Afro-Brazilian Social and Subjective (Po)Ethics: Teachings from Black and Indigenous Peoples

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT This study investigates the pedagogical and sociological teachings present in the myths of the orishas and the perspectives of some indigenous thinkers. Using a decolonial and counter-colonial framework, it seeks to question and encourage the creation of paths to break with coloniality, promoting the invention of new ways of thinking about society and its sociopolitical organization. The study proposes abandoning white-colonial perspectives and exploring the social and subjective (po)ethics of Black and Indigenous cultures to rethink collectivity, human-nature relations, transgression and order, social maintenance, duality, and other gender perspectives.
