This Thematic Symposium (TS) aims to expand spaces for discussion and theoretical-empirical studies focused on topics relating education, history(ies), social movements, and indigenous and Black issues in the Amazons. We prioritize interdisciplinary reflections addressing topics such as affirmative action\u2014access and retention in Basic and Higher Education\u2014, histories of communicational and educational processes\u2014including non-formal ones\u2014, critical interculturality (Candau, 2012, 2016; Walsh, 2017), critical theory, decoloniality\u2014of knowledge, of power, of being…\u2014(Lander, 2005; Walsh, 2017), anticoloniality (C\u00e9saire, 2022, 2024; Fanon, 2020, 2022), countercoloniality (N\u00eago Bispo, 2015, 2023), social, indigenous and Black movements, as well as experiences of struggle and resistance of the original peoples and Black populations of the Amazons. The papers presented may result from completed or ongoing research, accounts of experiences, or teaching proposals and outreach projects. We understand that education, histories, social movements and indigenous and Black issues in the Amazons are permeated by attempts at denial, annihilation, whitening, erasure… that insist on rendering invisible the many historical-educational trajectories experienced in the Amazons, and that also disregard the struggles, resistances and (re)existences of the original peoples, of Black people, of riverine communities…, which have likewise been marked by relations and actions of assimilation, ethnic repression, and the systematic practice of genocide. In other words, these issues have given rise to many discourses, reflections and analyses regarding the historical-educational processes and the indigenous, Black and riverine peoples and nations, who have undergone\/undergo oscillations and (re)significations over the centuries, with a plurality of understandings coexisting\u2014from assimilationist to romantic ones\u2014showing that the educational, historical and population identifications of the Amazon range from images of heroes to internal enemies who must be pacified\u2014enslaved\u2014civilized and incorporated into societies, signifying a flagrant disrespect, still today, for socio-educational, linguistic, historical, belonging, territorial and cultural rights. In this sense, from the theoretical-methodological perspective set out for receiving papers in this Thematic Symposium, we hold that educational-historical studies, social movements and indigenous and Black Amazonian issues can encourage and foster works that build and rearticulate social contexts marked by colonialities, especially involving indigenous peoples, Black populations, social movements and the historical-educational processes rooted in the territory\u2014which is also an important national and international geopolitical space\u2014known as the Amazon(s).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","simposio_area":[53],"class_list":["post-10521","simposio","type-simposio","status-publish","hentry","simposio_area-educacion"],"yoast_head":"\n
