HQ Turma do Ubuntu: o percurso de construção de uma afrobetizadora

Abstract

Many steps have been taken towards confronting racism and education for race relations, but it still seems challenging to find and develop practices aimed at education that also prioritize the teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian history and cultures, even after 20 years. years of law 10639. As a literacy teacher, the concern and study about literacy is something inherent, and as an Afrobetizer, there is a need for this work that seeks to intertwine racial issues, literacy and its narratives by approaching the epistemological fields of literacy and the offices to find and develop comic books within these perspectives. Of the literacies that go beyond alphabetical letters, the genre that uses different types of language, comic books are a type of narrative commonly used in classrooms and normally attractive to various age groups. From the intertwining of literacies and writing skills within an Afrobetization perspective, two main questions arise: What is the path to becoming an Afrobetizator? How is the construction, development and application of a black comic book? In addition to identifying the literary titles and comics used in the first years of elementary school, this work has as its premise the development of comics that contemplate and prioritize corporeality, (writing) experiences, ways of thinking, also of black childhoods, to reflect on the effects of its use. The set of comics that arise from the need to construct narratives within an identity perspective that gained the title HQ Turma do Ubuntu are the educational product that was being built in parallel with the research. The research is based on the subjectivity of reflecting and writing about becoming a subject, becoming black, becoming an Afrobetizer, therefore supporting discussions, interlocutions and narratives, Aparecida de Jesus FERREIRA (2014; 2015), Conceição EVARISTO (2007; 2016a; 2016b; 2017a; 2017b), Grada KILOMBA (2019), Neuza Santos SOUZA (2021). For a historical understanding of blackness in comic books, Nobuyoshi CHINEN (2012; 2018) and Fernanda Pereira SILVA (2018). Through this journey, it was possible to understand the layers of becoming, the gaps in the literary-artistic field for black childhoods and the construction of Afro-referenced narratives in comics.
