Abstract

This article aims to examine a social phenomenon built over centuries not only in Brazilian society, but throughout the world, which culminates in the definition of a dominant and dominating aesthetic: the aesthetics of exclusion that has always been naturalized in Brazilian territory. This expression has been built over the years through slave-owning, segregating, classist and
“aporophobic” practices that also unfold into other phobias for economically vulnerable and naturally subordinated groups. This work uses some excerpts from the history of Brazil, authors of Brazilian social thought and current issues that highlight the discrepancy, also stimulated by aesthetic differentiations that interfere in an arbitrary way, naturalizing such practices and increasing the distance between those who will be excluded by their aesthetics.
