SUMMARY:

This dissertation seeks to develop an investigation about the procedures of cross-cultural
translation through an analysis of the values and operational meanings of the term proto-bantu
Kalunga, therefore, it seeks to organize the writing and interpretation of data through a
multidisciplinary approach in which it positions in instrumental-analytical parity the
disciplinary fields related to history, linguistics, philosophy and anthropology. The research
revolves around two main referring discursive supports, respectively: i. the construction and
mobilization of the epistemologies of the south axis, decentralized from the geopolitical center
of the elaboration of knowledge, linked to western ideologies which integrate and determine
human hierarchies; and ii. the invocation of the constitutional degrees of African and black
diasporic ontologies. Based on these two pillars, a writing structure is proposed that proposes a
critical scheme of African proposals for the resumption of autonomy in the face of modes of
identity recognition and scientific production itself, for this purpose, it outlines a description of
African subjectivities and theoretical uses and policies of the inherent racial categories, seeking
to sew meanings about ancestry; diaspora; border; crossroads; transculturality; subjectivity; and
collectivity. The methodology outlined consists of the systematization of two axes
corresponding to the African registration of the word Kalunga and its defined meanings; and
the Afro-Brazilian, diasporic record of the referent term, the central issue of this dissertation,
also seeking to systematize its modes of use and meanings. Once this stage is concluded, a
mosaic analysis of the concept is sought, using, in a comparative way, a rescue and a crossing
of the data results of the two blocks, this methodological proposal is supported by the theoretical
reference tool composed by the crossroads concept, allowing a observation that incites and
instrumentalizes the interpretation of the sources in order to incline the scientificity of the
investigation through African and non-traditional lenses. The results and conclusions or final
considerations of the study will still be included in this initial summary.
