Saberes que inspiram práticas políticas

entrevista com a cientista política e vereadora da Câmara Municipal de Belo Horizonte, Bella Gonçalves

Abstract

This interview brings a dialogue about the relation among Bella Gonçalves' academic education and her political practices. We talked about her trajectory in Social Sciences, in social movements and in the Municipality of Belo Horizonte. We also talk about her academic perspectives, as well as the intellectuals, writers, theories, concepts and knowledge that inspire her political practices. With questioning answers, Bella Gonçalves provokes us to reflect about the formation of broad and diverse political majorities and the challenge of building concepts that deal with the historical impasses and collective traumas that divide us, such as colonization, slavery and the extermination of traditional knowledge.
