Narrativas quilombolas: outras histórias e pedagogias.

Abstract

From the objective: "To capture marroon narratives that emerge from the process of Storytelling in the contemporary context of the Cerro das Velhas marroon community, identifying pedagogies that make possible other forms of the community to narrate and to star itself", the thesis "Marroon narratives: other stories and pedagogies" sought to answer the following Research Problem: "How marroon narratives that emerge from the process of Storytelling in the Cerro das Velhas marroon community can be considered cultural texts as they teach/instill ways of being and, thus, contribute to the production of marroon subjects today?". The research took as empirical reference narrators from Cerro das Velhas, marroon community located in the 5th District of Canguçu/RS, and as a theoretical reference, a dialogue between Philosophy of Language, Social Anthropology, Education and Cultural Studies, from benjaminian concepts as Narrative, History and Trail, using Benjamin himself, Gagnebin and Ginzburg; from the notion of Storytelling present mainly in Amador de Deus; from traditional and contemporary Brazilian marroons, through Maestri, Gomes, Anjos, Carril, Baptista da Silva, among others; from the notion of Cultural Pedagogies by Steinberg, Kincheloe and Ellsworth; from “Outros Sujeitos”, by Arroyo; from the concept of Social Representations, by Jodelet and Jovchelovitch; from the African Diaspora concept by Gilroy and Hall; and from the concept of Dreams, by Martins. As methodology, it was used the Sandra Jovchelovitch's narrative interview proposal and for the analysis of the narrated stories the model proposed by Schütze for the analysis of this specific type of interview. It is argued that the marroon narratives that emerge from the process of Storytelling in the Cerro das Velhas marron community are updated in the contemporaneity and they are not told "as they happened, in fact", however incorporating new elements when these stories are being told. These narratives can be considered as cultural texts when they transmit accumulated experiences and knowledges, they collaborate for the process of updating the memory, they ressignify the notion of marroon communities and marroon subjects, they produce senses and meanings able to subvert the hegemonic logic, they protagonize subjects and teach ways of being, therefore they contribute to the production of marroon subjects.
