Abstract

This study, with a theoretical approach, has as its thesis the subalternity in the decolonial epistemological perspective in the studies of PCT's, analyzing the theory and experience of people's resistance in the North of Minas Gerais, and the main objective is to analyze the processes of subalternity in studies on peoples and traditional communities in the North of Minas Gerais through the epistemology of decoloniality. To achieve this objective, it is important to: distinguish, through studies of decoloniality and the perspective of the subordinate or subordinate, the positioning of social subjects present in studies in the North of Minas Gerais; to analyze the process of domination, represented by two poles, dominated and dominator, present in territorial studies on the region; and to relate processes of territorialization and activation of the identities of traditional communities with the production of subalternity in the North of Minas. It is important to highlight that the object of study of this proposal is the studies of Peoples and Traditional Communities of the North of Minas Gerais, and to carry out this study the research material consists of studies and research (Theses and Dissertations) on these peoples, being exemplary of analysis, Indigenous, Quilombolas, Geraizeiros, Vazanteiros and Veredeiros, which through integrative literature review and discourse analysis, as research tools, will interpret the meaning of the studies produced on the traditional peoples of the North of Minas Gerais. The hypothesis of this study is the Decoloniality present in the studies and experience of PCTs in the Northern region of Minas Gerais, that is, the existence of epistemological studies with a decolonial perspective, even not using terms and authors of decoloniality studies, considering that the importance of the process beyond identity and territory, but for the construction of subalternity as a form of resistance. For this debate, some categories of analysis are essential: Coloniality; Subalternity; Domination; Identity; Territory; territoriality; Traditional Peoples and Communities; Quilombola; Geraizeiro; Indigenous; Vazanteiro; veredeiro.
