Os letramentos de empoderamento feminino negro: a educação de jovens e adultos e os processos de aprendizados na rede social Facebook

Abstract

The black feminine empowerment literacy, designed from the use of the social network Facebook in the action of valuing the corporality of women; Having curly hair as a symbol of struggle, resistance and reexistence, is the theme of this research. Our general objective was to investigate how participation in groups and / or communities that discuss curly hair as an identity symbol in the social network interferes with the meaning attributed to the identities of black women enrolled in the EJA or who have passed through it. While particularities related to the subject, we propose to: identify the situations of knowledge construction by blackeducators related to Afro-Brazilian hair; Detect the presence and conception of black female empowerment in Facebook groups and communities; Understand the types of literacy derived from the participation of these women in groups / communities in relationto the conception of empowerment; In addition to creating a proposal for a Course Plan and Didactic Sequence for a training course that addresses the digital literacy and technologies for Youth and Adult Education (EJA), addressing ethnic-racial relations. We present as presupposed questions about the conception of the term empowerment. To do this, we use as a starting point, questions such as: what is the meaning of the appropriation of empowerment by the participants of the groups and communities of Facebook? Is black female empowerment a category or part of an emancipatory process? And how do the literacies of black female empowerment interfere with the EJA learning process? The frameworks that supported the research were: Gomes (2003,2008,2011), who works on questions about the aesthetics of the black body and its social relation in school and non-school environment; Hooks (2005, 2015), which deals with the relationship of black women with curly hair; Hall (2000, 2011), which discusses the conceptions ofsubject and Souza (2011), which observes the Letters of Reexistence and Resistance (of what? Of who? Of the black woman?). Thus, as a methodology, Netnography was used -a specific form of ethnography adapted to the particularities of the virtual world, which assisted in the compilation, selection and analysis of data from postings of images, texts, tastings and comments published in the forums of the groups and Communities that portray the themes of empowerment and black corporeity. Understanding the meaning, the importance of empowerment, and its implications for society and oppressive relationships have resulted in the construction of the concept of Black Female Empowerment Letters.
