The purpose of this research is to understand the senses of the sound practice called “música propia” (own music) in the ontology of Misak amerindian collective, that inhabits the southwest of Colombia, through an ethnography. The central concerns were triggered during a dialogic relationship in a participant observation that was modulated by the visual and auditory perceptions. These are the main two points: what do the Misaks call “música propia”, and what do they mean with the frequent claim that “música propia” differs from the "chirimía". The latter consists of a type of musical ensemble that has been associated with festive and catholic practices which manifests itself in different variations, common near the Misak territory and in other regions of the country. The sonority of the “música propia” comes from the mixing of two flutes timbres and two or more drums, whose sounds refer to the presence of non-human alterities performed in public and ritualized events within what Misaks call the “Ciclo de Vida” (Life Cycle). Drawing from performance studies, and on the discussion of epistemologies of sound in ethnomusicology and anthropology of music (Seeger, Feld, Bastos), I propose that the idea of cosmo-sonic (Stein) is a possibility to understand the música propia. Sonoro-performatic categories, socio-cosmological conceptions and the ideal principles of being Misak are all articulated within the Misak’s cosmo-sonic. In this sense, the Misak cosmo-sonic is a sonic ontology that enters cosmopolitical scene when disputing with other worlds its existence. One of these worlds is in the process of patrimonialization of the type of ensemble of “chirimía caucana” that is underway and intendes to include in it the música propia. Here I interpret this attempt of patrimonialization as a state’s mechanism of simplification supported by global policies that tries to incorporate the música propia within a standardized logics. It is a hegemonic form of the ontology of modernity that is not detached from the coloniality of power, and which is revealed in the effects of the interactions of subjects. Faced with this process, some Misak musicians have reacted and, based on the field of cosmopolitics, these reactions are taken in here as an indicator of an ontological conflict. / El objetivo de esta investigación es, mediante una etnografía, comprender los sentidos de la práctica sonora de la “música propia” en la ontología del colectivo amerindio misak, que habita en el sudoeste de Colombia. Las inquietudes centrales fueron provocadas durante la relación dialógica en la observación participante, modulada por lo visual y lo auditivo, concretándose en las dos siguientes: qué es lo que los misak llaman música propia y a qué se refiere el frecuente esclarecimiento de que la música propia se diferencia de la “chirimía”. Esta última consiste en un tipo de conjunto musical que ha estado relacionado con prácticas festivas y católicas, y que se manifiesta en diferentes variaciones, comunes en las proximidades del territorio misak y en otras regiones del país. La sonoridad de la música propia surge del trenzado tímbrico de dos flautas y dos o más tambores, cuyos sonidos remiten a la presencia de alteridades no humanas performadas en eventos públicos y ritualizados dentro de lo que los misak llaman el Ciclo de Vida. Basado en los estudios de performance, y en la discusión sobre epistemologías sonoras en la etnomusicología y en la antropología de la música (Seeger, Feld, Bastos) planteo que la idea de cosmosónica (Stein) es una posibilidad de entender la música propia. En la cosmosónica misak se articulan categorías sonoro-performáticas, las concepciones sociocosmológicas y los principios ideales del ser misak. En este sentido, la cosmosónica misak es una ontología sonora que entra en escena cosmopolítica (De la Cadena, Blaser) al disputar con otros mundos su existencia. Uno de estos mundos es el proceso de patrimonialización del conjunto de chirimía caucana que está en curso y pretende incluir en él a la música propia. Aquí interpreto esta tentativa de patrimonialización como un mecanismo de simplificación del estado apoyado en políticas globales, que intenta incorporar a la música propia dentro de unas lógicas estandarizadas. Se trata de una forma hegemónica de la ontología de la modernidad que no se desliga de la colonialidad del poder, y que se revela en los efectos de las interacciones de los sujetos. Frente a este proceso, las reacciones por parte de algunos músicos misak se revelan en el campo de la cosmopolítica como un conflicto ontológico.

