Resumo: This doctoral study investigates the construction of socio-personal identity through focal group discussions among 10 black Brazilian women, all graduate students in Education, ethnic-racial relations, and society, in the city of São Paulo between the years 2016-2017. Identity studies are an important part of Applied Linguistics and Language Studies because they provide a social construct that allows, through language, elucidation of behaviors, social representations, and beliefs, and gives voice to those groups that are often silenced in the power spaces of society. This study considers study of black Brazilian women’s situation in society to be urgent, given that the discourses that involve them are impregnated with negative assessments that do not reflect their reality and social contribution. For the constitution of the corpus, we asked the participants to read and discuss literary texts with ethnic-racial themes, using focus group techniques. The dialogical analysis of the discourses produced in the focal group encounters was based on the theoretical-methodological foundations of Bakhtin and the Circle. We mobilized the concepts of dialogism, ideological sign, and theme. The focus group technique promoted interaction between the participants. The choice of literary texts for discussion stimulated a discourse filled with self-reflection, memory, and social and cultural criticism. The thematic content of the stories and poems guided the focus of discussions at the meetings, but the participants positioned themselves as subjects, reframing the texts and attributing meanings to them, which constituted in themselves a unique, singular, and unrepeatable theme, linked to the moment of enunciation. The discourses present in the texts and those produced by the participants intertwined and dialogued with socio-historical themes, discourses on social psychology, anthropology, and sociology, constituting an arena of ideological signs in constant debate. In this way, dialogical relations were established, permeated by evaluative matrices and axiological positions. The participants revealed their socio-personal identity by responding to the thematic content of the texts. The Afro hair of the participants, as an extension of the black body, proved to be an important ideological sign that reflects and refracts racist beliefs. The relationship of each participant with their hair highlighted the theme as a constitutive part of their socio-personal identity. Discovering the black identity was a metaphor used by the participants to highlight their awareness of racism in Brazil, which excludes them and significantly affects all spheres of their lives. Assumption of their racial identity is related to signs of empowerment, struggle and resistance against the racial oppression to which they are subjected
