Abstract
This article aims to reflect on the processes of producing and sharing knowledge and building black identities in the center-south of Rio de Janeiro. As a case study, I look at the network built up between the Boa Esperança Quilombo in Areal, Rio de Janeiro and black teachers and activists in the region. In this interaction, they develop a pedagogy that, going beyond the walls of schools and universities and the pages of books, challenges the dichotomies between who teaches versus who learns, academic knowledge versus popular knowledge, reason versus the body and emotion characteristic of modern Cartesian metaphysics and consolidates a teaching and learning relationship mediated by affection. This work is based on the action-research and extension work using participatory and ethnographic methodologies that I have been developing with the Boa Esperança quilombola community since March 2022.
