INDIGENOUS EDUCATION AND PHILOSOPHY: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE ISÚ-KARIRI INDIGENOUS SCHOOL, IN BREJO SANTO (CE)
Teaching Philosophy. Indigenous Philosophy. Amerindian Perspectivism. Indigenous Spirituality.
The objective of this work is to investigate the insertion of indigenous philosophical thought and Amerindian perspectivism, based on Law 11.645/08 - which made the study of indigenous history and culture mandatory, in addition to its contribution to the formation of Brazilian society -, in High School according to the guidelines of the new National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), approved in 2017, with a focus on teaching Philosophy. To this end, in the first part of the work, after a bibliographical survey of theoretical texts that deal with the subject, such as Amerindian perspectivism, by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, and indigenous philosophy by Davi Kopenawa and Ailton Krenak, in addition to theoretical approaches with other thinkers, such as Aníbal Quijano, Enrique Dussel, Ramón Grosfoguel, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, who work from a decolonial perspective. In the second part, we will seek to criticize colonial thought, including Philosophy, and how indigenous thought contributes to the construction of an anti-colonial and decolonial philosophy, in terms of criticism of the coloniality of knowledge and power, through perspectivism and of indigenous philosophy permeated by the concept of spirituality, a category used by original peoples for what we call philosophy in the West. In the last one, we will carry out an “ethnophilosophical” research, based on some elements of a post-colonial ethnography, case study, participant observation, field diary, interviews, at the Brejo Santo Indigenous School, of the Isu-kariri people, about how In school practice, indigenous philosophy and spirituality are taught, with the aim of using this experience to contribute to rethinking the teaching of philosophy.
