Abstract
Stories in which the presence of black characters escapes the stereotype, when narrated in the classroom, can contribute to the construction of an education that aims for a more egalitarian society and a more equitable social imaginary. Thus, in this text we propose a discussion on the repositioning of the literary productions of folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo based on Law 10.639 (Brazil, 2003a) - which makes the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture compulsory in schools - and Stuart Hall's Theory of Representation (2016). We sought to take a fresh look at the legends "Romãozinho" and "O Negrinho do Pastoreio" and reflect on the place of black characters in the regime of representation of "Lendas brasileiras", the work of the folklorist. We observed that these characters were stereotyped and, for this reason, it is necessary to approach the legends in the classroom with a critical eye and new approaches aimed at narrating black people within a new regime of representation.
