Escavando a Violência Colonial: Arqueologia Griótica e Engajamento Comunitário na Guiana
Resumo
Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar criticamente a colonialidade arqueológica e aponta a necessidade urgente de mudanças epistemológicas no conhecimento arqueológico. Concebida como uma desobediência epistemológica afroguianesa, a Arqueologia Griótica representa uma tentativa de distanciar-se da reiteração disciplinar da violência colonial. Esta abordagem e o engajamento de duas comunidades, Moun’Roura e Moun’Wayam, permitiram abrir espaço para o conhecimento, as memórias, e as percepções de mundo afroguianesas e indígenas no âmbito do trabalho arqueológico realizado em Habitation La Caroline, um sítio de escravização na Guiana. Abstract: This article intends to address archaeological coloniality and points to the urgent need for epistemological changes within the field. Conceived as an Afroguianese epistemological disobedience, Griotic Archaeology represents an attempt to step away from the disciplinary reiteration of colonial violence. This approach and the engagement of two communities, Moun'Roura and Moun'Wayam, allowed to open space for Afroguianese and Indigenous knowledge, memories, and world-perceptions in the archaeological work conducted at Habitation La Caroline, a site of enslavement in Guiana.Referências
