Agueré: caminhos de transbordamento na afro-diáspora

Abstract

The present study proposed to follow the pathways of the Agueré overflow. This cultural complex is composed by music, beat and rhythm, singing and dancing. Here, the overflow is understood as something that cannot to be restrained due to it greatness, richness and beauty. Such overflow irrigates new lands favoring the emergence of new cultural manifestations. For this purpose, the subjects of the Agueré overflow and their narratives were studied to know their experiences and their ways of knowledge production. It allowed us to recognize other processes of knowledge construction, which became invisible by the hegemonic powers, over time and space. Such processes exists in Afrobrazilian religious temples (named terreiros) and their overflow is mediated by their bodies and ancestral cultural body memories, showing the interaction of senses, smells, tastes, textures, colors, sounds and many others nuances. Afterward, these achieved opened the door to discuss the education comparing formal and not formal spaces, and specifically how popular manifestations can destabilize the dominant order diffused since colonial age in Brazil
