Redes Educativas no Terreiro Ilè Omidayè: uma pesquisa com os cotidianos na cibercultura

Abstract

This work stems from the doctoral research developed in the Post-Graduation Program in Education in Rio de Janeiro State University - ProPEd / UERJ -, whose objective is to understand the educational networks constituted in Candomble communities and how they relate with the formative paths of their members through their narratives in interface with other spaces of cyberculture, especially Facebook, and in the cultural projects and activities with which they are involved. The field of research is the Candomble community Egbè Ilè Ìyá Omidayè Aṣé Obálayó, in its abbreviated form, Ilè Omidayè, located in the city of São Gonçalo, in Rio de Janeiro, led by Mãe Márcia d'Oxum, in interface with the cyberspace, especially with the Facebook. The members of the Candomblé community are constituted as research subjects. The pertinence and relevance of this study enrolled a broad movement of the epistemological perspective of multiple references to the daily contexts and by the adoption of the method of ethnography, presented in my proposition as ethnography in cyberculture. The intention of this work was to reveal how the narratives produced and circulated within Ilè Omidayè constitute, create, recreate and expand educational networks. With the dive in the field, some events and relevant cultural projects in the daily life of the community researched emerged as research devices, along with interactions in social networks, including those carried out in the online photodiary of research, many conversations, online and in person, and participation in events. The research findings reveal that the narratives and diverse creations of the research subjects relate to their formative pathways and their involvement with the Candomble community, promoting authorization processes, in which they become authors of themselves, which is enhanced by their uses of digital network. The role that Mãe Márcia assumes as a formator and articulator in these educational networks, with their knowledge and narratives of water, inspired by a way of being, doing, thinking and being in the world as Oxum, as a bond and connection, gathering and engaging people, is also characterized as a finding of the research
