Abstract

Baseado em pesquisa realizada junto a um grupo de mulheres negras inscritas no II Curso de Formação Profissional de Mulatas, promovido pelo SENAC-RJ, o artigo resgata e analisa as categorias através das quais as alunas representam sua condição de mulata e a passagem à condição de mulata profissional. Representante e mediadora de uma brasilidade que se faz feminina, sensual e mestiça, a mulata profissional se debate, necessária e permanentemente, entre dois pólos, simultaneamente profissionais e morais: de um lado, o pólo positivo, da dançarina; de outro lado, o pólo negativo e ameaçador, da prostituta.Based on a research carried out with a group of black women enrolled in the II Course for Professional Formation of Mulatas, the article recovers and analyses the categories through which the students represent their condition of mulatta and their passing to the condition of professional mulata. The mulata, who represents and mediates a Brazilian way of being a woman, sensual and race-mixed, the professional mulata debates herself, permanently, between two poles which are both professional and moral: on the one hand, there is a positive pole, of being a dancer, on the other, there is a threatening and negative one, of being a prostitute.
