Tal como lo constituye la perspectiva del feminismo descolonial en la región Latinoamericana/Abiayalense, parte del trabajo en la RPD consiste en el auspicio, edición y divulgación de escritos pertinentes a las necesidades contextuales de la región, en el orden de desarrollo de una geopolítica del conocimiento que piense el Sur como un proceso alternativo para un concepto nuevo de Dignidad Humana, con conciencia de identidad matria, regionalista y latinoamericana; fundada en la práctica de la justicia, el diálogo y la liberación individual y colectiva de los pueblos. Así pues, el presente libro titulado “Poéticas de los Feminismos Descoloniales desde el Sur” es un ejemplo de la rigurosidad por seguir fortaleciendo las discusiones provenientes desde Nuestra América, que logren mostrar “otras” epistemologías críticas, auto-críticas y reflexivas en los Estudios de Género. En efecto, la necesidad de continuar re-pensando la teoría feminista desde el Sur, implica un reto a fin de establecer diálogos entre la realidad concreta y la praxis de los sectores oprimidos o subalternos que resisten, existen y reclaman por Justicia y Liberación
En muchos contextos académicos se mantiene la hegemonía intelectual como omnipresencia y lugar de superioridad del pensamiento científico, excluyendo saberes constituidos en otros tiempos y comunidades fuera del alcance de la racionalidad moderna. Este libro es una recuperación de la experiencia compartida entre tres comunidades de Chile, Argentina y Brasil, desmarcada de los tradicionales y rígidos límites de la investigación en educación. En medio de la matriz normalizada del saber y del conocer, caracterizada por el realismo epistémico y la pretensión de la objetiva neutralidad, compartimos nuestra praxis académica como experiencia que no separa la investigación de la vida. Nos interesa dar cuenta de las vivencias de lo íntimo, de lo propio y comunitario, de la presencia de los afectos compartidos, de la erótica que pulsa lo indagativo y el sentido vital subjetivo que se experimenta en común-unidad y que reconocemos como investigación-vida.
The ideas for this reader came out of a conference organized through the Centre for Global Citizenship Education and Research (CGCER) at the University of Alberta in 2013. With the high expansion of global citizenship education scholarship in the past 15 or so years, and with most of this scholarship produced in the west and mostly focused on the citizenship lives of people in the so-called developing world, or selectively attempting to explain the contexts of marginalized populations in the west, the need for multidirectional and decolonizing knowledge and research perspectives should be clear. Indeed, the discursive as well as the practical constructions of current global citizenship educa...
This book invites readers to explore the critical interruptions occasioned by queer pedagogies. Building on earlier scholarly work in this area, as well as pedagogical production arising out of queer activism, the chapters in this volume examine a broad range of themes as they collectively grapple with the meaning and practice of queer pedagogy across different contexts. In this way, Queer Pedagogies provides a glance at new ways of thinking about and acting on contemporary educational topics and debates situated at the intersection of queer studies and education. In taking up the concept of queer pedagogy, the volume provides ample opportunities for scholars, educators, activists, and other cultural workers to critically engage with ongoing questions of theory, praxis, and politics.
Through innovative and critical research, this anthology inquires and challenges issues of race and positionality, empirical sciences, colonial education models, and indigenous knowledges. Chapter authors from diverse backgrounds present empirical explorations that examine how decolonial work and Indigenous knowledges disrupt, problematize, challenge, and transform ongoing colonial oppression and colonial paradigm. This book utilizes provocative and critical research that takes up issues of race, the shortfalls of empirical sciences, colonial education models, and the need for a resurgence in Indigenous knowledges to usher in a new public sphere. This book is a testament of hope that places decolonization at the heart of our human community.
Essays by some of the world's leading educators provide a revolutionary portrait of new ideas and developments in education that can influence the possibility of social and political change. The authors take into account such diverse terrain as feminism, ecology, media, and individual liberty in their pursuit of new ideas that can inform the fundamental practice of education and promote a more humane civil society. The book consolidates recent thinking just as it reflects on emerging new lines of critical theory.
The book publishing industry is going through a period of profound and turbulent change brought about in part by the digital revolution. What is the role of the book in an age preoccupied with computers and the internet? How has the book publishing industry been transformed by the economic and technological upheavals of recent years, and how is it likely to change in the future? This is the first major study of the book publishing industry in Britain and the United States for more than two decades. Thompson focuses on academic and higher education publishing and analyses the evolution of these sectors from 1980 to the present. He shows that each sector is characterized by its own distinctive...
This revised edition of the classic text explores the complexity of what learning to teach means. While the research on teacher education continues to proliferate, Practice Makes Practice remains the discipline’s indispensable classic text. Drawing upon critical ethnography, this new edition of this best-selling book asks the question, what does learning to teach do and mean to newcomers and to those who surround them? Deborah P. Britzman writes poignantly of the struggle for significance and the contradictory realities of secondary teaching. She offers a theory of difficulty in learning and explores why the blaming of individuals is so prevalent in education. The completely revised introd...
"The anthology Curating and the Educational Turn introduces twenty-seven critical essays describing this phenomenon and represents an extremely helpful tool for anyone interested in the future of curatorship and exhibitions. The book shows the huge potential that exists for art institutions to be laboratories and places of knowledge production."--Book jacket.
