Tecendo fios da memória biocultural feminina kalunga

uma pesquisa participante com licenciandas em Educação do Campo

Abstract

The article aims to explore the potential of constructing autobiographical narratives of quilombola licensees during their graduation process in Field Education at the University of Brasília. This exploration was facilitated through a workshop conducted within the university setting. The methodology of this proposal is rooted in the participants' research focused on the biocultural memory of the Kalunga community, as well as the dialogues and experiences shared during the workshop activities. The objective is to promote a more quilombola-like approach to practices in Field Education and Science Education by intertwining knowledge and social environmental practices found in the oral and written narratives of the participating students. The narratives from the Kalunga's feminine biocultural memory that emerged from these stories strongly align with the core principles of Field Education. They highlight aspects such as the integration of childhood into the social environment, ancestral knowledge related to feminine care, soil management, farming, harvesting, and the community's struggle to defend their territories. These elements underscore the significance of incorporating Quilombola expertise into emancipatory educational processes, particularly through critical and transformative environmental education. The findings of this study have the potential to be extended to various educational contexts.
