This article is the result of a dissertation by Otávio A. Chaves R. dos Santos, under the supervision of Dr. Allene Carvalho Lage, as well as reflections of the Latin American Philosophy Study Group of the Federal University of Pernambuco - Agreste Campus (Grupo de Estudo Filosofia Latino-americana da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - Campus Agreste). Based on the assumption that there is an epistemology of the populations of the Agreste of Pernambuco, the authors aim to understand the conditions of elaboration, organization, languages and production of popular knowledge constructed by men and women of the arts of letters, clay, therapeutic care (healers and raizeiros) and the cultivation of the land. The present study wants, specifically, to highlight the structuring, the dynamics and the specific processes of the Epistemologies of the Pernambuco Agreste. This study in question is based on the Epistemologies of the South, underlined by Santos (1983; 2010), Fals Borda (1995), Brandão (1994) and Arroyo (2012). The methodology adopted is of an exploratory nature, coined by the Extended Case (Caso Alargado) method (Lage, 2013) that provided both the election of the collection tools and the data analysis technique. The results obtained were: a) there is an intimate relationship between the conditions experienced and the elaboration of meanings and knowledge produced by the subjects; b) there is a structural and, at the same time, dynamic and proper framework to produce knowledge of the Agrestinas populations; c) Popular Education is invited to (re)visit itself from the Agrestinas epistemologies that raise other sources, instruments and organizational ways of the popular subjects to pronounce their cosmoperceptions and their contributions to a dialogical and critical-transformative education; d) these epistemologies emerge from the daily life lived and reflected from the cycles of nature, the exchange of knowledge and the (self)narratives of native and/or resident social subjects.
