A episteme nas produções fílmicas do cinema negro como dimensão pedagógica para o interculturalismo brasileiro

Abstract

European colonialism has contributed significantly to the spread of racist culture, having as main target “people of color”, that is, black people, coercively torn from their homeland and brought to another continent where they suffered enslavement for years and even after obtaining "freedom", they continue to be subjugated, marginalized, stigmatized and devalued as human beings. Theoretical foundation: Even not being aware of my blackness, I suffered and I still suffer from devaluation, which aroused the interest in addressing the issues of valorization of Afro-descendant culture through the Black Cinema Episteme. Through the film interpretation we can highlight the importance of Black Cinema as an element of rupture of the racist culture in the social dimension, including in the classroom as a teacher of high school students it is possible to perceive the devaluation of the other, the difficulty of dealing and coexist with ethnic cultural differences. Methodology: this research was developed based on secondary documents, studies already published that deal with Black Cinema and interculturality, we also made use of the filmic interpretation of two black films, Barravento by film director Glauber Rocha and Dialectic of Love film director Celso Prudente , which allowed the researcher to highlight the Black Cinema Episteme as an element of rupture of the racist culture. Conclusion: It is believed that by breaking with the elements of the racist culture, the Black Cinema Episteme contributes with interculturality and valorization of the identity of the black and Afro-descendant, in the classroom and in any other social dimension, because the Black Cinema reestablishes the affirmative struggle.
