Memórias dos anciãos moçambicanos de Chinhamapere

em busca de epistemologias, saberes e narrativas “outras”

Resumen

This article is the result of the dissertation xxx developed in the xxx program, whose texture was crossed by discussions that question and problematize the prevalence of colonialities of power and knowledge, inherited from the colonial system, which, even with administrative “independence”, continue to classify, excluding African knowledge and knowledge, depending on the geography and history of Euro-centered knowledge. We focus on questioning and problematizing the colonialities (Quijano, 2005) that continue the colonial project, subordinating native knowledge and knowledge and its protagonists, and, therefore, pointing out some possibilities of insurgency and overturning the colonialities of knowledge through combative and resistance actions, which in the context of the research, were established and implemented in the process of producing historical knowledge with “other” protagonists (elders) of the Chinhamapere community, through of Benjaminian remembrance practice (1985). Listening carefully to memories allowed us to embrace knowledge produced daily in rural lands on the African continent that encompasses rationality and sensitivity. This is a dialogical fabric with the elders in a collective historical knowledge production of confronting and combating the geopolitics of Eurocentric knowledge and in the search for “other” narratives.
