Dizer a sua palavra: cartografias de um território escolar quilombola em Vão Grande/MT

Abstract

In the face of the growing organization of the black movement and important segments of Brazilian society, in the sense of effectively implementing the matter provided for in national and international legislation, there are increasing threats to the rights of quilombola populations, highlighting a set of actions that question constitutionality of the legislation regulating the matter. In this context, the present research had as general objective to understand the constitution of the identity process and the territorialization of the populations living in the district of Vão Grande, Barra do Bugres / MT. Specifically we seek to: (a) Investigate the processes involved in the constitution of the quilombola identity within the community, pointing out the dynamics resulting from such process, regarding the constitution of collective memory from the school; (b) Elaborate, through an ethnocartography, instruments that reveal the perceptions and singularities of the quilombola community of Vão Grande, prioritizing themes related to the territorialization of that population; (c) To develop pedagogical activities that will potentialize the discussion of territoriality and quilombola identity in basic education, primarily in the Mariano Bento quilombola school. Regarding the methodological procedures, we used bibliographical, documentary and field research, performing pedagogical workshops and social cartographies from collective interventions in satellite images and mental maps, as well as play activities at the José Manoel Bento School. The results show the centrality of the school as an agent that enhances the identity and the quilombola belonging to the black community of Vão Grande, characterizing itself as a territory marked by insurgent space practices. In this sense, the school can contribute to the success of the processes that process with the INCRA-MT to regularize the area occupied by the community since time immemorial, even in the context of conflicts and disputes between different actors, especially the representatives of the agro-hydro business.
