BODY CULTURE AND UBUNTU PHILOSOPHY: Educational principles of collectivity and (re)affirmation of the identity of the black population.
African philosophy. Ubuntu. Body culture.
This scientific production promotes a didactic reflection on the possibilities of pedagogical treatment of the elements of body culture, in the light of African Philosophy: Ubuntu, a relationship that potentiates the transformation of times/spaces into the production of educational knowledge, useful for the (re)affirmation of black identity and human formation. This study presents and discusses the philosophical understanding of the world, from the African collective thought of the Bantu people, which always highlights the "we" instead of the "I". In this work it was possible to develop actions/reflections with young black people from the Zilda Arns community, a neighborhood located in the outskirts and socially marginalized in the city of Santo Antônio de Jesus-BA. The objective of this work is to agent educational principles as capable of fomenting the (re)affirmation of the identity of the black population from experiences related to the systematized experiences of the elements of body culture in the light of the Ubuntu philosophy, potentiating the consciousness of each subject being part of something bigger and collective. Finally, this confluence in the wheel of knowledge held during the research promoted a pedagogical intervention that generated a product called "Afropedagogical Booklet", which provides a methodology capable of referencing an antiracist pedagogical praxis from the circles of knowledge of philosophy and corporeality.
