DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES

7

Participants Presentation Roundtable

During this moment everyone will present themselves. To avoid it from being tedious, for each person to be more than his/her professional projects and a geography and so that our memory can retain more information, we will prepare a dynamic activity, which involves three elements that everyone must bring: a) A biography that should not merely be a professional resume and does not exceed half a page. The style is totally free, and can be more or less conventional (prose, poetry, drawing, combination of various styles, etc.). b) An image of oneself on paper. It can be a photograph, portrait, drawing, etc. What matters is that it is an image that you like, not necessarily up-to-date, not necessarily professional. c) A piece of fabric of your choice (a strip about 3 cm x 30 cm strip).

Discussion and approval of the coexistence agreement

This methodology was learned from Popular University of Social Movements Workshops 2. On the first morning of the course, participants will collectively define the School's ground rules and coexistence guidelines. Among other principles, it is advisable to define the duration of interventions in debates, to clarify the degree of exposure to photos and filming with which each one feels comfortable and to establish forms of understanding between participants who do not have a common language.

Occupying epistemology: Why Epistemologies of the South?, by Boaventura de Sousa Santos

Focusing initially on the critique of scientific knowledge, epistemology today has to do with the analysis of the conditions of identification and validation of knowledge in general. It has, therefore, a normative dimension. In this sense, the epistemologies of the South challenge the dominant epistemologies. This first session will be focused on the main premises, questions and conceptual instruments of the Epistemologies of the South: what is the abyssal line and the abyssal and post-abyssal thinking? What is the sociology of absences and the ecology of knowledges? What is the sociology of emergences? What are the main questions raised by Epistemology of the South (the problem of relativism, the problem of objectivity, the problem of the role of science, the problem of authorship, the problem of orality and writing, the problem of struggle, the problem of experience, the problem of the corporeality of knowledge, the problem of unjust suffering, the problem of warming up reason or corazonar, the problem of how to relate meaning to co-presence)?

Post-abyssal and post-extractive methodologies, by Boaventura de Sousa Santos

Abyssal modern social sciences rely on methodologies that extract information from research objects in very much the same way as mining industries extract minerals and oil from nature. The epistemologies of the South, on the contrary, by relying on knowing-with rather than knowing- about, that is, by relying on the co-creation of knowledge among cognitive subjects, must offer some guidelines as to the methodologies that can carry out successfully such tasks. This session will discuss the following questions: How to decolonize knowledge and the methodologies by which it is produced? How to develop methodologies that are consonant with the epistemologies of the South, i.e., non-extractivist methodologies? What are the contexts for the mixes of scientific and artisanal knowledges in the ecologies of knowledges? What does it entail to be a post-abyssal researcher? What is a deep experience of the senses? How to demonumentalize written knowledge and promote authorship?.

Pedagogies of the Epistemologies of the South, by Boaventura de Sousa Santos

This session will discuss the post-abyssal pedagogies called for by the epistemologies of the South, the ways in which the epistemologies of the South are converted into a kind of new common sense for wider subaltern, counter-hegemonic publics engaged in progressive transformative practices. The following questions will be addressed: How to articulate and entertain a conversation among different knowledges that, in some instances, are anchored in different cultures (the problem of intercultural translation)? How to develop, proliferate, and sustain contexts for collaborative self-learning through which the ecologies of knowledges are practiced in light of commonly agreed upon transformative practices (The problem of popular education). How to refound the university on the basis of the primacy of the principle of cognitive justice? The problem of decolonizing the university. How to link popular education and the university through ecologies of knowledges and an artisanship of practices? How to recognize knowledges born or present in social struggles while these are being fought and, once ended, irrespective of their outcomes?

Q&A with Boaventura de Sousa Santos

In this session participants are invited to critically challenge Boaventura de Sousa Santos with questions or comments that relate the contents of the previous sessions with current topics, work being developed at the academic level or as activists in different places of the world, other authors and/or other theoretical currents. Boaventura will encourage discussion between the participants and the different coordinators while replying to each of the interventions. This session should enable the consolidation of the knowledges of the Epistemologies of the South and at the same time to provide the expansion and deepening of the Epistemologies of the South.

The political bodies of the circus, by Leire Mesa

The bodies of the circus, appealing to freedom of expression and putting at risk the moral and ethical value of precious life, provoke disturbances, eroticize bodies, look away from the point of 9

balance, cast doubts, question the impossible and present a high level of excitement . They represent, in conclusion, a great danger to the institutionalized order (Twisting the Balance Manifesto). This circus practice workshop aims to share circus/game tools with participants, reflecting on the body of the circus and its power of social and political transformation.

