Complexity, Knowledge, Tradition, Science, Semiarid.
This research is conceived as an action of human development in the historical trajectory of a singular element that is located in the rural community of Vila Riacho do Meio, located in the municipality of Cajazeiras - PB: The Engenho do Riacho do Meio. I sought a horizon of research that could go beyond the boundaries of fragmented school knowledge, in the sense of increasing a polyphony that could reach schools with other ways of reading, understanding and interpreting the world. I anchored my thesis: The sociocultural practice underlying the work at Engenho do Riacho do Meio is also an educational practice. It is based on traditional knowledge, but communicates with the knowledge of science. Based on the principles of complexity, woven by Edgar Morin and the knowledge of tradition contemplated by Conceição Almeida and Chico Lucas, I admit the complex method as a strategy for the construction of my narrative about the human and humanizing space named Engenho do Riacho do Meio and the provoked knowledge by this sociocultural device. Thus, the objective is weave, under the biases of complexity and transdisciplinarity, the reconnection of knowledge from the intertwining between traditional and scientific knowledge, seeking to identify the elements that evidence this approach and, consequently, narrate life experiences and the way they organize their knowledge historically shared through tradition. In this sense, I sought to identify the elements that evidence this approach and, consequently, narrate life experiences and the way they organize their knowledge historically shared through tradition. As a prospective visualization of a possible future, the need for transdisciplinary training to live in / in the Brazilian Semiarid region emerges. It is based on a work of decolonization of this (de) formation that has been reproduced in schools/universities in Brazil and in the Semi-Arid/Sertão, and with that, catalyze a dialogue that must happen between scientific knowledge and the knowledge historically produced there by men and women in the production of their existence, uniting what is separated.
