“De uma chuva de manga ao funk de Lelê”: imagens da afrodiáspora em uma escola de Acari

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to discuss the standard of beauty in a historically hegemonic Muncipal Public School Early Childhood Education in the periphery of Rio de Janeiro, Acari. I have as assumption to the research that in this school “timespace” a tension between invisibility and visibility of heroes and heroines and their African and Afrobrazilian narratives in relation to identities is established, because in this school space part of human representation is preferably white-eurocentric, although individuals who go to that space - children and teachers - are mostly blacks and mestizos. It is in this daily school that I develop a research / intervention, linking play and technologies with contemporary children's literature. Intervention that proposes a discussion on the ethics and aesthetics. Such approach encourages me to investigate and discuss this school issues, regarding ethnic-racial, and emergencies of heroes and heroines of the “afrodiáspora”.