“Sarau Parada Poética” (Poetry Happening) with Renan Inquérito

This poetry evening intends to present literature stripped of any canonical or academic connotation. The spoken word breaks the customary silence of libraries and bookstores. There is only one rule: ears inclined to poetry. The meeting provides an open mike to share stories and poems as a way to celebrate orality. It is a place to recite texts, verses, phrases and revolts. Words read, memorized, improvised, no matter the form, we will not have form. Without professionals, just amateurs, AMĀTŌRS of art and word! Set free the poetry trapped in libraries, let loose the letters in notebooks, locked in drawers. We will serve raw words, so that each participant can prepare them in his/her own way. Braised rhymes, roasted sonnets, music alla milanese, bolognese poetry, carbonara tales and chronicles soufflé. A bunch of people, served of will. Let's mistreat grammar and blame poetic license.

Ecologies of knowledges and post-abyssal methodologies - Sharing of experiences and collective reflection, by Sara Araújo and Teresa Cunha

The Epistemologies of the South were tried and tested with the project ALICE – Strange Mirrors, Unsuspected Lessons: Leading Europe to a new way of sharing the world experiences. Drawing on screenings of the project’s films and the sharing of experiences, we will reflect on the implementation of the ecology of knowledges and non-extractivist methodologies used by the Epistemologies of the South group (UPMS Workshops, Conversations of the World, Ideas for Europe, etc.). Questions will be raised for collective discussion and participants are expected to be able to critically comment on shared experiences, bring other examples of non-conventional methodologies, and raise methodological issues related to topics of interest and the work developed under their research and/or political activism.

Film “Alice’s Long Walk”

The documentary Alice's Long Walk follows the academic and sociopolitical wanderings of Boaventura de Sousa Santos in the course of the research project ALICE – Strange Mirrors, Unsuspected Lessons. The idea that European political imagination needs to reinvent itself in light of the social and political experiences of the world appears here grounded in multiple encounters, journeys and places of departure that give us access to the excursions that move Boaventura towards the Epistemologies of the South. By the hand of the director, Raquel Freire, Boaventura’s portrait is drawn between his public voice and the backstage of an incessant itinerary, ever familiar to the designs of affections and warm reason.

Rap Summaries

As a means of implementation of the ecology of knowledges, Boaventura de Sousa Santos challenges rapper Renan Inquérito to reinterpret his classes, turning them into rhymes and singing them.

Suffering, citizenship and emancipation, by José Manuel Mendes

The main questions posed in this session are: when does political recognition of suffering occur? How do imagined communities built on suffering mediate access to legitimacy and citizenship, both in national and international contexts? What is the role of law, states and international institutions in mediating between suffering and citizenship? Can suffering produce emancipatory practices?

Workshop Dictionary of Forgetfulness, by Renan Inquérito

Based on the epistemological proposal of the Ecology of Knowledges we will create a “new dictionary”, reframing words whose senses are too hard or distant from everyday language, including words used strictly in texts and academic theories. Thus, each of the participants will choose a set of words and will have a mission to give them a more affective, a rather empirical than theoretical meaning, in order to bring them closer to the everyday and the experiences of each one. After choosing the words and their new definitions, each one will make his/her own dictionary manually, using a sheet of coloured bond paper and a folding technique and our miniature book will be born - the little dictionary of forgetfulness.

Film “Missão Académica a Angola - Alguns Aspectos Cinematográficos da Viagem”

Cinematographic report on a two months field trip to Angola by a group of teachers and students from three Portuguese universities.

Decolonial Tour, guided by Maria Paula Meneses

The spaces we inhabit often condense violent experiences from the colonial encounter. Coimbra is no exception. This route seeks to draw attention to some silenced stories that express, when revealed, moments of the triple violence that marked over five centuries of European history: colonialism; hetero-patriarchy and capitalism. The key points of our tour will be: the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra; the Joanina Library; the Botanic Garden and the monument of Portugal dos Pequenitos (Portugal of the Little Ones).

Decolonising Modern University, by Maria Paula Meneses

What does it mean to decolonise the university? How to accomplish it? What experiences do we know? In a first moment we will focus on a broader evaluation of the challenges we are confronted with when seeking to decolonise the modern university; this includes a critical analysis of the impact of colonialism on the way many Europeans position themselves in relation to the non- European world, especially from the 15th century onwards. At the level of knowledge, the modern university project generates knowledge but also ignorance; it will hide and instrumentalise the knowledges and cultures present in the world (including Europe) that do not conform to the project of modernity. In this presentation we seek, together, in a second moment, and based upon absences and emergencies, to identify (i) knowledges and important reflections that contribute towards the understanding of contemporary unjust times; (ii) subalternised and silenced knowledges; (iii) methodological conditions that contribute to an effective epistemological decolonisation, to rethink the university from a condition of diversity, tendentiously horizontal.

