Infâncias nas redes educativas de Iemanjá no Ilê Omiojuarô

Abstract

This dissertation originates from the master's research developed at the Kékeré Research Group of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (PROPED / UERJ). The research we presented had as a broader desire (or general objective) to observe how the children experience the educational networks of Iemanjá in Ilê Omiojuarô, a candomblé terreiro, located in Miguel Couto, Nova Iguaçu (or experienced these networks since we also interviewed and we talked to young people who experienced their childhoods in this house). As a more particular desire we seek to understand the importance of these networks in the formation of these people, from childhood, including the articulation between education and racial issue. The intuition that moved us is that the educational networks of Iemanjá were constituted as fundamental networks in the formation of the subjects of our research. Our research path is part of what Terrestrial Children's Studies calls "Reparar kid, naré Kékeré", that is, we always seek to listen, observe and learn with the children of terreiros and with young people who narrate their childhoods. At the end of the research, we find consonance with the intuition (or hypothesis) that moved us. Iemanjá's educational networks have proved fundamental to the interlocutors of our research, inspiring ways of doing, thinking, fighting, feeling, facing and dreaming the world.
