In this report, we show the initial frame of our thesis proposal: the aquilombamento virtual mediatic (AVM). It is a way of seeing black media through a methodological axis, having as theoretical basis in the idea of Quilombism (NASCIMENTO, 2019); of virtual Bios (SODRÉ, 2002) and of the quilombos as a political power (NASCIMENTO, 2014). The AVM extends the analytical approach to media practices carried out virtually by the black movement, with the aim of welcoming, breaking the logic of a single story and disseminating content directed at the issue of race and its intersectionalities. A methodological look in this context realizes that the brazilian black media find inspiration for the construction of resistance narratives in quilombos and pre-abolition colonial struggle. Thus, they see communication and, consequently, journalism, as a way to build new narratives about black people and the opposition to the coloniality of the hegemonic media in the anti-racist struggle. In this way, we methodologically develop the articulation between the methods of non-participant observation in a network, interviews and bibliographical research. By black media we understand a group of insurgent communicational experiences that (co)moves people in the rewriting of another narrative about black people. Although pluridiverse, they are often articulated and have similar characteristics that can be understood as anti-racist journalism practices. These experiences are motivated by the struggle against structural racism, sexism, single story, domination, the corporate media agenda, exclusion, invisibility and the social and cognitive injustices of the world. Therefore, they can be seen as productions with a significant decolonial and counter-hegemonic aspect. As main references, we bring authors such as Djamila Ribeiro, Sílvio Almeida, Sueli Carneiro, Lélia González, Abdias Nascimento, Conceição Evaristo, Beatriz Nascimento, Achille Mbembe e Rosane Borges in order to contribute to the construction of this research.
