EDUCAÇÃO TERRRITORIALIDADE E LUTA CIGANA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DO POVO CALON NO DISTRITO FEDERAL

Abstract

This article is the result of a social investigation, started in the master's degree and continued through the Doctorate in Education at the University of Brasilia (UnB), which seeks to bring to the fore the reality in which the Calon Gypsies live in Sobradinho DF in its territorialization process and fight for land ownership. Community that goes through a process of cultural changes and transitions from a situation of nomadism to a situation of sedentarism. Due to their free-living culture, they find numerous difficulties of adaptation to the proposed model of society. Thus, fixed housing and land ownership are still spaces antagonistic to their historical ways of life. In this way, this research will approach the historical-cultural path of the gypsy people, contributing to the analysis and understanding of the associations between gypsy ethnicity and the struggle, seeking to identify an intercultural education policy supported by Human Rights, which allows the effective social inclusion education of the Roma people in the Federal District. Of qualitative character, we have as theoretical base dialectical historical materialism, which investigates the social representations about the gypsy people and how these representations, in turn, influence in their ethnic and territorial conflicts.
