The constitution of Being-Knowledge by the Oral Tradition of African Matrix: Ancestry, Education and the (Po)Ethics of Orality in the Transmission of Knowledge
Education; Oral Tradition of African Matrix; Traditional Cultural Expressions; Traditional Peoples and Communities; Decoloniality.
The educational processes in the Oral Tradition of African Matrix promote the constitution of ‘Being-Knowledge’ from movements of (re)existence based on the consciousness of Ancestrality, from the understanding of the human-nature unit as inseparable. In this way, the educational processes of oral transmission of traditional knowledge have ancestry as their guiding thread and are configured as processes that educate for freedom, since they constitute human beings who are not fragmented by modernity/coloniality in their self-awareness as historical and ancestral beings, and who therefore position themselves in the world as resistance-rexistent, from Nature. The understanding of Orality is developed as a system of thought, a civilizing, epistemic foundation, a place of production and sustenance of the Diaspora territory, through the body-territories that make the Tradition alive. Thus, the Oral Tradition of African Matrix, as an educational process of constitution of existences, intentionally provides educational processes aimed at ethical commitment from the fundamentals experienced by communities of African Matrix in Cultural Expressions, Traditional Peoples and Communities.
