Tudo o que nois tem é nois: práticas de aquilombamento presentes no documentário “Emicida: AmarElo – é tudo pra ontem” sob uma perpesctiva decolonial da psicologia

Abstract

This research arises from the discomfort of seeing the black population being portrayed only as victims of racism, while their powers are ignored. Based on this, the following question arises: in what ways does the documentary “Emicida: AmarElo - É Tudo Pra Ontem” show us the practices of quilombamento as a psycho-affective strengthening of the black population? To answer it, decolonial, counter-colonial and black feminism epistemologies will be used. Thus, this research has its relevance because it is a knowledge that confronts the white and Eurocentric psychology of the academies, as well as its hegemonic epistemology. It is basic in nature, has an exploratory objective and, in relation to data collection, is bibliographic and documentary. To understand the data, film analysis was used. As a general objective, we intend to analyze how the experiences of quilombola appear in the documentary “Emicida: AmarElo – É Tudo Pra Ontem” as a psycho-affective strengthening of the black population from a decolonial perspective of psychology. The specific objectives are: to point out the process of counter-colonization in the formation of quilombos from the African diaspora; distinguish the decolonial and counter-colonial epistemologies in the academy and the impacts of this for psychology; specify and analyze how the forms of quilombamento appear in the documentary “Emicida: AmarElo – É Tudo Pra Ontem” as a psycho-affective strengthening of the black population. It is argued that these quilombamento practices appear through the return to the past, community bond and struggle articulation. It is concluded that the psycho-affective strengthening of the black population requires a community perspective, rather than an individualizing one, as proposed by hegemonic epistemologies.
