Abstract:

This paper discusses exclusion from the perspective of a developing country – Brazil – associating semantic peculiarities of the behavior of different social groups and actors and relating them to the hierarchical structure that shapes society. Aiming to uncover these unconscious mechanisms, the article seeks to stimulate the individual reflection on the role that each one plays in the maintenance of the inequities inherent to social life in this context.
