ESPINOSA BONILLA, Adriana. Frames and Discursive Practices between State and Black Populations in Colombia: Structural Racism and Human Rights. univ.humanist. [online]. 2014, n.78, pp.307-330. ISSN 0120-4807.

This article discusses the way the discourses and counter-discourses have been used in the construction of frames on behalf of the actor-network, Process of Black Communities, in its dialogue with the Colombian government within the framework of the hearings of the Inter-american Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) between 2007 and 2013. Theoretically, the notions of biopower, biopolitics, governmentality and discursive practices developed by Michel Foucault are addressed , as well as the theory of frames by Snow and Bendford. Methodologically, audios and videos of the hearings before the Commission are analyzed. In the analysis of the interaction between State and Afro petitioners there were identified frames, discourses and counter-discourses related to racism, territoriality, victimization of afro populations and women, and armed conflict. The findings identify frames around the issue of human rights, aimed at harnessing the discursive and political opportunities opened by the Commission to influence the decisions of the state actor.

Palavras-chave : discursive practices; frames; human rights; biopolitics; biopower; governmentality; black organizations; process of black communities; racism and miscegenation; discursive practices against blacks.
