The pedagogy of caboclagem in Patativa do Assaré

caboclo in transit

Abstract

The present work aims to discuss the concept of caboclagem as a proposal for pedagogical, rhizomatic and decolonial articulations of the processes of collective subjectivations that culturally constituted the stigmatization of caboclo. Therefore, in the context of Western white supremacy, it is understood that the initial formation of the caboclo did not have the objective of meeting the demands of the parameters of colonial/economic exploitation in the North of Brazil, although over time it will acquire partially different configurations in other regions. of the country, especially in the Brazilian backlands. Thus, this work highlights the imagetic deconstruction of the caboclo under the bias of political operations – caboclagens – of the ethnopoet Patativa do Assaré, whose preferred discourse, autobiographical, is evidenced as “caboclo goat of the plague” covered by the anti-imperialist struggle of powers and knowledge of the "ragged of the world". The research follows a hybrid line that especially covers the relationship between ethnomethodology and cartography; In this perspective, a bibliographic dialogue is established with the theoretical substrates of Homi Bhabha, Achille Mbembe, Édouard Glissant, Félix Guattari, Frantz Fanon, Pierre Bourdieu, Aníbal Quijano, Michel Foucault, among others in dialogue with the ethnopoetics of Patativa do Assaré. Therefore, it is expected that this study will contribute towards broadening the discussion on the processes of interesting differentiations by the pedagogical movements that are carried out as cultural activities, especially loaded by the content of artistic-literary experiences of the poetics of acquisition of power, which make to revolve the decolonial and anti-imperialist struggle against epistemic racism, and other modes of racism developed by the coloniality of the power of knowledge and being.
