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.

In this long-awaited book, Timothy J. Lensmire examines the problems and promise of progressive literacy education. He does this by developing a series of striking metaphors in which, for example, he imagines the writing workshop as a carnival or popular festival and the teacher as a novelist who writes her student-characters into more and less desirable classroom stories. Grounded in Lensmire's own and others' work in schools, Powerful Writing, Responsible Teaching makes powerful use of Bakhtin's theories of language and writing and Dewey's vision of schooling and democracy. Lensmire's book is, at once, a defense, a criticism, and a reconstruction of progressive and critical literacy approaches.
The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of teaching language for communication. It is written principally for teachers who wish to adopt a communicative approach and would like to reflect on the principles that underlie it.
