The fios of Ananse (Anansi) and other historiographies in Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract

We rely on a theoretical-methodological framework inspired by the threads of Ananse (Anansi) produced within the scope of movements carried out in networks identified with processes of decolonization of education. In dialogue with professionals participating in pedagogical movements and training networks in Colombia and Brazil, we developed a propositional framework that shifts from the margins to the center concepts arising from the actions and proposals of Afro-descendant and indigenous communities called upon to reinvent paths with social technologies typical of ancestral narratives. To this end, we reinterpret, with anti-racist managers, teachers and scholars, paths on other textures in dialogical networks activated for work that involves disputing knowledge and historiographical knowledge.
