CARROCEIROS EM NARRATIVAS, SABERES E MODOS DE VIDA

Abstract

In this qualitative research work, we present a bibliographical survey on the enunciations of the carroceira community, present in the articles of the CAPES and SciELO platforms. The aim of this study was to understand the enunciations about the carroceir community, in addition to identifying discourses about the educational practices carried out for/with these subjects, to understand how these perspectives influence the enunciation of the carters and cart drivers as builders of knowledge, stories, memories. From the content analysis of the articles found, we built five analytical categories that deal with different discourses about carters, in narratives, knowledge and ways of life, in professionalization, in multispecies coexistence, as a political, historical and cultural community, as targets of change behavior in educational actions. We build this analysis with the theoretical basis of Environmental Education, Political Ecology and Decolonial Studies, in order to know the ways in which cart drivers have their knowledge colonized in favor of advancing the project of capitalist modernity. Within this framework, we were able to understand the hegemonic or counter-hegemonic positions present in the articles studied and affirm the carters' ways of life as carriers of knowledge and traditional ways of life.
