Abstract

This text is a reflection provoked by the speech of Yalorixá Wanda Araújo given during the Mulheres de Axé e Universidade (Women of Axé and University) Meeting at Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, in 2020, to discuss religiosity and politics. It proposed the "pedagogy of terreiros" as spaces that provide meetings and intersections of ways of knowing and doing, both promoted by crossroads. The proposal is to make the speech act as a bridge between the terreiro's community and the academy, providing a "terreiro conversation" between philosophers, economists, sociologists, and anthropologists who deal with the subject today and a Yalorixá, with the perspective of the intersection of ancestral and contemporary knowledge, policies, and epistemologies constitutive of the Brazilian diaspora.
