REIS, Diego dos Santos. PHILOSOPHY OUTSIDE THE CURRICULAR GRIDS: the Law 10.639/03 and the challenges for an anti-racist philosophy teaching. Revista Teias [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.68, pp.134-146.  Epub Feb 13, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2022.54025.

The essay aims to discuss the epistemic, political and cultural assumptions of the philosophy curriculum from the implementation of Law 10.639/03 and its critique to epistemic racism. The effects, traces and persistent structures of coloniality in philosophy teaching – in particular, through philosophy curriculum – are discussed in this analysis, from the theoretical perspective of decolonial thinking. It is also a matter of problematizing the mismatch between Latin American reality and the hegemonic academic trends of a Eurocentric perspective, which disregard the geopolitical determinations in knowledge construction and the knowledge of indigenous, Latin American and African diaspora people. Finally, it is discussed that this project is based on values of European modernity/coloniality that generate the subalternization and silencing of knowledge produced from other body-politics matrices, invalidating them by epistemicide. Therefore, thinking about philosophy curriculum on a decolonial and anti-racist basis requires to question the guiding premises of an ethnic, sexual and racially excluding project.

Keywords : decoloniality; racism; law 10.639/03; philosophy curriculum; coloniality of knowing.
