RIBEIRO, Alan Augusto Moraes. Insult games: verbal epithets among students of the School at Amazonia. Tese apresentada a Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo para obtenção do título de Doutor em Educação. This thesis presents a study of offensive games played among middle school students of the School of pegagogic excellence at brazilian amazonic region. These games consist of exchanges of verbal insults and/or non verbal acts between two or more participants. All of these pranks are composed of a group of interpersonal relationships and social interactions that relate to identitary processes involving the intersection of social categories such as race, gender and class. By way of ethnographic research and interviews, I describe the ways in which the different conceptions of what is considered offensive or derogatory and what is considered funny among the students is related to processes of self perception in their daily school life that bring forth the microhierarchies, subordination procedures and humiliation practices between the students involved in the pranks as well as other conflictive modalities of social interaction in the school. This dissertation points to making visible the variabilities and arbitrary aspects present in the native definitions of what is considered offensive-derogatory or mere joking among the research subjects using different accounts or narratives developed by the interviewees as polarized semantic definitions. In other words, I will identify, explain, and describe ethnographically in what moments and situations a verbal epithet or a non verbal act comes to be defined as offensive-derogatory. Analyzing formal interviews and informal conversations I intend to describe how is it that a word or a non verbal act mobilizes an offensive insult that opposes a comic-ludicity in some moments but in others not. Some of the main questions that this dissertation explores are: What is the influence of the school socialization and the lived experiences of the students in the school on their definitions of what is considered offensive and what is considered a joke? Do their lived experiences in spaces outside the school influence these definitions of what is an insult or a joke in the school? What are the native terms used to identify these verbal exchanges? How do these practices mobilize race, gender and class to weave masculinities, femininities and interpersonal politics that establish “allies” and “adversaries” friendships and animosities between the students? From the beginning I present these pranks or games as arguments and exchanges that are composed simultaneously of stigmatizing insults that make reference to collective caricature stereotypes imposed over someone grotesquely because of situations and behaviors that are different or not from a established behavioral pattern defined as the norm of the school socialization,or in other words as normal and accepted jokes and pranks between the students that develop group relationships or cliques in the school. Afterwards, I establish three heuristic modalities of verbal jokes (sistematized after research done on the topic) that interact within themselves to comprehend the complexities of the observed practices. The first of these modalities consists on a insult game that mobilizes words and offensive humiliating acts that end in identity damages and broken relationships among the students involved. The second modality is the joking game, an exchange that involves playfulness and, on its limits, a problematic comic relief. The third modality is the joking and insulting game, this exchange involves ludic characteristics, playfulness and comic relief that may result in insults, identity damages and broken relationships among the students involved. I also describe subjects and practices that mobilize in a specific manner verbal insults of racial or sexual nature that reference to stereotypes, racialized masculinities and femininities from a perspective that visibilizes the political agency of Black young middle class men and Black young working class women.
