Abstract

The text African philosophy: necropolitics and poetics of resistance aims to problematize necropolitics from the Brazilian landscape. In this regard, it has the meaning of defending a decolonized black life based on Brazilian African philosophy. The timid dialogue of philosophy in Brazil in debate with the issue of ethno-racial relations and the African worldview in Brazilian philosophy is the expression of the fight against black-African descent in the Brazilian political project. In this sense, it seeks from the reflection of the discussion of Brazilian African philosophy an inspiration in combating the politics of death through poetic language.
