Este artigo propõe abordar o racismo como mecanismo social de manutenção das relações coloniais de poder no Brasil. Argumentar-se-á que a colonialidade em sua categoria “colonialidade do ser” é responsável pela constituição da corporalidade negra (colonizado), assim como da branca (colonizador), por meio de um modelo humanista eurocêntrico vinculado a um processo de objetificação racista que se mantém atualizado nos dias de hoje. Para isso, serão analisados conceitos centrais do pensamento descolonial latino como colonialidade, objetificação, humanismo, dupla consciência e colonialidade do ser, por exemplo. Por fim, vislumbrar-se-á a afirmação da negritude como forma de resistência diaspórica e de enfrentamento direto do essencialismo objetificador e marginalizador dos corpos negros.
This working paper approaches the current global crisis as a potential territoriality for radicalizing concepts and for learning with ongoing fugitive routes. Through nonlinear paths, I aim to examine the contours of the quilombo not only as a slavery-past event but as a continuum of anti-colonial struggle that invokes other forms of re-existence and convivial coexistence in Brazil. In doing that, this research draws attention to an Améfrica Ladina epistemology and a decolonial methodology embodied by living archives and oral histories.
Moving beyond the legal and historical hegemonic definitions of the quilombo, this paper investigates continuities in gendered racial violence in Brazil by evoking the political and poetic of the quilombo. Inspired by the works of the historian and poet Beatriz Nascimento, the multifaceted notion of quilombo is conceptualized as an ongoing praxis of fugitivity and coalition that draws on the interconnectedness of anti-colonial, feminist, and anti-racist struggles. In exploring geopolitical breaks and epistemological ruptures, this paper fosters a necessary conversation between theory and practice by engaging with the living archives of three Afro-Brazilian writers and activists: (i) Beatriz Nascimento’s fundamental contributions on the political, material and symbolic dimensions of quilombo; (ii) the legacy and vision of Marielle Franco focusing on the necessity to ocupar the institutional politics like a growing seed; (iii) the work of Erica Malunguinho and Mandata Quilombo through the praxis of aquilombar the constitutional democracy, based on the alternation in representative power and repossession.
The three-day academic and artistic gathering focused on the representational strategies, practices and histories of living together in the so-called multicultural and multi-ethnic societies in the Global South and within Europe with a particular focus on multilayered (in)visibilities and visuality. The conference was organised by Juliana Streva, Salma Siddique, Fritzi-Marie Titzmann and Hannah Tzuberi on behalf of "Beyond Social Cohesion: Global Repertoires of Living Together" (RePLITO), a research project funded in the framework of the Grand Challenge Initiative Social Cohesion by the Berlin University Alliance (2021-2024). The program was realized in collaboration with Off-University and our academic cooperation partner Prof. Dr. Faisal Devji from St. Anthony's College in Oxford, UK. With the cultural centre Oyoun we deliberately chose an event space outside the University to enable dialogue beyond academia and include activist and artistic voices in the exploration of how living and looking are intertwined.In our introduction to the event we drew attention to what Fatimah Tobing Rony calls visual biopolitics whereby visual representation determines which lives are made to matter more than others, "who is visible and who is invisible, … and who is protected and who is not" [1]. Proceeding from this, we examined contexts of segregation, integration, friction and minoritization to offer new insights into religious divisions and secular ambiguities. We are particularly interested in approaches that are concerned with aesthetics, images and iconicity, to explore how looking becomes closely intertwined with living. While the controlling look or gaze has been central to the way in which the gendered, racialized and colonized body has been made visible, we also seek out what Paula Amad refers to as the visual ripostes [2], evident in powers relations embedded in imperial, postcolonial and global antagonisms.Each day was devoted to a specific perspective, thus creating different strands of dialogues within the conference. Invited speakers from Turkey, India, and the United Kingdom, together with Berlin-based scholars, activists, and artists, made the conference a thoroughly inspiring and engaging event, not to mention an interested audience eager for discussion.
