African and South Renaissances
Brothers, when I say that we should be inspired by Exu's Sociology in the academy and transgress by working, for example, to change the relationships of Cultural Hegemony, I am saying that our works seek recognition of these African and Amerindian civilizational values and standards of our ancestors so that they are present in the refounding of our institutions (just like the Hindu Renaissance and the Ideal of the African Renaissance that I am the author of and should be a common guideline in the Latin American Renaissance that is born of our works). Example: As the studies by Verger and Bastide as well as Balandier and other African authors such as Wande Abimbola and Bolanlé Awé show and which I quote in my book, the Market in Lower Benin ((and all West Africa) arises from female transgression when breaking with current male standard that determined that to conquer the surplus production of other clans and ethnicities, war should be waged (In fact, even today, the patriarchy of our post-modern civilization wages wars in the name of the surplus production of other peoples, currently for energy resources above all, even making political use of Human Rights and International Law of multilateral institutions ) and that the maternal instinct and the Earth Mothers code present in most ethnic groups in West Africa when they see their children not returning from these wars, their maternal instinct (present in the code of these matriarchal societies, for the preservation and education of the lineage) makes them go to the tracks to exchange these surpluses. es, then the coin appears, (in the buzios) right after the squares and the market around which the urbanization process begins, giving rise to the cities (and women with this transgression save society from self-destruction, which is why symbolically the market is mythically attributed to Exu in the case of the yorubás, the transgressor and the other tricksters in other societies). In this way the functionality and reason for creating the market in these ancestral civilizations of ours is the distribution of goods and services and above all these production surpluses so that conflicts are avoided and that arise from the matriarchal code and the maternal instinct , and not profit and accumulation of riches as an end in itself!!! I remember that these women came to our markets in Brazil and had the same behavior... Guys, what does this change in historical terms? If this real narrative of our Afro-descendant history of our ancestors is legitimized... First, the role of the black woman as heroine (and not the Greek hero and Roman father) prompts us to recognize a new role for them in our society. And the very narrative that in the civilizations of the majority of our population that is Afro-descendant that the market arises from matriarchal societies by the maternal instinct to preserve society and bring development as a central function changes the whole logic of the "Philosophy of Economics" that we study in our universities and will certainly inspire new unorthodox economic theories, especially in micro systems and economic experiences in the interior of the country and in the peripheries, very far from what is the Market and its laws today, influencing this institution, as is the objective of the Renaissances of the South since the nineteenth century Hindu Renaissance and twentieth century African of bringing these civilizing values from our ancestors of the majority of our population to our Institutions, Well in short, a society of majority population coming from civilizations like those of West Africa, a civilization that from a transgression of Matriarchy created the Market motivated by the maternal instinct, to prevent their children from dying, it has to have economic and even macroeconomic policies different from a Patriarchal society that created the Market based on Will of Power and Ambition and Capital Accumulation as an end in itself, these discussions made the eyes of Foreign Affairs and Economics students shine in the class I gave at UFABC yesterday, which is priceless for any Oluko to see spaces of power and intellectual production shaping our future cultural elite being conquered by decolonized thinking accompanied by affirmative actions inclusive of the population in question. . That is why the so important ECARTES DESCARTES (Dècolonisez Vous) .... Thank you to all of you brothers for this moment of birth of our Latin American Renaissance.
