WRITELIVING BLACK CHILDREN'S BODIES

DEBATING NEW PRACTICES FROM ORALITY AND ORALITURE, CHALLENGES FOR THE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CURRICULAR COMPONENT

Abstract

This article is the result of reading and dialogues in the book Olhos D´Água by writer Conceição Evaristo, carried out by the research group Religion, Gender, Violence: Human Rights at Faculdade Unida de Vitória.The aim is to reflect on the writing of black children's bodies, based on the concept of writing coined by the aforementioned writer. The story “Zaíta forgot to put away her toys” articulates the dialogue around black childhoods (black and brown), presenting challenges for the Religious Education Curricular Component. It is necessary to decolonialize Europeanized curricula and include new knowledge/knowledge that black and brown children's and adolescent bodies bring from their daily social, cultural and religious experiences. Orality and oralitura are didactic-pedagogical tools that challenge the rethinking of curricula and teaching know-how, in an anti-racist and inclusive practice that respects Brazilian cultural and religious diversity.
