SUMMARY:

This dissertation focuses on the textual production of the physician and traveler François Bernier, known as the first to divide the world into racial categories linked to phenotype, to the physical characteristics of the body. Thus, one can see in his writings a whole glimpse and prediction of an idea that comes to be fixed over the centuries. The gain of this research is, especially, in the original translation of the text "A New Division of the Earth" by the aforementioned author and, also, in the analysis of how colonial inequalities and gender expectations were fundamental to the constitution of this primordial racial categorization. Thus, from the intersection between race and gender in Bernier's writings, it is possible, at the same time, to trace a genealogy of racism in the modern world and, also, to understand how the elements inherent to the racial arrangement can be criticized, mobilized, rearticulated and reimagined by the black population, in order to formulate strategies of escape/liberation from colonial domination.
