Aquilombing afro-brazilian civilizational values

Abstract

In this article we propose to revisit the Afro-Brazilian Civilizing Values ​​listed by Azoilda Loretto Trindade based on the dialogue with the thoughts of Antônio Bispo dos Santos. Through a critical reading of the word civilization, we seek new connections between Values ​​in a philosophical perspective. Based on the ideas of Nego Bispo and the reflections incorporated from capoeira and Afro dance activities referenced by the Center for Research in Philosophies of the Body, the Values ​​gain new contours and abandon the idea of ​​civilizing someone or some territory in order to become shared and capable of germinating new ways of being and doing. We propose new directions for the body to move, seeking to produce other perspectives of sociability, expanding the possibilities of dialogue as philosophical and thinking bodies in a counter-colonial flow. In this way, we reflect on the collective desire to be an quilomba territory and with/through the movement to strengthen our personal and community body territory.
