Abstract

In this article, we analyzed speeches on blackface in the fashionism and beauty world from the demand for the black representation and protagonism as opposed to a artistic freedom of expression in the area. A case of blackface published by cosmetics company Avon in its social network was investigated. The analysis consisted of present speeches in the comments registered in that publication. Data were categorized and analyzed based on the aspect of critical discourse analysis theorized by Dijk (2012). It was evident that racist practices are still widespread in society and its recognition is still hampered by his naturalization. It was also shown that the perception of blackface as art or racist practice is not directly related to the skin color of the person who looks but your cognitive perception grounded in their culture, life experience, critical skills, historical knowledge, among other factors.
