Module II - Confluences of the Periphery Teacher: Nêgo Bispo or Antônio Bispo dos Santos. Duration: 25'42” Realization: November 2018 Location: Galpão Bela Maré Summary: Based on the reflection on the colonialist processes that institute and legitimize a single way of producing knowledge and social representations of humanity, Nêgo Bispo shows us in this video lesson how society can transgress the sociopolitical construction of memory, in order to value the knowledge, languages and writings of the periphery considered within this monocultural and colonialist paradigm as subordinate. Presentation: The course Meanings of the Periphery: Representations, Confluences and Transgressions seeks to share, based on the critique of hegemonic paradigms, different conceptual repertoires and embodied experiences of the plural meanings of urban peripheries in contemporary times. In addition to deconstructing stereotypes and stigmas that mark peripheral subjects and territories, we wish to mobilize other possibilities for reading, recognizing and affirming the peripheries as powers for the invention of sociocultural representations, for the confluence of differences in being and for the political transgressions of social inequalities and corporeal-territorial distinctions. General Objective: The proposed course is an invitation to a qualified debate on the repositioning of the peripheries as centralities for the formulation of utopias of the Right to the City. It is, therefore, an exercise in the shared construction of narratives supported by new theoretical, political, cultural, corporeal and territorial references for thinking, living and transforming the world of life, taking as reference the subjects in their multiple existences in the peripheries. Biography: Born in the Berlengas River Valley (PI), he grew up in the Saco-Curtume Quilombo (São João do Piauí/PI) and built a trajectory of relevant activity based on his territoriality, ancestry and quilombola worldview. Farmer; poet; writer; intellectual; activist; militant; visiting professor at universities; documentary filmmaker; quilombola leader or, as he prefers to be called, a 'reporter of knowledge'. Based on his intellectual production and political activism, he developed not only a consistent critique of the model of society imposed on black people and populations living on the outskirts of the city, but also sought to bring to light the long history of struggle of subaltern populations in search of paradigms of thinking and living that expand human creative potential.
