Revisiting “old” Latin-American texts from the “present time” of Critical Pedagogies. Key ideas to discuss lines of continuity and rupture

Resumen

The reconfiguration of Critical Pedagogy from “criticism” has led us to focus not only on the challenges the field implies in practice, but also on the theoretical roots that conformed this transgressive perspective of the world. Categories linked to multiculturalism, decoloniality, imagination and hope, retake “old” sequences that are reread today in the light of contexts where we act and which we intend to transform. Along these lines, this presentation will search for such categories in texts written by two Argentinian authors from the popular culture field with Latin American projection, namely Rodolfo Kush and Arturo Jauretche, in which theoretical antecedents and contextual statements can be revisited from the Critical Pedagogies´ standpoint. This journey to the past through these authors makes us travel in time and space, but it also relocates us in the present time along the axes upon which the critical field in education has been built: power, history, language and culture.
