Afroitalianizando a educação linguística em língua italiana no Brasil: materiais didáticos de resistência e reexistência

Abstract

This research is situated in the field of Applied Linguistics (AL) and aims to contribute to linguistic education in Italian as a foreign language (IL) that promotes emancipation, critical racial literacy and the development of decolonial thinking among learners, through the production of didactic units that contemplate the voices and stories told through Afro-Italian music. It is a qualitative research of exploratory and qualitative nature. The production of the didactic units from Afro-Italian songs, aim to contemplate and recognize the cultural diversity in the trilogue between: Africa, Brazil and Italy, offering a reflexive perspective that allows the teaching of Italian, especially in the Brazilian context, demonstrating that there is an ethnic and racial plurality in the aforementioned places, discussing about the construction and reclaiming of identities and reflecting on the application of Law 10.639/2003. The data already presented indicate the necessity to Afro-Italianize education in IL, in order to promote an anti-racist education that enables us to continue resisting and reexisting, even through the learning of a language historically understood as colonial.
