Abstract

This article presents reflections on how we can rethink Geography in a critical way to achieve the construction of methods and methodologies the field of study of Black Geographies. The central objective is to discuss the possibilities of this teaching and geographic field of research to become visible, as it happens with other fields of scientific research in the area, and remove the weight of perspectives shaped by colonial inheritances and referenced by racist epistemic models. As a methodology adopted, I indicate the “escrevivencias” issues coined by Conceicao Evaristo. The method that has been proposed involves perspectives from within of Guimaraes (2015), which in recent years has been improved in search of an increasingly blackened epistemological body. Broadening this discussion is to insert feeling, thinking and being black in teaching and geographic research so that the histories, cultures and knowledge of colonized and enslaved socio-racial groups can be part of affirmative spatial analyzes.

Summary

Introduction

Da introdução que consta na tese de doutorado Rio Negro de Janeiro: olhares geográficos de suas heranças negras e o racismo no processo-projeto patrimonial (GUIMARÃES, 2015) principalmente para pensar a possibilidade de metodologias e métodos próprios para os estudos de Geografia e relações raciais. Do texto Geografia desde dentro das relações étnico-raciais (GUIMARÃES, 2018), neste caso pensar o ensino de Geografia para além de apenas a interdisciplinaridade de Geografia e Literatura, mas também de assuntos que perpassam o cotidiano dos espaços geográficos e que podem constar no ensino desta disciplina, justamente porque fazem parte das pesquisas geográficas, por isso a necessidade de métodos e metodologias próprias.
