This thesis analyzes the contribution of Kabengele Munanga to pedagogical ideas produced in Brazil, having, as epistemologic basis, the archetypology of Gilbert Durand ́s imaginary and his mythodologic heuristic, myth-critic and myth-analysis.My research shows that the mytheme -a guiding principle which is present in all of Munanga ́s work -is a notion of "being," in which self identity emerges from a dialogic interaction between the "self" and the "other" and is informed by an emphasis on responsibility, interactional commitment, and complementarity.Such identity formation is marked by skin color and the cultural production of black people.It is also marked by the historical and economic contribution of black people to Brazilian society.Likewise, identity is marked also by the restoration of African history, cosmology, and religion.In fact, only within the dialogical relation of word and orality, can one recognize the "self" of a human being as aware that her existence is measured by interpersonal interaction.Indeed, when expressing through the word, a human being comes out of her/himself not to become "another self" (he/she), but to find her/himself in fullness through the effecti of sama word.Such an opening represents the direction and orientation of the process of realization of a being.Through the acquisition of knowledge about ones's ancestrality, a person sees her or himself facing the problem of representations.When deciphering the world, one places her or himself through enigmas, which are symbols of mystery.Munanga ́s work is informed by a commitment to the resurgence of a primordial ancestral being.According to this perspective, education focuses on the necessity of periodically returning, to the archetype, to a purer state of existence, and to principles mediated by the symbols, the images, and the narratives of her/his ancestrality.Therefore, education is seen as the mediator of this world, not only in an intellectual sense, but also in a social and subjective sense in which interaction among individuals and their environment are central.Munanga ́s work opens important and strategic venues, particularly with respect to it emphasis on the Hermesian complementary character of mediation between the level of rationality and the level of understanding.That process expresses itself in the foundations of Munanga ́s scholarship, and therefore allows for an understanding of the role of African cosmology to Brazilian culture.According to approaches proposed by several researchers, those Africanities have in Munanga one of their main spokesperson, who has brought countless relevant contributions to Brazilian education
