OS DIREITOS HUMANOS NÃO CHEGAM PARA TODOS E TODAS

uma reflexão sobre a racionalidade moderna e a desumanização dos corpos negros no Brasil

Abstract

This work is based on a critical decolonial perspective, with the main aim of resisting the hegemonic standards imposed by modern rationality and denouncing the reverberations of this model on black bodies in Brazil. The scope of this production, far from exhausting the debate, aims to contribute to the examination of the ways in which the epistemological limits developed since modernity contribute to the continuity of colonial domination and the subordination of black bodies in Brazil. There is no separating the institute of Human Rights from its epistemic roots. This humanizing instrument was born with the pretension of promoting equality between individuals, but it is counterproductively subsidized by a homogenizing, universalizing, racializing matrix of thought.  Reinforcing the technologies of subordination and domination of black bodies in Brazil. The imposed modern rationality perpetuates the extermination of what represents diversity and instrumentalizes the genocide of beings that deviate from the imposed universality. In this paper, we will highlight some epistemological constructions that reveal, to some extent, this role played by the import of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and how this movement is capable of supporting the violence suffered by the non-white population in Brazil
