Circulation of affections in the school curriculum: between the kitchen and cooking, stories and narratives of black women teachers

Abstract

This article highlights reflections in the field of education and curriculum, taking the stories and narratives of black women teachers with an emphasis on the circulation of affections, using the epistemologies of the crossroads as a methodological reference, anchored in the Yoruba cosmoperception. Narrative mirroring was the analytical tool, and the results indicate that cooking and the kitchen are defined as spaces of re-signification, to strengthen the lost bonds between black people, because it is possible to trigger, highlight affections and circulate them in the school curriculum. The analysis of the stories of black women teachers points to categories that have been reconfigured as affections that drive choices and practices
