ASTRONOMIA CULTURAL: UM OLHAR DECOLONIAL SOBRE E SOB OS CÉUS DO BRASIL

Abstract

This paper brings a reflection on the study of Astronomy in Cultures as a way of contributing to a decolonial thinking about the ways of observing and interpreting the sky and astronomical phenomena. In order to value and give visibility to the epistemologies of the South and as a way of counteracting the dominant logic of the Eurocentric episteme, we point out ways for new perspectives on and under the skies of Brazil, from indigenous knowledge.
