CHAUA, Roberto da Costa Joaquim. SCHOOL EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE NETWORKS IN MOZAMBIQUE: colonialities, epistemicides and current issues. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.62, pp.347-359.  Epub Feb 09, 2022. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.49515.

Drafted from the historical understanding of the education system in Mozambique, from immersion in the daily life of schools of the North of the country and from clashes over the relationship between knowledge networks, particularly, the school and the initiation rites, this article historically maps colonialities, epistemicides and issues of education in Mozambique. From this mapping, it chooses the metaphor dialogue around the bonfire as space-time of resistance and the dialogue necessary to understand the conflicts and negotiations that subsists over there. The bonfire presents itself as a living environment in a human dimension, through which ideas of freedom and subversion come out represented in the human acts of eating, warming up, making stories and sharing them constituting a symbol of mechanisms activated to fight, live and dream in a context of misery.

Keywords : education; knowledge; colonialities; resistances.
