Odus: African Philosophy for an afro-referenced methodology

Abstract

The present article presents the philosophical methodology, which is also content, of the Odus. This is an afro-referenced methodology demarcated by our origin, our ancestry, our paths / experiences. We will nourish here a formative dialogue from cultures, ways of being / being in the world, African and Afro-descendant philosophies and knowledge. It seeks to delineate a diverse, plural form, horizontal, circular perspective that understands universality from a place, from our own ground, where the body is the producer and source of knowledge. We will presente this methodology that is woven by epistemological implications, activists, politics, ethics, in search of curricular decolonization and of the knowledge itself, delineated by sensitive listening, perpassed by the collective, by historical memory, by black resistance and self-formation.
