Understanding that the colonization process intensified not only racism but also patriarchal practices as a structuring element of modern societies, the meaning (significance and direction) that the differentiation and hierarchy of gender made by European populations triggered in the strengthening of patriarchy exercised as domination. However, the different forms of matriarchy in existence and practiced on the African continent were recreated in the Brazilian diaspora through economic, political, cultural and religious relations through community actions brokered by black women. By Bringing the Afro-civilization values synthesized by Azoilda Loretto da Trindade, in addition to basic elements of Cheikh Anta Diop, Molefi Kete Asante, Ama Mazama and Marimba Ani’s Afrocentric thought of and Ifi Amadiume and Oyèrónké Oyewùmí perspective to the African matriarchy, we aim to understand the non-homogeneous centrality of the female figure on the African continent and how this way of being, being, acting and thinking in the world is still inscribed in Brazilian urban landscapes. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to get rid of preconceptions normalized within modern sciences and to understand the relevance of the different ways in which women used, appropriated urban space and forged cities throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. |

Entendiendo que el proceso de colonización intensificó no solo el racismo, sino también las prácticas patriarcales como elemento estructurante de las sociedades modernas, el sentido (sentido y sentido) que la diferenciación y jerarquización de género realizada por las poblaciones europeas desencadenó en el fortalecimiento del patriarcado ejercido como dominación. Sin embargo, las diferentes formas de matriarcado existentes y practicadas en el continente africano fueron recreadas en la diáspora brasileña a través de relaciones económicas, políticas, culturales y religiosas a partir de acciones comunitarias mediadas por mujeres negras. En este sentido, el objetivo de este estudio es acercar los valores de la afrocivilización sintetizados por Azoilda Loretto da Trindade a elementos básicos del pensamiento afrocéntrico de Cheikh Anta Diop, Molefi Kete Asante, Ama Mazama y Marimba Ani y de la El matriarcado africano en la perspectiva de Ifi, Amadiume y Oyeronke Oyewumi para comprender la centralidad no homogénea de la figura femenina en el continente africano y cómo esta forma de ser, ser, actuar y pensar en el mundo aún está inscrita en los paisajes urbanos brasileños. Para ello, es necesario despojarse de preconceptos normalizados dentro de las ciencias modernas y comprender la relevancia de las diferentes formas en que las mujeres usaron, se apropiaron del espacio urbano y forjaron las ciudades a lo largo de los siglos XVIII, XIX y XX. Entendendo que o processo de colonização intensificou não só o racismo, mas também práticas patriarcais como elemento estruturante das sociedades modernas, o sentido (significado e direção) que a diferenciação e hierarquização de gênero feita pelas populações europeias desencadeou no fortalecimento do patriarcado exercido como dominação. Entretanto, as diferentes formas de matriarcado existentes e praticadas no continente africano foram recriadas na diáspora brasileira através de relações econômicas, políticas, culturais e religiosas a partir de ações comunitárias agenciadas por mulheres pretas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo é trazer os valores Afro-civilizatórios sintetizados por Azoilda Loretto da Trindade somados a elementos básicos do pensamento afrocentrado de Cheikh Anta Diop, Molefi Kete Asante, Ama Mazama e Marimba Ani e do matriarcado africano sob a ótica de Ifi Amadiume e Oyèrónké Oyewùmí para compreendermos a centralidade, não homogênea, da figura feminina no continente africano e como essa forma de ser, estar, agir e pensar no mundo está ainda hoje inscrita nas paisagens urbanas brasileiras. Para isso se faz necessário despir-se de preconceitos normalizados dentro das ciências modernas e compreender a relevância das diferentes formas pelas quais as mulheres, usaram, se apropriaram do espaço urbano e forjaram cidades ao longo dos séculos XVIII, XIX e XX.
