Coletivos estudantis negros e formação em dança no ensino superior: rotas de encantamento emancipatório do corpo

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the student experience of the Black Student Collectives at the university, aiming to present the educational potential allocated in the performance of these groups in relation to dance training in higher education. The hypothesis of the absence of the presentation of Afro-oriented epistemological references during the training course is the locus of the study, which motivates the investigation in the search to critically reflect the context that mobilizes the creation of the collectives, as well as to identify possible training contributions to graduation in dance promoted by the actions carried out. As there is an increasing number of black students in higher education and, consequently, the demand and claim for greater integration of knowledge that is at odds with Eurocentric paradigms, research turns to decolonized practices, in the sense of reaffirming the legitimacy of Afro knowledge -guided in the scientific pole when investigating the space and the activities developed by the Black Student Collectives, seeking to ascertain the existence of possible impacts and transformations in the graduation in dance due to this educational action of an emancipatory nature. Based on autoethnography as a methodological procedure, self-writing emerges as a proposed approach, in view of the assumption, recognition and inclusion of the researcher as part of the research subject, together with this, the crossroads used as a theoretical-methodological reference to guide the organizational structure listed for the presentation of ideas. This study is guided by a perspective of dance whose Afro-orientation is established as a guiding axis, thus the choice of references aims to highlight knowledge outside the hegemonic currents, using narratives of authors whose works approach conceptions of Epistemologies of the South, evidencing black intellectuals, giving special attention to female voices, highlighting Luciane Ramos Silva, Inaicyra Falcão dos Santos, Nilma Lino Gomes, bell hooks, Sueli Carneiro, Amélia Conrado, Grada Kilomba and others such as Luiz Rufino, Rodrigo E. de Jesus and José J. Carvalho.
