The production is associated with the Postgraduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Bahia (PPGE/UFBA), in the Education, Society and Pedagogical Praxis concentration area - research line Education, Corporal Culture and Leisure. The objective of the thesis was to understand the marks (effects) of meaning of teachers about black corporal inscriptions in the Teacher Training Center of the Federal University of the Recôncavo da Bahia (CFP/UFRB), in Amargosa - BA. The UFRB is a higher education institution created by a policy of interiorization of federal higher education, sanctioned in 2005 in the territory of the Recôncavo da Bahia. The reflections crossed experiences in the research groups History of Corporal Culture, Education, Sport, Leisure and Society (HCEL/UFBA) and Teaching, Curriculum and Training (DOCFORM/CFP/UFRB). This is a qualitative approach mediated by elements of the methodology of historical research of the present time, using as technique of data analysis the production of meanings, a model of data circulation that transforms signs into meanings. The comprehension devices used for data production were the literature review, documentary research with scientific articles and theses, characterization questionnaires (forwarded by Google Forms), as well as analyses marked by principles of oral tradition (interviews in a virtual environment on the Google Meet platform) and imagetic records (photographs) in the research context. The interviews were conducted with self-declared black men and women professors, permanent in the CFP (UFRJ). The fundaments of the study encompass a socio-anthropological reading of the research concern, fed by approaches to the epistemological lenses of Post-Colonial Studies, not limited to this lens of interpretation of reality. In terms of structure, we evidence the production in multi-paper format, nevertheless we seek to develop the central objective of the thesis throughout articles emphasizing the circulation of ideas. We emphasize reflections about the production of meaning mediated by social and cultural markers, especially the marks (effects) of meaning linked to the idea of black reference that circulates in the dynamics of being and belonging in the social mirror, presents in the CFP (UFRB). As results, we reflect on historical mystifications that generate the sentence of habitual coexistence with racism and the tendencies of black bodies to disappear from themselves. We investigate the circulation of meanings in academic productions (scientific articles and theses), measuring its potential as a semantic vector and the challenges posed by the need to (re)conceptualize the practices and signs that permeate the black corporal inscriptions at the university. Finally, we problematize various uses and meanings of these inscriptions, mediated by experiences that permeate the trajectories of teachers. Considering the circulation of marks and effects of meaning, the CFP is involved in a symbolic aura, coated by nuances before the affirmation of the UFRB as a black university.
