Resumo: | Departing from the premise that decoloniality is growing in popularity within contemporary Brazilian Applied Linguistics studies, this paper claims in favor of a more performative decolonial praxis so as to prevent decoloniality from universality. In doing so, the text begins with some theorizations on decolonial thought with an emphasis on the triad fundamental in any decolonial exercise, that is to Identify-Interrogate-Interrupt coloniality. The paper, then, claims in favor of thinking communication otherwise which, along with the notions of bringing back the body and marking the unmarked, constitute the necessary decolonial strategies if one wishes to interrupt coloniality. A critical examination of The falling Sky: words of a Yanomami shaman, co-authored by Kopenawa and Albert (2013), is brought to the fore as illustrative of a decolonial pedagogy which attempts to help language teacher educators and researchers to become attentive to socially-just-oriented educational agendas that claim to be culturally-sensitive whereas, in fact, they may be serving the purposes of a still prevailing colonial project. |

Para tanto, o artigo inicia com algumas teorizações acerca da decolonialidade, com ênfase à tríade prevista em qualquer exercício decolonial, qual seja, a tarefa de Identificar-Interrogar-Interromper a colonialidade. O texto advoga em favor de uma comunicação outra, que, somada às noções de trazer o corpo de volta e marcar o não marcado, constituem estratégias decoloniais fundamentais para a interrupção da colonialidade. A discussão das estratégias é seguida por uma análise crítica da obra The falling Sky: words of a Yanomami shaman, de Kopenawa e Albert (2013), como exemplo de pedagogia decolonial que nos ajuda, na condição de pesquisadores e formadores de professores de línguas, a nos tornarmos mais alertas acerca de agendas educacionais afeitas à justiça social e à interculturalidade mas ainda alicerçadas em projetos coloniais.Departing from the premise that decoloniality is growing in popularity within contemporary Brazilian Applied Linguistics studies, this paper claims in favor of a more performative decolonial praxis so as to prevent decoloniality from universality.
