Abstract
In this paper we propose to present the Parangadinkra, an esthetical-pedagogic object which we invented to envolve School and University in African oralities and traditional philosophies and oralities, still very seldom explored as source and production of knowledge, because of prejudice or ignorance. We have particular interest in ganeian ideograms called adinkra that transmit ethic-estetical and philosophic values of Akan people in Ghana. We thereby expect to 1) show that the language of these traditional simbols also make part of the great concept of orality of Hampâté Bâ, 2) that they show a wealth of possibilities of didactic educacional use, that can be enhanced by afroreferentials as Pretagogy.
