Aquilombamento virtual mediatic:

A methodological approach to the study of black media

Abstract

We propose a methodological perspective based on the historical roots of resistance of the quilombos, for the analysis of black Brazilian media and their social practices: aquilombamento virtual mediatic. It is a approach that aims to intensify reflections on ethnic-racial issues, to the same extent that it works to reinforce black identity and its agency in society. These black media strengthen the anti-racist struggle, using communication in digital media as a tool to face oppression. We start from the concept of virtual bios (SODRÉ, 2002), quilombos as revolutionary institutions (B. NASCIMENTO, 1978) and the quilombist cognitive matrix, centered on the union of black people as a political-social organization, which currently occupies the space of networks (A. NASCIMENTO, 2019). Methodologically, we developed interdisciplinary bibliographic research, having as reference the reflections of Abdias Nascimento (2019), Djamila Ribeiro (2017, 2018, 2019), Achille Mbembe (2014), Sueli Carneiro (2005), Muniz Sodré (2002), Kabengele Munanga (1996) and Beatriz Nascimento (1978).
