Abstract

Ethnic identity has been a much debated theme in the social and human sciences, because it is inherent in the study of human groups around the world. Thus, this article presents a brief analysis of the film narrative elaborated by the Quilombola community New hope of remnants, Located in the municipality of Wenceslau Guimarães (Bahia, Brasil), cujas histórias permeiam a construção da identidade étnica em documentários em vídeo produzidos pelos próprios moradores em sua busca de reconhecimento, com vistas à obtenção de direitos garantidos pelo Estado. The article targets both the narrative elements and the political dimension that involves ethnic recognition within the scope of identity and belonging. We use video documentary film analysis as a method in the light of theorists who focus on discussing Ethnic Identity, Culture, and Communication. Throughout the analysis it is possible to understand the strategies elaborated by the authors of the video documentary, technical weaknesses and lack of neutrality in the elaboration of the script. It was possible to conclude that in making the documentary the community enhances or suppresses their ethnic identities, as well as defines boundaries between who is or is not descended from the founding ancestors to enhance the local culture, as inheritance and belonging. The video documentary, although amateur, is original and achieves the goal intended by the community under study. The present study is therefore relevant for other peoples with similar processes to be inspired by the search for local visibility.
