INTERCULTURALIZARTE

Abstract

: This work consists of a study about a pedagogical intervention carried out in the arts discipline in order to approach intercultural relations among indigenous and non-indigenous people. The objective of this work is to analyze if the activity reached its goal which was to deconstruct stereotypes and prejudices against the indigenous by means of artists activities. To achieve this goal, were held, with the students, debates, conver-sation circles, a painting workshop and a visit to an indigenous reserve. These works were developed based on theoretical reflections developed in the scope of different fields of knowledge, such as Cognitive Linguistics (KÖ-VECSES, 2005), Cultural Studies (BHABHA, 1998), Anthropology on the Guarani and Kaiowa (BENITES, 2012), and on studies on arts and teaching (BARBOSA, 2003). The results of this work point out that there was sensibilization of non-Indian students in relation to indigenous people, deepening of knowledge on indigenous issues, on the concept of culture, and on the importance of diversifying ways of pedagogical approaches.
