Abstract
RESUMO Este texto propõe uma agenda de pesquisa sobre a produção de espaços de diálogo e solidariedade entre territórios periféricos. O termo ‘transperiferias’ traduz esta proposta de pesquisa e engajamento, elaborada coletivamente por sete pesquisadores/as situados/as no campo aplicado dos estudos da linguagem. A agenda das transperiferias oferece caminhos de ruptura com paradigmas que situam, de um lado, a produção de conhecimento sobre desigualdade e, de outro lado, os sujeitos e territórios que se engajam com a contestação dessa desigualdade a partir de posicionalidades marginais. Propõe-se, em outras palavras, uma aproximação entre a produção de saber “sobre” as periferias com a produção de conhecimento “das” periferias, ao mesmo tempo em que se projetam espaços de diálogo e reflexão “entre” periferias, regionais, nacionais e globais. O texto justapõe os tipos de engajamento e produção epistêmica de cada um/a dos/as pesquisadores/as, de modo a apontar para formas em que objetos de investigação, como letramentos, tradução, processos de racialização, enregistramento sociolinguístico, violência etc., podem ser revisitados numa visão transperiférica. Convidamos sujeitos de diferentes periferias, bem como campos epistêmicos diversos, a ampliarem e tensionarem essa agenda de investigação.

The notion of literacies of survival (LOPES; SILVA; FACINA; CALAZANS; TAVARES, 2017; MAIA, 2017) emerges from collaborative ethnographic work undertaken by researchers - of whom two are authors of the present paper, Daniel do Nascimento e Silva e Junot de Oliveira Maia - together with residents of the peripheries of the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro who are active in various forms of struggle, through art
This paper has drawn on a range of research undertaken in Brazil to propose transperipheries as a powerful paradigm for prioritising connections between peripheral territories in the development of a transgressive and transformative agenda
Summary
Written collaboratively by a multidisciplinary group of researchers connected to the field of applied linguistics, this paper presents the notion of transperipheries, which evokes the construction of spaces of dialogue and solidarity between peripheral territories. It is in this sense that the adjective [peripheral] is used here, in that contemporaneity can and must be increasingly adjectified by diverse groups and their ethical-aesthetic expressions This cycle of disputing and renaming the current world is a radical gesture that impedes conceptual coloniality, and forces back the most wretched workings of the machine of epistemicide: the production of homogeneity. The quilombo is a transperipheral space historically, and plays a central role in transperipheral imaginaries for system-wide transformation that upturn systems of capitalism and racial supremacy (NASCIMENTO, 2020 [1980]) At this point, it may be helpful to provide some concrete examples of how the transperiphery may be constituted as a space of debate and locus of research and activism. The remainder of the paper presents brief outlines of concepts that relate to the notion of transperiphery and help to give it some theoretical consistency as a basis for a new paradigm
