"Amazonizar"

This article results from an interdisciplinary effort developed within the scope of the Federal University of Amapá. It results from the work of professors of the course Education, Power and Territory, offered by the Postgraduate Programs in Education (PPGED) and Geography (PPGEO) of this institution. This component discussed how official education has situated itself throughout the different territorial dynamics that have developed in the Amazon and presented strategies of resistance in the memories and territorialities of the Amazonian peoples. In this writing, we synthesize part of the course debate, discussing, first, different processes of expropriation and exploitation that the region and its peoples have been/are subjected to; second, arguing the need for schooling to approach the political ontologies (Escobar, 2016) of Amazonian peoples, that is, the forms of struggle and resistance of indigenous peoples and traditional populations, mobilized by their cultures and cosmogonies, distinct from the instrumental rationality of Western modernity and constituent of capitalism. https://doi.org/10.21723/riaee.v19i00.1948202
