A pedagogia do fuxico: saberes e vivências de um Griô Aprendiz ao ritmo de Sirley Amaro

Abstract

This thesis pursues to build an approach (articulated to the past) through reflexivity on the research of a Griô Aprendiz with the knowledge, through memory, of Mestre Griô Shirley Amaro, with emphasis on the encounter between this Mestre Griô and Griô aprendiz and the process of transmission and apprehension of the Fuxico Pedogagy. Sirley Amaro (1936 – 2020) was a black woman, a professional needlewoman, a spokeswoman and defender of memory and black peoples history of Pelotas and recognized locally, regionally and nationally, mostly by the Mestre Griô title designated by the Cultura Viva program. Through the images and the rhythm of Dona Sirley this narrative is build as a textual architecture that express a method witch the vibrated impact is provoked by the tensioning between the ancestry as epistemological principle and the surrealist ethnography as a writing technique. The contributions of Walter Benjamin are tied together in this epistemological field, reflecting the task to braid the History Against to seek the defeated ones narratives that echoes till today. Adding to that, the contributions of the afrocentric thought, that recognize the black subject practices as part of a ontologic system, where interactions, with others, with nature, or with yourself, are also producers of knowledge legitimately. The method express itself in the diverse materials, thread, color, fabric, volume and music. Here I defend the thesis that through the rhythm of Mestre exists a pedagogy articulated on knowledge and making and, with the allegorical image of a fuxico in this research, it can be learned. A Fuxico pedagogy is tied through the ancestrally plots, the orality and the musicality. A Fuxico Pedagogy as an alternative to the impoverishment of the background, as an experience, force, rhythm, music, telling and singing stories, singing and telling life. I defend the existence of a Fuxico Pedagogy through this Griô Aprendiz experience and by the practices of Mestre Sirley Amaro comprehending beyond to what is made this interactions itself, and also who made this Grio experiences, just as what can be made of the Pedagogy, and how the ancestry, orality and musicality are organized as center pines to this practices. By the circle we start this thesis, and by the circle we come close to what has to be it ends. Finding the ancestry, the orality, the musicality as central plots that states from a own rhythm of a Fuxico Pedagogy is recognize the circularity as a coming possibility… and another… and another…
