Abstract

The research in question is a scholarship proposal for a research internship abroad (BEPE) and aims to deepen the theoretical development of one of the stages of the current research with a scholarship in the country, titled "Marks of decoloniality in the practices and knowledge of Black women educators". The main objective of the research to be carried out during the BEPE is to identify how black intellectuals and educators from Brazil and different countries in Latin America experience the colonial difference marked by race and gender and, from a common perspective, assume an "other" position in relation to the geopolitics of knowledge that establishes Eurocentrism as the only legitimate form of rationality. The specific objectives of the research can be summarized as: comparing the convergences and differences between black feminist studies in the field of Education produced in Brazil and by black intellectuals located in other Latin American countries; discussing the methodological value of the political-cultural category of "Amefricanidade" in the construction of the colonial difference of Afro-Latin American women; and identifying possible similarities between the loci of enunciation affirmed by Afro-Latin American black women. It is considered that although Brazilian black intellectuals experience the reflections of the colonial experience differently from black intellectuals in other Latin American countries, the knowledge produced by them and their practical proposals emerge as a counterpart to the shared "colonial trauma" and can enhance the process of breaking the coloniality that affects the ontological and epistemic field. Methodologically, the research will have a qualitative bibliographic approach, based on a theoretical-methodological framework constituted by decolonial feminist studies and black feminist epistemology. The comparative method will also be employed to delimit the main similarities and differences between the aforementioned perspectives. (AU)
