A alteridade e a espiritualidade dos universitários potiguara da Paraíba

Abstract

This is the first PPGCR research produced by a Potiguara of Paraíba to understand how the relations of the academic universe and the spirituality dimensions of the Potiguara indigenous university students build their ethnic alterity and their traditional knowledge within the university, as these university students practice the scientific knowledge within the indigenous village. This research has a goal to investigate the actions of Potiguara university students in the continuity and preservation of their alterity and ethnic spirituality as indigenous people, both in the academy and in the indigenous village. The main theorists.are: Barcellos (2014), Eliade (2002); Santos (2009); Palitot (2005), Vieira (2010); Mendonça (2014); Silva (2011); Sousa (2017), among other theorists. This is an ethnographic research with a qualitative approach, presenting the self-ethnography character because the author is a member of the Potiguara nation. As research instruments were used the participant observation since in the indigenous universe, the presence in loco is primordial to investigate the object of the study; the field diary with all notes, the scripts, the restlessness with the indigenous people; the semistructured interviews that are essential to deepening the featured themes in the research. As a result, the study revealed that the Potiguara university students continue to cultivate their alterity and spirituality, the two primordial elements of the indigenous culture, offering a recommended return for the strengthening of their myths and ethnic rites. Despite the individualistic aspect of the University, it was identified that the indigenous university students accept their Potiguara identity, as well, the collectivity spirit, within the University, thus being able to return to their indigenous village, bringing the scientific knowledge to contribute with your community. How this will happen, time will reveal!
