Negritude, diáspora negra e pan-africanismo: o antagonismo denegado defensivo do universalismo filosófico tradicional

Abstract

This dissertation investigates how the concepts of Negritude, Black Diaspora, and Pan-Africanism function as philosophical forms of resistance to colonial epistemicide and contribute to the construction of alternatives to Eurocentric universalism. Drawing on the works of Frantz Fanon, Achille Mbembe, Ivan Luiz Monteiro, Zilá Bernd, Petrônio Domingues, bell hooks, and Angela Davis, the study analyzes the ontological and epistemic implications of the coloniality of being, revealing how modern Western thought is grounded in the exclusion and dehumanization of Black and colonized peoples. The dissertation pays particular attention to the concept of Ubuntu, based on the works of Alexandre do Nascimento and Mogobe Ramose, who propose a relational ontology that challenges the individualistic notion of the modern subject. It demonstrates that African philosophical traditions not only contest the dominant philosophical canon but also offer alternative horizons of being, knowledge, and emancipation.
