Práticas meditativas, educação e perspectiva decolonial

Abstract

This article aims to raise evidence of possibilities for coping and overcoming the pillars that support Modernity / Coloniality from the decolonial approach, in the educational field of meditative practices. The data come from a survey and study of productions found on Google Scholar, on the portals of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). They refer to a qualitative research, bibliographic-documentary, with descriptive and analytical objectives. The analyzes are based on the authors' thinking under the decolonial perspective. There is strong evidence, based on the theoretical framework, that the data point to a strengthening of the a-political stance, of absence or incipient direct engagement, of the subject at the expense of the social, which help to make the status quo remain and reaffirm, that is, the pillars of Modernity / Coloniality.