The present dissertation talks about the implementation of the reffered law in the city of Belford Roxo, localted in the Metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro, with a specific angle to the early years. The principal objective of the search was analyze the position of the elementar school teachers (1? to 5? of elementar school), of public schools of Belford Roxo, in relation to ethnic and racial issues, as signaling the Law n? 10.639/2003. For that was analyzed the documents relating to the implementation activities of legislation in the city and the curriculum proposal. Beyond this documental analysis, two managers responsible for the implementation of the legislation, and fifteen early years teachers were interviewed, with a semi-structured questions technique. The collected data analysis was based on the theoretical framework structured on the position of authors which discuss about the relation between Modernity and Coloniality, and a critic interculturality. The search revealed that eurocentric point of the world interfere on the choices about the contentes, african history and the brazilian black people; Only after the law promulgation above, the early years teachers began to pay attention to the ethnic-racial relations and to the african continent and black people in our country history; the lack of formation and information, the racis and the religious prejudice are the main problems to the law implementation. Beyond these results, also it became evident the inductive role of the municipal board of education for the treatment of the issue. Although this role, the relationship with teachers, for the implementation of public policies on education, is weak and shows that it is far from democratic, because the teacher doesn?t participate in the discussion and implementation process, relegated him the executor role. So many questions were made in the course of this research and shows that others need to be made to we?ll understand the impact of the Law n?10.639/2003 on the brazilian education in all instances. / O ensino de hist?ria e cultura africana e afro-brasileira tornou-se obrigat?rio no Brasil a partir da promulga??o da Lei n? 10639/2003, fruto da articula??o dos movimentos sociais negros que ganharam for?a no per?odo p?s-ditadura militar no pa?s. A presente disserta??o trata da implementa??o da referida lei no munic?pio de Belford Roxo, localizado na regi?o metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, com um olhar espec?fico para os anos iniciais. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi analisar o posicionamento dos professores e professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental (1? ao 5? ano do ensino regular), da rede municipal de Belford Roxo, em rela??o as quest?es ?tnico-raciais, conforme sinaliza a Lei n? 10.639/2003. Para isso foram analisados documentos referentes ?s atividades de implementa??o da legisla??o no munic?pio e a Proposta Curricular. Al?m dessa an?lise documental dois gestores respons?veis pela implementa??o da legisla??o, em dois governos distintos, responderam a um question?rio semifechado, e foram entrevistados quinze docentes dos anos iniciais, com um instrumento de quest?es semiestruturadas, A an?lise dos dados coletados foi feita com base no referencial te?rico estruturado no posicionamento de autores que discutem a rela??o da Modernidade com a Colonialidade, e a interculturalidade cr?tica. A pesquisa revelou que uma vis?o euroc?ntrica do mundo interfere na escolha de conte?dos e na interpreta??o da hist?ria da ?frica e do negro no Brasil; somente a partir da promulga??o da lei supracitada, os docentes dos anos iniciais come?aram a atentar para as rela??es ?tnico-raciais e para a hist?ria do continente africano e dos negros em nosso pa?s; a falta de forma??o e informa??o, o racismo e o preconceito religioso s?o os principais problemas para a implementa??o da lei. Al?m desses resultados, tamb?m ficou evidente o papel indutor da secretaria municipal de educa??o para o tratamento dado a quest?o. Apesar desse papel, a rela??o com os docentes, para a implementa??o de pol?ticas p?blicas de educa??o, ? fr?gil e demonstra que est? longe de ser democr?tica, pois o docente n?o participa do processo de discuss?o e implementa??o, ficando a ele relegado o papel de executor. Muitas quest?es foram colocadas no decorrer dessa pesquisa e indicam que outras precisam ser feitas para entendermos o impacto da Lei n? 10639/2003 na educa??o brasileira em todas as suas inst?ncias.

