RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE: RESISTANCE STRATEGIES AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUES IN QUILOMBOLA COMMUNITY OF CASTAINHO IN SEMIARID PERNAMBUCANRural Development. Quilombola Communities. Knowledge-Doings. Intercultural Dialogue.This research project aims to describe and interpret the intercultural dialogue between rural development and traditional knowledge in the promotion of social change and strengthening the autonomy of the Quilombola Community of Castainho, in the municipality of Garanhuns - PE. The investigative process will rely on the use of three techniques for data collection: Documentary analysis; Observation of the daily life and practices of the internal modifying agents of the community (local leaders) recorded in a field diary; and Semi-structured interviews based on a predefined script. The systematization, description and analysis of the information collected from documents, observations and semi-structured interviews, will be based on the perspectives of reflective sociology (MELUCCI, 2005), with the support of the Ecological Discourse Analysis - ADE (COUTO; COUTO; BORGES, 2015), which are configured as epistemic strategies that allow weaving more critical and plural reflections on the conditions of political, social and identity formation of the Quilombola Community studied.
