THE MORAL CAREER OF BRAZILIAN QUOTE STUDENTS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE BENEFICIARY’S IDENTITY AFTER ENTRY INTO AN IES
Affirmative Actions; Beneficiaries; Moral Career; Identity.
Affirmative actions in Brazil, according to some authors, have a history that is not recent, their adoption occurred as a result of attempts to improve labor relations, still in the first decades of the 20th century. Nowadays, its reality is presented in a different way, but its principles of serving parts of the population in situations of discrimination do not deserve it. Outside of Brazil, where it received a definition and underwent changes, its role was also the same, and began with mitigating inequalities against minorities (Feres Junior et. al., 2018). It is noted that here his path had as its starting point, when FHC recognized the country as truly racist and to resolve this, it would be necessary to create effective devices (Guimaraes, 2009). Such measures were adopted here, under the name of Quotas, providing for the reservation of places in public universities, the first episodes dating back to the beginning of the 21st century. A specific target audience began to benefit from this, and, in the same period, several studies began to point to the results of the first experiments. It can be seen that the contributions presented good news, and it made sense to adopt the method, this is a necessarily political approach. Even after two decades of the first experiments, the research outlines seem the same, for this reason I seek to present a new reading for this event, and this thesis will present a subjective aspect of affirmative actions, based on the life stories of the beneficiaries.
