O torém como lugar de memória e espaço de formação na educação escolar diferenciada indígena Tremembé

Abstract

The Torém is an ancient circle dance performed by the Tremembé indigenous population of the town of Almofala, Itarema/Ceará. In this research we seek to identify how the Torém is part of the everyday school life of Indigenous School Maria Venância. The idea was to investigate the contributions of Torém as pedagogical practice and as thematic study to strengthen the cultural uniqueness of the Tremembé people, considering the references of colonialism / descolonialim. To do this, we use the methodological references of ethnography. In this trajectory, we observe the moments devoted to the Torem in school with elementary school students. We participated in the disciplines "Torém and Spirituality Tremembé" in high school, and " Torém: Science, Philosophy and Spirituality Tremembé" in higher education,and we conducted narrative interviews, to know which meanings are attributed to dance Torém by teachers. Currently, We found that the Torém, beyond a social practice, is also a pedagogical practice and a discipline of the curriculum of the School Differentiated Indigenous Tremembé Education. The Torém as pedagogical practice in EEDITE, serves to teach children the corner and the dance of this ritual. As a curricular discipline Torém favors the recognition and appreciation of Tremembé culture, it allows discuss topics such as politics, spirituality, leisure.
