NARRATIVE-WRITING AS A POSSIBILITY OF POLITICAL RESISTANCE

This article shares my assumption of theoretical-methodological paths in which I choose to move away from traditional and positivist ways of doing research in which knowledge to be legitimized needs to be measured, quantified and validated by a modern contemporary, racist and hegemonic science that excludes black peoples from the process of knowledge production (ROSA, BRITO; PINHEIRO, 2020) to approach me in a way(s) to research that welcomes a first person written research, where my writing is articulated with the experiences lived by me as a black woman and a teacher of early childhood education in the shanty town. For this, I use the writings-experiences (EVARISTO, 2020) as a methodological tool and as a possibility to narrate the lived (LIMA; GERALDI; GERALDI, 2015), evoking daily experiences in a discourse that is enunciated from within my own reality. In the text, I defend literature as a possibility to enhance the construction of identities, the strengthening and appreciation of black belonging in which narratives promote the enchantment and discovery of the beauty of being black and the denunciation of the subaltern condition that society insists on placing us as a woman and black, especially in the academic environment, where our voices are systematically silenced and the knowledge arising from experience is systematically refuted.