Workshop Poetry and Gender - towards an intersectional poetic writing, by Raquel Lima

The methods, styles and themes in poetry have always been influenced by a male, white and elitist literary canon, hence the need to understand and place this hegemonic imposition on poetry from the body of the poet. There are patterns that support creative processes and identities in constant re-invention and rewriting, in a process of appropriation of several voices that, from the outset, may seem contradictory and in a search for a break from the stable, fixed and inert. These patterns are guided by the intensity with which the poetic subjects interconnect identity, sex, sexuality and gender roles, positioning themselves, or not, in a mutable dimension in constant redefinition. This workshop will be a collective exercise that stems from provocations to question and suggest ways of interpreting poetry, in light of the genre of those who write and interpret it. Proposing a revision of the gender ideology, we will try to identify, during the analysis of the poetic language of the participants, signs of repression of a normative discourse. The participation of the trainees of the CES Summer School will create a propitious environment to analyse and deepen the process of poetic writing, and to reflect on the theme, simultaneously, inside and outside the body of the poet and in the light of Epistemologies of the South.

Workshop Slam Orality

This practical workshop of slam poetry aims to find the poetry of each participant and present it in a group game in which each person can recite a part of themselves. The voice, singing, dancing, eyes, hands, silence are used to communicate our poetry to others: oral expression very own to being human. Seeking beauty from consciousness to be effective in communicating to any community, gender, race, society. theatre. If there is one thing in the world over which we have complete power to change it, it is ourselves.

Poetry Slam Night, with Raquel Lima and Mick Mengucci

Poetry slam is a practice and movement of poetic expression that relies on writing words to be spoken. Poetry slams are moments of sharing of messages and ideas through spoken poetry. They are places of exchange, valorisation of orality and democratisation of creation. In the green landscapes of Curia Park, everyone is invited to read and/or listen poetry of their own authorship. The variety of styles, themes, languages and speeches depends on the group's heterogeneity, creativity and will. There is no specific approach. There are, however, some rules: each intervention cannot exceed 3 minutes; the jury, which evaluates subjectively, unchained of academic criteria, is chosen among the participants and trainers; the winners receive a symbolic prize.

Epistemologies of the South, Body, Racism and Human Rights, by Bruno Sena Martins

Based on fieldwork conducted in the city of Bhopal, India, we immerse ourselves in the vivid memories of the survivors of the greatest industrial disaster in history. This approach intends to summon readings on the time, the violence and the demarcations of humanity that define social memory. In particular, it seeks to question the processes by which some lives are disproportionately exposed to violence and fail to receive just compensation, as well as the routes by which some sufferings are tendentiously elided from the social memory of the West. We are faced with “abyssal exclusions” engendered by a colonial-capitalist nexus whose power, linked to the hierarchies of religion and caste that disqualify Muslims and Dalit, reveals itself in the denial of the value of the life of the survivors of Bhopal. Finally, it analyses how the biographical and corporeal vulnerability, imposed by the disaster, created spaces of enunciation, resistance narratives and communities of “post-abyssal memory”.

Towards a post-abyssal conception of global health: dignity, care and cognitive justice, by João Arriscado Nunes

This session presents and discusses the proposal of a post-abyssal conception of global health in contrast to its hegemonic conception, based on the recognition of the richness and diversity of knowledges and practices that deal with suffering and care and its relation to biomedical resources, their appropriation and access to them. Particular consideration will be given to experiences of artisanship of practices resulting from encounters between body knowledges, health, illness and care, and conceptions of human dignity and justice.

Epistemologies of Sound and Dance - Soul Makossa Celebration, with Inês Rodrigues

The Soul Makossa celebration will transform the IV Summer School "Epistemologies of the South" into a cosmic dance with cumbia, boogaloo, funaná, semba, afrobeat, Brazilian tropicalismo, funk, soul and more. The only rule is to dance, dance, and dance!

Alice Solidarity Market

The solidarity market is the experimentation of an economy that has at its core reciprocity, not accumulation; ties, not surplus value; exchanges, not the commodification of life or affection; harmony, not exploitation; solidarity, not extractivism. In addition to being possible, for many people around the world, it is a way of thinking of a substantive economy where value prevails and where not everything can be bought or sold. In our ALICE solidarity market we will be able to carry out solidarity exchanges. To do so, everyone just has to contribute to this market with objects, services or products (preferably of their authorship, or that can be spared). For example: photos, drawings, poems, books, crafts, videos, clothing, records, paintings, bio-jewels, poetry recital workshops or fabric painting workshops..., in short, everything your imagination can consider. The important thing is that we are open to exchange, in this solidarity market, things that are more than things, rather objects, products or services that truly mean something to us. May exchange be a moment in which, with things, products and services, bonds are created, complicities are strengthened, and collective struggles are reinvented for well-being. Only then, is exchange solidary and, in a still very imperfect way, it is true, can one experience the ethics of the mutual obligations of the Ubuntu philosophy: I am, because we are.

Evaluation of the Summer School

On the last day, participants are invited to hand back a school evaluation form, be delivered to them on the first day to fill out. There will also be a roundtable in which each participant can explain their critical evaluation of the school, mentioning the better and the worse.
