Race-making, Police, and Globalized White Hegemony: A relational study of racialization in urban France and Brazil

我提议的研究是对法国和巴西城市警察和白人形成的方式进行比较研究。我在研究中提出的方法与警察研究的批评观点和批评种族理论交叉。我基于马蒂诺(2003)、吉尔摩(2007)、法辛(2013)和阿尔维斯(2018)等作家的主要假设是，警察代表着当代种族制造的基本结构，是构建白人霸权的重要因素。在我的硕士论文中，我对法国警察进行了一次人种学探索。我建议，在这种种族色盲的背景下，警察从事社会空间实践，制定一种以种族关系的普及和否认为定义的民族方言。基于论文提出的质询，这项博士研究的目的有两个：构建种族主义过程运行机制的详细解读，以及构建一个分析警察世界的种族镜头。为此，我将对法国和巴西的警察进行一项相关研究。在这两个背景下，我探索了警察可用的常规结构、程序、做法和技术，以及它们揭示的种族逻辑。特别是，我对警察参与白人的种族主义和空间化的过程提出质疑。

My proposed research is a comparative study of the ways in which police and the formation of whiteness intersect in urban France and Brazil. The approach I present in my research intersects critical standpoints of policing studies and critical race theory. My main hypothesis based on writers such as Martinot (2003), Gilmore (2007), Fassin (2013), and Alves (2018) is that police stands for a primary structure of contemporary race-making, and a vital agent to the construction of white hegemony. In my MSc dissertation, I conducted an ethnographic exploration of the French police. I suggested that in this racial color-blind context, the police engage in socio-spatial practices enacting a national dialectic defined by the pervasiveness and denial of racial relations. Based on the interrogations raised by the dissertation, the PhD research's aim is twofold: construct a detailed reading of the mechanisms by which processes of racialization operate, and build a racial lens through which to analyse the world of policing.To do so, I will conduct a relational study of police in France and Brazil. In both settings, I explore the routine structures, procedures, practices and technologies that police have available, and the racial logics they reveal. In particular, I question the processes by which the police engage in the racialization and spatialization of whiteness.
