Corpo, cultura e educação (física) nos quilombos da Serra.

Abstract

In Brazil, the process of European colonization and the criminal enslavement of African subjects, contributed to the fact that racism was structured in such a way as to deny the knowledge and practices of black bodies and their cultures in different social spaces, including Education. However, even in the face of violence and marginalization, these bodies resisted and imposed different elements of their culture on national formation. Among the forms of resistance, we highlight the formation of quilombos, since, in these collective articulations, struggles and maintenance of knowledge were carried out, which make them rich spaces to analyze the effectiveness of educational proposals that dialogue with the knowledge, languages and practices of black bodies, as well as with the propositions of Law 10.639 / 03. Questioning this reality, we established as questions for the Thesis: what knowledge, languages and practices of the black body are present in the communities of remaining quilombolas? How should school Physical Education take ownership of the knowledge, languages and practices of quilombola black bodies in their formative practice to effect an education in ethnic-racial relations? In view of these, we defined as an objective, to identify and analyze the knowledge, languages and practices of black bodies inserted within the cultural reality of the communities of the quilombola remnants of Sítio Pêga and Sítio Arrojado / Engenho Novo, in the city of Portalegre - RN. Methodologically we opted for an ethnographic research, in which the insert in the remaining quilombo communities to conduct participant observation, interviews, document collections and others. In addition, we also conduct documentary research and observations in schools that serve students in quilombola communities and interviews with Physical Education teachers there. As a result, we mapped the knowledge of the bodies of the black subjects in movement / quilombola, separating them into the following categories: nature body, faith body, work body, ancestral body and (in) visible body. Based on the knowledge presented in each category, in the dialogue established with the schools and with the readings carried out during the construction of the thesis, we leave as a final proposition one aquilombamento in school Physical Education that ensures that the knowledge and practices of the black body in movement are present in the spaces of formation to effect an education of ethnic-racial relations, from intercultural, anti-racist and decolonizing perspectives.
