This presentation outlines, in general terms, the premises of the full professorship thesis currently under preparation, entitled De-Westernization: A Brazilian strategy of emancipation, with emphasis on formal education. Given that, in Brazil, the Western worldview determines dominant cultural practices, the main objective of this talk is to propose de-westernization—which is frequently discussed in Communication Studies, but here approached from an Afrocentric perspective—for all levels of Brazilian formal education. From this central goal, the following specific objectives unfold: (i) to indicate cosmogonic logic as a guiding principle in the formation of cultural practices, and from there present the polar-opposite notions (Cheikh Anta Diop) of “cosmovision” (Western) and “cosmoperception” (African/Indigenous); (ii) to show, since the First History of Humanity, how the modus operandi of human groups from the Nordic Cradle configured the foundations of the Western worldview based on biological determinism; (iii) to introduce the role of Westernized formal education as the “arm” of hegemonic Western domination; (iv) to present and problematize the field of Westernized formal education in Brazil and the limits imposed by systemic institutional racism evident in the disregard of Laws 10,639/2003 and 11,645/2008; (v) to indicate the urgency of de-Westernizing Brazilian formal education as a foundation for the country’s geopolitical and economic emancipation; and (vi) to propose de-Westernization as a necessary emancipatory process to confront the humanitarian crisis caused by climate change.
