Práxis de percurso nas narrativas de jovens mulheres kalunga

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze aspects of the education/training of young Kalunga women, based on the praxis of paths presented in the narratives of identity and memory. The concept of path praxis is used as support, which is the practice around experience and experience, as analyzed by authors such as Sanchez Vasquez (2011) and Conceição Evaristo (2020). The question that arises is: how does the praxis of paths reflect aspects of education/training in the lives of young Kalunga women? The specific objectives are: carry out a bibliographic survey about the education/training of black women in Brazil; draw a biographical profile of young Kalunga women; to analyze how young Kalunga women signify and build their path praxis in the aspects of education/training and to find out how the social and cultural relations of the Kalunga territory cross their path praxis, considering how processes of belonging/strengthening of traditional culture of the Kalunga peoples or processes of erasure and oblivion of their origins. The methodology used will be based on qualitative and documental research, with an approach in autobiographical research, to support the realization of a field research, which had as an instrument for the production of data interviews with a semi-structured script. The theoretical field was constituted from the dialogue with authors such as Carlos Brandão (2002), Mary Del Priore (2022), Angela Davis (2016; 2018; 2019), Bell Hooks (2020; 2017), Marie-Christine Josso (2007), Mari Baiocchi (1999), among other authors. The research presented interesting results, from the narratives of Kalunga women, visualized in the protagonism of their praxis of paths; above all, by becoming participants in formal education processes, acting as professionals from quilombola communities. It was found that such women remain immersed in the context of ancestral customs, reflected in different ways of expressing themselves, in the ways of organizing and participating in social life, as well as in the prevalence of customs characteristic of their resistance in that space.
