A dança do pagode baiano na escola: o corpo negro periférico e sua intersecção nesses contextos

Abstract

This research aims to enhance the understanding of baiano pagode dance as a motto for artistic-educational discussions and approaches, concerned with the black body in the school scenario. The central problem poses the following question: How does pagode baiano present possibilities for the teaching of dance in the public schools of Salvador, including the narratives of the black peripheral body? Our theoretical and methodological framework is based on the following authors: Mattos, to deal with the performance of pagode baiano in the school context; Freire, thinking about an education focused on the oppressed; Dewey, to understand the relationship between experience and education; Marques, in order to reflect on a critical and transformative dance teaching, and also Ribeiro, to think about the place of speech, especially, of the black body. We also used the ethnographic methodology, through dance, presented by Dantas. The results point to the visibility of the history of pagode baiano, through the eyes of dance artists; to the recognition of this dance as an artistic-educational knowledge in dialogue with various themes; and to the epistemological contribution to the fields of education and dance. Therefore we conclude that this study is necessary because it is an important pioneering work in the specific research of the dance of pagode baiano at the University. It also offers tools for dance teachers and teachers of other disciplines who want to work with this style.
