Twenty years after Law n. 10.639/2003

the crossroads of School Physical Education

Abstract

This article is the result of a synthesis of an undergraduate thesis of the same title, which was motivated by the 20-year anniversary of Law 10639 (Brazil, 2003) and aims to analyze it’s crossroads with school Physical Education (PE). A theoretical study was carried out, based on a bibliographical survey of theses, articles and books that addressed the topic, using historical-dialectical materialism and counter-colonial epistemology as references to analyze the phenomena of racism and coloniality. In this vein, we spoke with Simas and Rufino (2018) to swallow education based on the aegis of the cross and spit it out as a crossroads, a field of life, existence and sharing of this “Amefrican Ladina America”. Thus, it was concluded that ancestry became a pillar to produce a set of “blackspectives” (black + perspectives) capable of bringing about the necessary movement for the resignification of education and the alteration of a social script, restoring black people to their leading role. The violence produced by the social neurosis of structural racism hinders the appropriation of a counter-colonial epistemology. However, it is argued that the use of communication and the valorization of those who experience education can promote critical individuals capable of transforming and, why not, resignifying this historically rigid system. Within that, PE, in its constant state of entropy, can walk between its limits and possibilities for the transformation of its pedagogical praxis, producing a pluriverse based on a notoriously anti-racist teaching.
