Elementos teopedagógicos afrocentrados para superação da violência de gênero contra as mulheres negras: diálogo com a comunidade-terreiro Ilè À Se Yemojá Omi Olodó e "O acolhimento que alimenta a ancestralidade"

Abstract

The current thesis is a fruit of the dialog between the Anglican Christian tradition and the Batuque tradition, with the goal of identifying within the educational actions and the pedagogical processes of the Terreiro Community Ilè Àṣẹ Yemọjá Omi Olodò, theo-pedagogical elements of empowerment and autonomy of the black women, making it possible to have better conditions to overcome gender violence. Since its context is Latin American, it adopts the research methodology that is specific to Liberation Theology, which has as its methodological steps the triad see-judge-act. Each step is dealt with by one of the three chapters which make up the text, being that it is possible to see the scenario of the Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Gaúcho religions with a special focus on the only African matrix tradition in Rio Grande do Sul: the Batuque, as well as to present the characteristics of the role of the women in this religious complex. A panorama of the history of the Ilè and the description of its educational actions and its pedagogical processes are presented. The theoretical base of the research stems from the conceptualizations of gender, gender violence, violence against black women, ethnicity and religion, to assure their relations based on the comprehension of an emerging intersectionalism, which has, within the tradition and ancestry, Afro-centered aspects with which to judge the reality of gender violence against black women. In sequence, an analysis is made from an Afro-centered perspective, of the testimonies of five black women and of the leader of the Terreiro, from which it was possible to identify the food which feeds the ancestry as a civilizational process of (re)founding humanity with theo-pedagogical elements which can contribute to the strengthening of the actions for overcoming gender violence against black women.
