SH 18: Mesa temática 2 - Giras Epistemológicas

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The video provides valuable insights into the epistemological value of capoeira and popular culture, arguing for the recognition of traditional knowledge as legitimate forms of knowledge production. The speakers present compelling arguments based on their lived experiences and community work, highlighting the social and cultural impact of capoeira. The argumentation is strong in its authenticity and practical grounding, though it lacks formal academic citations and systematic analysis. The discussion effectively challenges the dominance of Western academic paradigms and advocates for a more inclusive and decolonial approach to knowledge.

Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy

The video is a roundtable discussion, so it does not rely on traditional scientific sources. However, the speakers reference their own projects, such as the ‘Universidade da Capoeira’ and the ‘Biblioteca Comunitária Francisco da Silva Ciríaco’, which are concrete initiatives. The title accurately reflects the content, as the discussion indeed revolves around epistemological journeys. The video does not cite external sources, but the speakers’ testimonies serve as primary sources of information. The adequacy between title and content is high, as the roundtable directly addresses the theme of epistemological journeys.

The title accurately reflects the content, which is a thematic roundtable on epistemological journeys within capoeira and popular culture.
