Apartheid: um modelo de (des)ressonância em Achille Mbembe

Abstract

Abstrat

In this work, whose theme is apartheid: A method of resonance, which the world has already experienced in history, I intend to understand whether this form of colonization matches up with alienation. Apartheid is understood in the context of race that Achille Mbembe discusses in his research, as a system that used the notion of race to separate blacks and whites, creating a relationship of reification between human beings. In South Africa, apartheid lasted approximately 45 years, in which blacks were enslaved and suffered a swim experience in which everything was taken from them, including their own "soul", which no longer belonged to them. Violence was a key feature of the current regime's relationship, followed by the balkanization of South Africans into tribes by placing them in unsavory territories (Bantustans) and then taking over the best native lands. Apartheid alienated blacks from their existence as regards the framework of traditional values, becoming alien to themselves by making them lose their identity. In proclaiming the inequality, the regime showed that it did not intend to establish a harmonious relationship between the peoples, but rather hostility. Resonance is possible in the relationship between human beings when there is a segment of dialogue that is based on mutual recognition, in which, in the dialogue, each participant resonates his / her voice without preconditioning. The resonance's ability to be based on the experience of violence and indifference is fundamental because it should not be synonymous with harmony and the blessing helps to repair the mistakes made to overcome them and get out of this relationship crisis and resume the resonance. So here, ubuntu was seen as a phase-by-crisis strategy, a new form of resonance found by South Africans in light of traditional African roots.
