This thesis has as its theme the reading of the social right to leisure from the political-cultural category of Amefricanity, developed by Lélia Gonzalez, in order to investigate the racial aspect of the idea of leisure and the experiences of black people in the production of leisure in Rio de Janeiro city. The question that arises is how racialization dynamics guide/structure the theory of leisure and leisure policies, added to the question of how the resistance of black people in the field of leisure is designed. Articulating the concepts of biopower and necropower with the concept of Amefricanity as visceral resistance to extermination, we investigate leisure as a component of the death policy drawn from race and the route of resistance and recreation by black people. The work is organized in two parts, the first, in which the theoretical assumptions of leisure studies and the idea of modern leisure presented by them are faced in order to investigate the racial construction of this concept, presenting modern leisure as part of a proposal from docile bodies to capitalist production and sanitize society, using whiteness as a parameter. The second part presents the results of field research, carried out through semistructured interviews with ten black people who work with cultural production in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in order to investigate how leisure production is designed by amefrican subjects, their agencies and challenges from black art. The methodology used was that of storytelling, centered on narratives as a way of informing the Law. The analysis is crossed by the personal and professional stories of the interviewees, covering activities such as jongo, slam, passinho, theater and audiovisual production. Thus, the aim is to present a proposal for a political-epistemic renegotiation of the right to leisure centered on the production of American subjects.