El referencial teórico cuenta con autores de la perspectiva post-crítica, como: Foucault y sus contribuciones en relación a los conceptos de docilización del cuerpo, relaciones de poder, poder disciplinar; Freire, que nos permitió entender el concepto de cuerpos conscientes y conciencia ingenua; Popkewitz e Silva, que abordaron el currículo y sus influencias educativas; Gonçalves y Queiroz, con los presupuestos de corporeidad y cuerpo; y, finalmente, Quijano y Mignolo, que expandieron el concepto de colonialidad del poder a las problemáticas de género y sexualidad.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationships between the curriculum of elementary education I of the state of São Paulo and the process of disciplinarization / coloniality of bodies by the teacher's view, the research consists of understanding how the subject of corporeity is presented in the curriculum and analyze if it is adopted from an emancipatory or oppressive perspective. In this sense, the nuclear question that governs the research is: What are and how are the relations between the curriculum and the coloniality of bodies and minds in primary education? The theoretical reference has authors from the post-critical perspective, such as: Foucault and his contributions in relation to the concepts of body docilization, power relations, disciplinary power; Freire, who allowed us to understand the concept of conscious bodies and naive consciousness; Popkewitz and Silva, who addressed the curriculum and its educational influences; Gonçalves and Queiroz, with the presuppositions of corporeity and body; and, finally, Quijano and Mignolo, who expanded the concept of coloniality of power to the problems of gender and sexuality. An essentially qualitative methodological approach was chosen, with the use of documental analysis of PCN’s. In analyzing PCN’s, both the word and the concept of corporeality do not appear, which leads us to question how this document can contribute to the teacher's constructing an emancipatory pedagogical practice. The empirical research consisted of semi-structured interviews with teachers, and for data analysis, the content analysis technique was used. It was concluded that teacher training, both initial and continuing, is still attached to a paradigm of Eurocentric and colonial character, which devalues the body and favors rationality. / A corporeidade é crucial para a constituição integral dos sujeitos e influencia os demais fatores da formação humana (psíquico, emocional e intelectual).

<p>The purpose of this critical ethnographic dissertation research was to explore the multiple and diverse ways in which university student activists in Honduras constructed oppositional political cultures within the institutional constraints and possibilities of the university and the broader neoliberal and authoritarian postcoup context. In this research, I considered studying up and down and anything in between a necessary task to understand the complexity of student activism in relation to the university’s complicity with the coloniality of power and knowledge (Nader, 1972; Quijano, 2000, 2007). Critical ethnography, decolonial, space and place, and collective action theory provided the philosophical, methodological, conceptual, practical, political, and ethical commitments to understand how the University Student Movement’s political culture resisted neoliberal higher education reform. This research, in addition, offers an ethnographic analysis and interpretation of the student movement’s political culture and the role it played in democratizing the university. First, I used a historical perspective to contextualize reemerging student movements in Honduras. After tracing Latin American student movement’s origin to the Cordoba Student Movement of Argentina, I examined the ways in which the student movement of Honduras adopted, reclaimed, and extended the democratic principles implemented in the former. University autonomy, ideological pluralism, democratic governance, academic freedom, and curriculum reform were salient points of analyses. Second, I examined the student movement’s horizontal organization, identified the democratic social practices and political culture that emerged after the coup of 2009, and interpreted student activists’ knowledges born in struggle through a decolonial lens concomitant with a sensitivity to space and place and collective action. Particularly, the direct participation of students in all decision-making processes within the student movement was interpreted as an act of resistance to reclaim democratic spaces within a sociopolitical context increasingly becoming dictatorial. Third, I analyzed the student movement’s impact in democratizing the university’s governance structure and resisting neoliberal higher education reform. Fourth, I shared the knowledge produced collectively by student activists. The way students conceived of the university and its curriculum and governing practices unsettled the authorial individualism still present in educational research. The knowledges born in struggle, I argued, have sociopolitical, cultural, and decolonial implications. In addition to the analytical and