Abstract

The research has the main goal objective to analyze the diversity of symbolic, cultural, pedagogical and political representations existing in the memory initiatives in Remaining Communities of Quilombos in Paraná. The thesis will seek to raise narratives and historical and ethnographic representations of the communities, know the uses, practices and material and immaterial knowledge of their collections and identify the relationships and connections they establish with the school, the territory and the quilombola political struggle. Its hypothesis is to perceive these places as a Living Museum, with dynamics of updating and reconstruction of memories that can be the result of a colonialist past and also as tools of engagement in favor of identity affirmation and anti-racist struggle.
