ARRUTI, José Maurício. Alterity function: the cangume, the teacher, the school and the university. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.49, pp.21-33. ISSN 0104-7043. https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.v26.n49.2133.
This text brings together historical and ethnographic scenes to describe the construction and resignification of the symbolic border that marks the distance and proximity between the quilombola community of Cangume (Itaca - SP) and the white society of its surroundings. In this story, which covers the 1970s to the present, the role played by agents, knowledge and school practices is highlighted: the school served as a space to reelaboration the symbolic contents and senses of the border. Our objective is to draw attention to the ‘alterity function’ of this border, illuminating with the case of Cangume a common and more general device that marks the relationship between other quilombola communities and the populations of their surroundings, and especially with the school.
