Justiça por vir: por uma educação matemática para adiar o fim do mundo

Abstract

Taking as a starting point the life philosophy of “Buen Vivir”, from the peoples of the Andes, this article aims to present several reflections resulting from research that seek epistemic and social justice by tensioning discourses and curricular practices that promote a single image of Mathematics, which invisibilizes and subalternizes knowledge and bodies. For this purpose, we present a dialogic scene with two characters, who speak from affections that go across us, but are not entirely us; they do not speak from individual voices butbased on different works developed in a collective and dialogic way amongthe members of two Brazilian mathematics education research groups. In the debate raised about Mathematics, its universality and its bondswith modernity/coloniality, we demand a Mathematics Education to postpone the end of the world –orelse, a Mathematics Education to anticipatethe end of this world, of this abstraction of humanity, a Mathematics Education that stands against the proclaimed “back tonormal”, a Mathematics Education to produce other worlds, to tell other stories of these worlds.
