Orality. Information. Collective Memory. Knowledge production. Decoloniality of thought.
Discusses the consequences of coloniality initiated in the maritime expansion here in the Americas, among which stands out the hierarchy of races as a support to structural racism. From this, it is argued about the Western European and Northern epistemic privilege in the construction of knowledge and reveals the epistemicide suffered by the descendants of the African diaspora, with the weakening of the being through the devaluation and erasure of its constructions and epistemological contributions to social development. From this point on, orality is discussed as a central aspect of this study as an important source of informational research, with the main objective of analyzing its contribution to the construction of knowledge and to the continuity of collective memory within urban quilombos resulting from the African diaspora. To carry out the research, in addition to the formation of a theoretical framework based on the studies of Information Science - IC on the subject and other related areas, semi-structured interviews will be carried out with the Quilombo do Catucá Cultural Center - Camaragibe-PE, Maracatu Leão Coroado - Olinda/PE and Mestre Naná de Santana - Recife/PE, considered here a quilombo being. As a conclusion, it is expected to show the importance of orality as an important source of information, builder of memories and knowledge in black quilombola communities and with that to open up more foundation for new studies within the IC that prioritize the decoloniality of thought
