Pode a educação não ser corporal? Escritas no/do/com o corpo sobre memórias, saberes, educação e processos identitários

Abstract

This work seeks to think of the body as a locus of memory, production and circulation of knowledge that is expressed in cultural practices present in everyday life, inside and outside of school. Focusing on Afro-Brazilian identities/narratives, we approach their corporeality as epistemological strategies that tension the body-mind binary with the aim of rethinking education models that exclude other forms of knowledge, and propose the recognition and valorization of the corporal grammars of Afrodiaspora as a cultural expression and the result of strategies that constitute the collective memory of black Brazilians, in order to confront the model of knowledge politics that monorationalizes us in the logic of Western reason. The proposal seeks to highlight the importance of corporeality in educational processes, inside and outside the school, as a protagonist of the process. And for this, its arguments are listening to the archive body in its diverse experiences of existence and brings the need to investigate the knowledge resulting from Afrodiasporic body grammars.
