Afro-Brazilian Culture; Physical Education; Knowledge Production; Scoping Review.
In light of discussions about coloniality of power (Quijano, 2005), devices of raciality (Carneiro, 2023) and epistemicide (Carneiro, 2023), the present study aimed to identify what has been produced about the dialogue of Afro-Brazilian culture in the area of Physical Education based on the mapping of productions in the SCIELO, LILACS, CAPES and ERIC Periodicals databases, over the last 20 years (2003-2023). This is a descriptive-exploratory research with a qualitative approach carried out based on a scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR extension protocol. 74 articles that went through Bardin's (2011) categorical content analysis technique were included in the research. The present study seeks to expand the dialogue on culture (Bauman, 2012; Geertz, 2008; Hall, 2016) to elucidate its spaces in the area of Physical Education and how Afro-Brazilian culture, based on the struggle trajectories of the black movement, reflect the advances and gaps in dealing with the topic in the area in question. The predominance of a thematic approach was observed in studies on capoeira, football and dance, as well as dialogue with discursive axes on representation and identity construction, racism and curriculum. Regarding the main gaps in dealing with the topic, research revealed the deficit in initial training, the absence of training courses and continued training for dialogue with the topic and the predominance of Eurocentric curricula as the main factors. Finally, significant advances have been observed in the dialogue of Afro-Brazilian culture since 2018 with a greater incidence of productions, however, the gaps presented in the studies reveal themselves as an important factor to be considered that hinder the possibility of extracting potential of the area for dealing with the theme