interpretive work which included the research, knowledges, and practices student activists shared with me during the 12 months of fieldwork and participant observation in Honduras, I highlighted how the emergence of a heterogeneously articulated student movement slowed down, at the very least, the neocolonial and neoliberal reconfiguration of the university. This dissertation thus addressed the political relationship between the global and the local. The re-localization of politics here must not to be confused with reactionary politics. It means instead to recognize how the particular is enmeshed in a more complex web of power, domination, resistance, and reexistence. To resist locally means that collective actors engage global powers, even if indirectly and unintentionally. Student activists, who were able to put a stop to the series of neoliberal reforms implemented since the coup of 2009, reminded those in power (local, national, and global) that neoliberal higher education reform within a re-politicized autonomous university with an organized student movement will be faced with resistance. This ethnographic account will hopefully reveal the ways in which student activist built a politically culture characterized by alternative forms of organizing to resist what is too often conceived fatalistically as the inevitable neoliberalization of education. These fatalistic perspectives will hopefully be unsettled throughout the dissertation. The significance of this study is that it is oriented toward an ethnographic understanding of higher education reform and student resistance in Latin America, a region with a student population which continues to be engaged in collective action. The educational significance of this work revolves around the need to rethink and rebuild universities in radically democratic terms. This rethinking involves the need to not only democratize access to higher education but rather to democratize governance, curriculum, knowledge, research, and ways of knowing and being. Transforming the university into a democratic place in which students are directly and meaningfully involved in governance and curriculum reform opens a path toward decolonial futurities where knowledge is no longer dictated from above but rather deconstructed and reconstructed from below. This dissertation research, lastly, as it works at the intersections of curriculum studies, decolonial theories, methodologies, pedagogies, and emerging university student resistance in Latin America, offers, I hope, a valuable way to do curriculum inquiry in higher education institutions within international contexts. </p>

[pt] Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as especificidades do dito abandono escolar de meninas da rede pública de ensino. A partir do diálogo com autoras/es feministas, descoloniais e antirracistas, buscamos deflagrar as persistências da lógica colonial, essencialmente racista e patriarcal, na modernidade/colonialidade e seus efeitos na vida de meninas e mulheres das classes subalternizadas. Analisamos que a produção do fracasso e/ou do abandono escolar de meninas, assim como o de meninos, na maioria das vezes tem relação com as desigualdades econômicas e raciais que estruturam nossa sociedade. No entanto, no caso das meninas, por terem historicamente, pela ordem patriarcal, suas capacidades reprodutivas e sexuais como alvo de controle e exploração, seu afastamento da escola apresenta razões peculiares. Elas se relacionam com divisão sexual do trabalho, que coloca o trabalho reprodutivo e o trabalho doméstico como funções naturais e prioritárias do denominado sexo feminino, posicionando outras atividades em lugar de menor importância. Operando na colonialidade, a educação também pode desempenhar um papel importante neste processo. Ao (re)produzir discursos e práticas que reforçam os papéis sexuais, perpetua a ideia de que a escolarização é secundária para as meninas, contribuindo para o abandono escolar. / [en] This research aims to analyze the specificities of the so-called school abandonment of girls from the public school system. Based on the dialogue with feminist, decolonial and anti-racist authors, we seek to trigger the persistence of colonial logic, essentially racist and patriarchal, in modernity/coloniality and its effects on the girls and women from subalternized classes lives. We analyze that girls failure and / or abandonment, as well as boys, are most often the product of the economic and racial inequality that structures our society. However, in the case of girls, who historically have, in the patriarchal order, their reproductive and sexual capacities as a target for control and exploitation, their withdrawal from school has peculiar reasons. They are related to the sexual division of labor, which places reproductive work and domestic work as natural and priority functions of the so-called female sex, placing any other activity in a less important place. Operating in coloniality, education can also have an important role in this process. By (re)producing discourses and practices that reinforce sexual roles, it perpetuates the idea that schooling is secondary for girls, contributing to school abandonment.

