The study object of this thesis is the process of affirmation, (re)construction and(re)signification of the black identities in the discourses which cross the samba-enredoof African theme of the samba schools belonging to the elite group from the cariocacarnival, in the period from 1960 and 2007. The main question which guides thisresearch is the following: How does this discursive process occur and which are thepossible effects resulting from it? This research aims to understand, throughinterpretation gestures of such discourses and from those which undergo the interviewstatements and the answers given to the questionnaires applied to spectators and paradeexhibiters of these samba schools, in what way the negritude conception and thecitizenship practice of the black Brazilian people, especially those from Rio de Janeiro,can be affected by the meaning production circulating in the discursive practices ofthese sambas. The research was theoretically related to the Applied Linguistics,however it articulates theories originated from Cultural Studies and Ethnic-racialStudies as well as it presents some theoretical and methodological fundamentals fromthe Discourse Analysis of French line. As concerns the methodology, it is ofinterpretative, qualitative basis with procedures of discursive character. The interviewanalysis did not reveal, as consequence of the discourses circulating in the sambas, adirect involvement of the black people who were interviewed in struggle for theircitizenship practice, but it pointed out sliding of meaning in regard to the negritudeemergence
