactional sociolinguistics, narrowing the narrative analysis. The result is the effort to deconstruct the participant’s stigmatizing signs, which resignifies the racist marks and social stigmas suffered by a black woman