This thesis explores the role of translation in the production and manipulation of identities in the contemporary Americas as exemplified in the work of Guillermo Gómez-Peña. Underscoring the instrumentality of borders vis-à-vis dominant constructions of identity and in connection with questions of language, race, and citizenship, I argue that translation not only functions as an agent of hegemonic superiority and oppression, but also as a locus of plurivocity and hybridization. Drawing from the concepts “continuous variation” (Deleuze and Guattari [1987] 2004), “coloniality of power” (Mignolo 2000), and “hybridization” (García-Canclini 1995), I discuss the connection of translation with three main topics: monolingualism, globalization, and racial hybridity. First, I discuss the influence that the dominant ideology of the nation-state has exerted on the way translation has been conceptualized since translation studies emerged as a field. Then I turn to colonial legacies in the Americas and the role of translation in situations of language hegemony as shaped by forces of assimilation and diversification. Finally, I look at translation as a crucial agent for the production and legitimization of Latin American identity throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Viewing translation as a performative and transformative activity, I critique a number of contemporary approaches to translation and I point to new understandings of translation as a cluster concept (Tymoczko 2007) in order to expand translation theory and practice beyond Western paradigms.

[pt] O ensino de Marketing no Brasil, como objeto de estudo, foi escassamente analisado pela própria área. Em consequência, pouco se entende sobre como tal ensino pode ser um instrumento de repetição de padrões e ideias do Norte Global. A fim de compreender como tais questões geopolíticas afetam o marketing, adota-se, aqui, a opção decolonial, que se apresenta como um projeto que visa retirar a miragem da modernidade e da colonialidade, colocando-se como um contraponto crítico, e que pode ajudar a construir uma outra forma de pensar. À frente desse quadro, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar, por meio da perspectiva decolonial, como a colonialidade se faz presente no ensino universitário de marketing em Escolas de Negócios no Brasil, a fim de compreender a maneira como o conhecimento disseminado pela disciplina reproduz acriticamente aquele originário do Norte Global e exclui outros advindos de realidades subalternizadas, porém relacionados a marketing. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo em três etapas, sendo a primeira sobre a CAPES, a segunda um levantamento sobre as bibliografias utilizadas em disciplinas de marketing em programas de pós-graduação de excelência no Brasil, e a terceira composta de entrevistas em profundidade com docentes universitários de marketing. A análise dos dados foi feita por meio de investigação temática, orientada pela perspectiva decolonial, e indicou a presença de colonialidade nas ações da agência reguladora que cuida da pós-graduação no Brasil, e na escolha das bibliografias utilizadas pelos docentes em suas disciplinas e em suas condutas pedagógicas. Entretanto, também foi possível perceber frechas de contraposição à colonialidade, que buscam valorizar a realidade e o contexto nacional. / [en] The teaching of Marketing in Brazil, as an object of study, has been scarcely analyzed by the field itself. Consequently, little is understood about how such teaching can be an instrument of repetition of patterns and ideas from the Global North. In order to understand how such geopolitical issues affect marketing, the decolonial option is adopted here, which presents itself as a project that aims to remove the mirage of modernity and coloniality, positioning itself as a critical counterpoint, and which can help build another way of thinking. In light of this framework, the present study aims to analyze, through the decolonial perspective, how coloniality is present in the university teaching of marketing in Business Schools in Brazil, in order to understand how the knowledge disseminated by the discipline uncritically reproduces that originating from the Global North and excludes others arising from subalternized realities, but related to marketing. For this purpose, a four-stage field research was conducted, the first on CAPES, the second a survey of the bibliographies used in marketing disciplines in excellence postgraduate programs in Brazil, and the third consisting of in-depth interviews with university marketing professors. Data analysis was conducted through thematic investigation, guided by the decolonial perspective, and indicated the presence of coloniality in the actions of the regulatory agency that oversees postgraduate education in Brazil, and in the choice of bibliographies used by professors in their disciplines and pedagogical practices. However, it was also possible to perceive cracks of opposition to coloniality, which seek to value national reality and context.

