“O QUE EU TRAGO NESSE BALAIO VALE MUITO MAIS QUE TODO O OURO DO MUNDO” NOTAS SOBRE O RECONHECIMENTO DAS REFERÊNCIAS CULTURAIS AFRO-BRASILEIRA COMO PATRIMÔNIO

Abstract

In this paper, we seek to present some reflective notes on the recognition of the main cultural references of African origin as Brazilian cultural heritage, including samba, capoeira and the Candomblé terreiros, which are the best known and most widespread nationally. To this end, we start from the methodological principle of sociological practice as socially situated knowledge related to our being in the world and our lived experiences, through studies in which we assume a political and ideological position with pedagogical dimensions, adopting inter/multi/transdisciplinary approaches that prioritize the African legacy as a precondition in the identity construction of Brazilian black culture, centered on its essential elements (memories, ancestries and oral traditions), with a focus on its preservation, affirmation and appreciation, based on the protagonism of its subjects, from the perspective of an anti-racist education.