[pt] A presente dissertação tem como objetivo realizar uma leitura estético-política da obra do diretor português Pedro Costa. Orientada pelas narrativas, pela mise-enscène e pelos modos de produção do cinema do realizador, ela pretende discorrer e tensionar questões acerca da colonialidade que perpassa Portugal e o continente europeu no século XXI. A partir desta obra que é enfocada nas Fontainhas, bairro lisboeta de emigrados cabo-verdianos que foi demolido pelo estado português, objetiva-se compreender o trabalho estético e político de dois filmes acompanharam este processo: No quarto da Vanda (2000) e Juventude em marcha (2006), além da realização posterior à demolição das Fontainhas: Cavalo Dinheiro (2014). Filmes que apontam para as fantasmagorias dos processos coloniais, buscando assim, trazer as suas personagens como agentes centrais dos procedimentos de fabulação do real de tais apontamentos. / [en] This dissertation aims to carry out an aesthetic-political reading of Portuguese film director Pedro Costa s work. Guided by the filmmaker s narratives, mise-enscène, and cinematic production style, the intention is to reflect on and stress questions related to coloniality that have penetrated Portugal and the European continent in the 21st century. With a body of work focussed on Fontainhas, a Lisbon neighborhood of Cape Verdean immigrants demolished by the Portuguese state, this study aims to understand the aesthetic and political work of two films that accompanied this process: In Vanda s Room (2000) and Colossal Youth (2006), in addition to the film completed after the demolition of Fontainhas: Horse Money (2014). These films point out the phantasmagorias of the colonial processes, seeking, as a result, to bring forth the characters as central agents in the fabling process of the real events noted.

[pt] Esta tese investiga os modos em que o Haiti é evocado no discurso político brasileiro em diferentes contextos. Usufruindo de enquadramentos analíticos pós-coloniais e foucaultianos, foca-se em duas grandes emergências desta prática discursiva: primeiro, com o inovador léxico do Haitianismo, durante os debates políticos do Império Brasileiro, no século XIX; depois, no âmbito do envolvimento brasileiro com a Missão das Nações Unidas para Estabilização do Haiti (MINUSTAH), de 2004 a 2017. O estudo mostra que as atuais narrativas que celebram o sucesso de um Jeito Brasileiro de construção da paz falham em notar como noções problemáticas de hierarquias raciais e tecnologias mais eficientes de poder governamental são desenvolvidas e exercidas sobre as populações-alvo. Argumenta-se que, sob o prisma do Haitianismo, tais discursos celebratórios das intervenções militares Sul-Sul perdem seu apelo político e consistência teórica, já que a colonialidade e o biopoder que os informam são expostos e sua originalidade questionada. Conclui-se notando que o estudo do Haitianismo permite seguir descolonizando e resistindo à autoridade dos modos emergentes de complexos de poder-saber humanitários, incluindo aqueles que estão além do modelo tradicional da Paz Liberal. / [en] This doctoral dissertation investigates the modes in which Haiti is invoked in Brazilian political discourse in different contexts. Drawing on post-colonial and Foucauldian frameworks of analysis, it focuses on two major emergences of such discursive practice: first, with the innovative lexicon of Haitianism, during 19th century Brazilian Imperial political debates; then, alongside Brazilian involvement with the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), from 2004 to 2017. The study shows that current narratives that celebrate a Brazilian way of peacebuilding fail to notice how problematic accounts of racial hierarchies and more efficient governmental technologies of power are developed and exercised upon target populations. It argues that through the prism of Haitianism such celebratory discourses regarding South-South military interventions lose their political appeal, as the coloniality and biopower that inform them are exposed and their originality questioned. It concludes by noticing that the study of Haitianism permits to further decolonize and resist the authority of emerging humanitarian power-knowledge complexes beyond the traditional Liberal Peace model.
